Recently NatalyaAF posted the giant gundam of death. many people suggested nukes or bombardment (one person suggested tank suicide charge) then tahthing mentioned arms race and like pre WW1 Dreadnaughts i though SCREW THIS I WANT THE BIGGEST GUNS. i've come to a realisation. MY ARMY CAN'T GET NEAR THAT!!!!! with that in mind i decided to kick of the arms race with the Juggernaught HMA (HEAVY MOBILE ARTILLERY)

The Juggernaught HMA is a Clip-Loaded Artillery piece. Each Clip carries 5 SUPER-ROUNDS. the gun may fire one round a turn untill the clip is exhausted. it may no longer firse untill the clip is replaced (this takes 2 turns and a special unit that i don't have yet. The artillery unit can unload 2 types of shells.
1. HE (High Explosive) good for EVERYTHING! as long as your targeting a single unit.
2. Scatter. this is a special round that fires upward and then splits into multiple grenade sized rounds, each round explodes on impact with the ground. while this doesn't affect vehicles as much it is devastating against infantry especially due to the larger area of effect of each shot.

$420 (prices higher than normal due to error)

Mammoth Loading Vehicle

this vehicle has a crane that is specifically desighned to load the Juggernaught HMA.

the first turn of reloading the Juggernaughts clip is removed. on the secound turn the replacement clip is loaded and you may now fire at will

$364

Wait, is this a gundam or an AC?

AC -- I figured no1 would know wtf I was talking about if that thread's title said Armoured Core as opposed to Gundam.

Umm it's based off the one from III and Silent Line.

No I'm fairly certain mine is longer. The barrel's wider too. Yours is just 2 bricks x 2 bricks circular, mine's a bit more.

I've always wanted to be in an lego arms race. My normal group of players and I are doing a sort of Warhammer 40k/Dune inspired theme. I built a fleet of 7 capital ships, shuttlecraft, an army of over 60 marines, and assorted ground craft... I don't think the rest of them built anything. It was lame.

But good luck with your mech!

40k arms races make bad and poorly painted models.
lego arms races make big guns.

Actually, she means the bore(the shaft where the projectile travels) is a 2x2 circular size. The bore on hers is bigger. (she was able to place a wheel rim in it, which is larger than a 2x2 circle)

i prefer an army of kamikaze heavy bombers suach as hailfires this 8 rockets to one vehicle. i know the armored core is big but if i unload 24 rockets on it i think it may fall. or i will resort to modern tactics opf my army: fire it from so many different points you can't kill them fast enough. ex. a full rush of 306 minifigs and about 40 small artillary and 3 big artillarys.
