Browsing through the armoury thread I noticed a daunting number of ACs, STDs and other kinds of heavy equipment I do not have the caliber of guns to go up against, and also saw some interesting techniqes for bigger builds which I wanted to try out. This design is my official attempt at gaining Hellios a position in the elit club of superpowers. This is what six hours of nonstop building resulted in, opinions are as always greatly appriciated.:
Atlas Type Heavy Battlewalker
With Greebling and Interior:
Two spotlights, armoured skirt, communications package and better legs added.
The interior is now fully detailed.
I really like this part. It is mostly ashameless ripoff of the minister.
The two gunners man their consoles, behind the dual core reactor can be seen.
With Scythian LAVs running amoc in cities under siege and the Raptor Hardsuit lacking the armour to combat them effectively The Department of Defence commisioned Project:Titan. The goal was to make an assault platform capable of quickly navigating broken or urban terrain, the ability to negate cover provided by buildings and the armour to stand up to the Scythians gatling lasers. The result is the Atlas Battlewalker,a 12" tall, 9"long mech with a heavily armoured torso and wireframe legs. The reduced Armour on the hip and uper leg assembly allows for great protection of the crew and generator while still allowing the walker to effectively run circles around its bigger more heavily armoured counterparts. It has primarly been designed to combat lightly armoured vehicles, but in the hands of a skiled commander it can put up a fight against STDs or other Heavy walkers.
Its armament consists of a terrifying Mk7 Autocannon firing Heavy Artillery caliber shots at 180 rpm. It also has a Mk4 Anti air Flak Cannon and a Mk2 LMG. The weapon pods on the side pylons are interchangable, but currently hold two Rocketpods, with 16 Mk1 rockets each.
This might not have the stayingpower of most traditional mechs, but it has a terrifying Alphastrike thanks to its ability to fire all of its missiles in one turn if it doesn't use its main cannon. That kind of firepower is suffiicient to take out an assyrian Armoured Core, even if the Atlas is rendered mostly useless afterwards.
As you can clearly see from this size comparison, Hellioses second bigest ground vehicle, the Minotaur Type Assault Transport, is dwarved by the Atlas. The regular trooper is barely visible in the corner.
ps.: I know It's reminiscent of a Catapult rather than an Atlas, but I've gota keep with the naming routine.
