Nice army, very uniform and mecha-y. I do, however, feel the need to offer this as more-optimal listening:

Wow, they look great together. Oh so much red.

Look forward to the next order's and thus to continuation of the shift you have been doing from LDD to real Lego. Wonderful work.

These arrivals have given great joy to the Gamma Corps. We salute our brothers-in-arms, and wish them best of hunting in the coming wars.

Also, people can officially not give you any shit about your stuff being LDD.

Though the Scythian Carbine Laser Rifles confuse me... are they a class of carbine or rifle?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbine

Think of them as shorter rifles making use of advanced Scythian laser technology, with three firing modes and roughly the same damage as a heavy laser rifle.

I like the marines best. Concerning the vehicles, would those joints you are using not wear out after a time and become floppy?

Hehehe . . . you said "floppy"! XD

No actually, most of my joints in this style have remained sturdy despite consistent use - the only reason you don't see more in my collection is due to a lack of parts.

Nope - I prefer the RA2 theme hands down - more industrial than rock - I would use the original Hell March, but I feel that Hell March 2 suits the Scythian's better.

Many thanks to ya'll - I have to admit the transition has been awesome, and with the next order will add another 40 Marines (meaning double the current number) and two more Tarantula MK-I tanks and finish off the Orpheus (giving me a respectable armored division.) - And I am assembling the pieces to build the Behemoth (with about 80 10x2 red bricks, I can't remember how many 16x8 plates and 8 out of the 16 huge red wheels I'll need).

I am hoping to have the Behemoth complete by Manly Santa Day and then move onto my next project - Either a Savager Frigate or another SHIP - I haven't decided which yet.

Respectable, hell, I'm just glad I'm on your side.

So can you post some weapon stats?

Post by **trebnos1** » Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:50 pm

Love the color scheme, and love the novelty of these units. Well done sir, well done.

I can dig up my old Scythian Marine stat cards from the bonus materials forum -

I don't have stats for the vehicles as of yet - any suggestions for a rough guideline? I don't mind having high CP costs, its just trying to figure the rough scale of weapon damage, speed, armour and use cost.

Post by **trebnos1** » Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:54 pm

Nice... though the way I'm counting it, that rifle should only cost 8 CP... maybe I'm doing this wrong? How much does extra range cost, anyway?

Hmm, the +1 to Skill doesn't do you any good when the gun's UR is 2, an 1 will still be a critfail.

Post by **Bragallot** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 10:41 am

The troops, vehicles and guns are all pretty ugly, but they at least look like they'll get the job done.

It can still make a difference when you start adding in attack modifiers. But this is why I recommend converting d6+1s to d8s instead.
