A small assortment of characters garnished with big weapons

The snipergun shoots whatever he feels like.

I forgot to post a pic of the drone, it's a scout/bomber.

I must admit, I stole the design of the powerfist from mechs but made it a hand weapon and stole the caster gun concept from Outlaw Star. The rules it has include a bunch of different caster shells and the occasional dud, just like the show.

Should I spread the sniper-y love? How does that work? Do the pieces have serial numbers or something?

Just take a pic of the weapon in bits, like an exploded view in Technical Drawing. Make sure the lego parts can be seen well enough, this lot should be able to figure the rest out.

Bah, OMGHUGE weapons (usually) look silly. They can look silly and awesome, but still silly.

Yeah... kill him.

With an OMGHuge weapon, preferably?

Seriously though, I think they work great for special characters, my own sig-fig actually wields one and there's plenty of Immortals who look awesome with them too.

However (!) if they are used by regular troops or in too large numbers I too would agree it would look ridiculous. But I haven't seen that happen yet.

Tbh, some of the weapons I created for my little space faction are also taller than themselves but they're gonna be heavies and they're not quite OMGHuge. Well, ABU might not like them

Haha, yeah, it's mostly just personal preference. OMGHuge weapons can look great with other armies - or look great in general (see: this thread's sniper rifle) - but they're just not for me. I recognize, though, that I play and build for BrikWars in a way that is completely out of touch with pretty much everyone else.

I like my builds semi-realistic, my troops consistent, my rules heavily structured and balanced. That way, when we get to the gameplay and random crazy shit starts going down, it's more entertaining (to me).

Your army is fantastic and you presented it really well, which is what really matters. You're also underestimating it - in terms of versatility, creation quality, size and awesomeness it's well above the forum average, to me at least. When I first joined the forum there was only Zahru who also did fantasy battles and I thought 'crap I may be out of place' but I just carried on with my stuff and meanwhile we have established Fantasy as an important sub-part of the forum (the goodwill of our fellow players also helped, kudos to yall

). My little nostalgic tale is just here to encourage to keep building your army the way you want it , it's the only way we can keep ourselves from becoming over-clichÃ©d and tedious and keep adding flavours to the delicious pot of violence and mayhem Brikwars is. I can't agree with your vision on peaches though, but then people to fight are just as important as allies to fight them with

I like the stuff but I find it really annoying when people blame bad photos on poor skills. There are about 3208946475 different photography websites that you can learn from.

Here's the pieces for the Snifle.
15 total.

1. Stick your blue lens piece on the end of a megaphone and stick it in the top of the full-of-holes sort-of-a-gun box thing.

2. Put the 1x1 tube on top of the orange circle and stick the ski-pole thing in the top, making sure to put the end without the stopper in.

3. Stick the ski-pole in the barrel of the gun box thing.

4. Attach the two wrenches to the studs on either side on the front end of the box. The part that looks like a thumb of a mitten faces up.

5. Attach the pan shaped widget to one side of the rear studs and the red sloped thing to the other side.

6. stick the second megaphone on the back end, then put the technix piece onto the stud on the megaphone.

7. Put the 1x1 flat black circle on top of the nozzle shaped widget, then put the specialish attachment thing on the front prong of the nozzle widget with the bottom facing up. this gives the handle it's special gun handle angle and provides support.

8. Shoot bullets into other minifigs.
