This stuff looks epic from what little I can see. Love the dive bomber and gatling guns. The turrets are also pretty awesome, they can fit a minifig without sacrificing looks.

Tech stuff: If you're having trouble resizing try changing the camera settings instead. I never resize, just use a camera with the picture quality set permanently to 0.3 megapixels.

okay, expanded all but one of the pic's. As in expand, i took off the shrinking... thingy. But anyway, they are all back to full size but one, it is just to blurry. And another note, the heavy tanks would have to be hovering, due to the fact that i only have treads to build 1 vehicle... Unless i build 2 light tanks, and used the treads to make a Large Heavy Artillery unit...

i think i will do that

All your stuff is great, and I really like how many artillery/turrets you have. ^_^

Im back everybody! While schools had taken over I carelessly put all my used legos into a bin and left it in my closet and hidden. Of course my kitties 6th grade brother who is really into legos found them all and thought that he won the lottery or something... anyways he had to have the most epic fight scene in his head with his crappy built stuff and my stuff. His battle involved 'realistic' damage where he would dismantle things when damaged or destroyed. I got home from crew and really didn't notice anything wrong. When cleaning my room a few days later, I noticed the box was missing. I ask my bro, and he said downstairs. And that's where I found my stuff, or the remainder of it, to be precise. I guess I can only blame myself for not putting it in a freaking Swiss bank or what ever. This, however, presented itself with a whole new load of ideas and options. I forgot about brickwars up until a week ago, and have been lurking ever sense, trying to remember my brikwars account name. But I remembered, and I am working on an awesome new SHIP. It is already 75+ studs long so far, and I have yet to attach the just completed anti fighters/ shuttles weapons batteries. Then I need to add more miniguns for rocket/boarder defense, add a few reactors, a bathroom, engineering room, and engines. It will probably end up twice the length now, if I don't run out of wall plates. Completed pics will be coming, but it might be a while.

Hmm, it appears that I have only posted up / made up the fluff for the inner colonies. Shall I post the rest? Are people still interested in this faction? You may only get a bunch of posts for the next little bit as I head away on vacation in less than a week, so sorry if no pictures are posted any time soon. The way im designing my ship involves all the weapons being able to fold, flip, and flatten themselves into the ship its self, in order to ambush other ships by them thinking that it is a lowly cargo huller. Works great in getting pirates to attack you unknowingly. But making it that way is very slow going for me though...

That ship will be the center peice of my army, with maybe an escort vssel or a few fighter bombers. I will also have maybe a dozen minifigs in my army, so defiantly a lack of ground pounders showing, I might regret that later. Hopefully I can get SOME pics up before friday... until then, what does the fourm think?

I am always interested in seeing pictures of MOCs and armies and reading the fluff that goes with them.

Okay then. Expect some stuff tonight.

Awesome stuff but pics need to go in OP. Please fix.

Post by **Skyian Leader** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 2:16 am

Okay, pics of a sweet grav tank I just finished will go in tomorrow. My ship is not finished and a wip pic would give away some of the sunrises it has! So yeah, to late to put up stuff now, I will fix that with a few pics tomorrow!

Good and interesting background description, - and I really like the Dive Bomber. Those defensive turrets are wicked too.

(Sigh) Little brothers can be such a bother sometimes, but if the result is that your MOCs get improved during rebuilding I suppose that is a silver lining of sorts.

Well, before the stuff was destroyed, i had this cool but tiny grav tank. I found the body to it, and decided to make it a turret for the new grav tank!

It is 9'' long, and 4" wide, and 2.5" tall.
It has 5 guns on the chassis: a pintle mounted gun that has a elongated barrel for extra range, and can either fire at air units, or remain locked in a co-axil mount with the main gun. It has a turret mounted Beam Cannon, that is 6" long, and is the main armament of the design. The hull sports 2 2" guns that will be mainly for taking down infantry, and the front tip has a rotatable gun that i have yet to decide will be a grenade launcher or some kind of heavy blaster. I have the design down, but not the rules. I will say this, that the tank has a three man crew, and a large generator to power the main gun, but it may only shoot the main gun if the tank either doesn't fire the hull mounted weapons, or if the tank doesn't move. Yeah, the beam gun uses a lot of power
