Hello, we’re back with another important announcement from the Trattorian Empire...

Image
I GOT MY ORDER OF 30 OTCS!!!!!!!!

Image
Standard infantry already have axe-blade bayonets so no OTCs for them, while the officers still retain their beamsabers. Pretty much everyone else in my army got OTCs, so I gathered everyone who did for a group picture.

Image
We are currently prototyping “mega”-OTCs to use as tank-mounted rams, but for now we have developed an OTC sword for a mech. It looks crappy but the correct-colored pieces will be present in the final version if we choose to go with the project.

Image
Despite our best efforts, those damned Paladins against the Peaches still smuggled some for themselves. Here is their second in command with one of their new OTCs.

So, Trattoria now has OTCs at its disposal, and many of them too. Fear us, for we grow stronger every day!

(Well, they’re going to stall for the next four years at any rate, so maybe afterwards?)

I dunno, his Army does look formidable.

In either case, I would like to see a brikwar with these guys.

I'm of the opinion that giving too many of your troops OTC's diminishes their awesomeness. But the OTC sword for your mech looks pretty fearsome.

How can you field so many OTC's without a OTC armed Apc?

yeah.. if i had that many, I wouldn't use em for infantry like that... stick em all on one giant-ass command vehicle as like a ramming cage/bulldozer/meat processor, and then it will be awesome.

Indeed. And I stick with my last opinion.

I prefer OTCs for elite minifigs only, since having one ought to reflect how pimp the wielder is. Aside from that, experimental or one-off weapon systems work nicely too, for instance if you make yourself a STD you could put an OTC mine flail on the front and it would be win.

Edit: I wonder if OTCs should have a rule making it bad for non-ossum minifigs to try to use them...

Probably not. The deal is simply no one's going to want to fight your army when you say 'all my guys have otc's i am teh leetz lol'.

Well, I've always had this obsession to give everyone OTCs because I never had even a single one. That being said, most of them will never hold OTCs in an actual brikwar due to below reason, it's just to "brag" how plentiful OTCs are in the empire.

I have indeed been planning some of these projects you guys suggested, the mech's mega-otc sword is just a sign of things to come. This is a current list of what's on my mind:

-Mega-OTC for my main mech (being prototyped)
-Mega-OTC ram for a tank (Like what ShadowScythe's thinking about doing with his SHDT)
-OTC Tank Treads
-OTC Tank-mounted "Meat Grinder"
-Side-sponson-mounted OTCs
-OTC launchers/catapults
-OTC "Net" of Death (failed)
-OTC vehicle-mounted buzzsaws
-OTC Flail

I must admit, the big otc sword carried by the mech looks rather formidable.
