[motorhead fan]

But, don't you have any random minifigures at all? Are you seriously telling me that you only have minifigures that magically fit into factions?

I have a graveyard of various heads, torsos, and legs. Many of them are missing Arms, hands, ect. I cannibalized a lot of my figs to make so many factions

[Kaplan]

The over-view photos are just EPIC!

[Zupponn]

I also like that the ZMC Iconoclast is still built.

Hell be sticking around, as he's one of my favourite minifig designs. It's unlikely that hell gain any minions though--I just have too many black-uniformed factions already.

It could be cool to see him in a soap as a representative or something.

And then gets assassinated.

The fun-size snickers bar she keeps behind her eyepatch is neither fun, nor candy. It's thermite.

Vehicles

Envoy ITV

Spoiler

Show

This speedy vehicle is compact enough to be airdropped onto a battlefield.

The little floodlight above the passenger windscreen is my favorite part.

Courier MRAP

Spoiler

Show

The last word in rapid troop deployments only lacks air conditioning.

The only change since the last major post was that I added a steering wheel. Fits four to five, depending on how cramped they are.

Guardian LAV

Spoiler

Show

This amphibious assault vehicle is fully combat capable on landand sea, and can, oddly enough, survive on it's limited air supply in space.

This is one of the vehicles that is due for a large update sometime.



The only real change I made was smoothing out the doors and adding slopes and turn lights to the back.





As always, all hatches open. You can see there is an interior, which fits around eight soldiers and two crewmen.

Statesman IFV

Spoiler

Show

The little brother of the Diplomat trades armor and firepower for transport capacity.

This is probably my favorite build.



It is absolutely unchanged from last time. I don't think it will be changed.



I mean, look at it!







It's got opening hatches and shit!



A full interior can fit six troops and two crewmen

Diplomat Main Battle Tank.

Spoiler

Show

The staple of the United Systems Military, the Diplomat possesses intimidating firepower at the cost of some maneuverability.

I just realized that some parts aren't 100% pressed down. Oh well.



I may add more armor to the skirts in the future.



The booty of the beast. Making the engine(inside) removable is a goal for the future.



No real changes have been made.



Opening hatches. I may add a trapdoor on the bottom of the hull.



Interior. It can fit a driver, a gunner, and two other figs.

Emancipator Mobile Support Platform

Spoiler

Show

Walk softly.

It's got exhaust pipes and a ladder to the top hatch. I guess there are also thrusters, which I guess is why the mech can jump in game.



I feel like I should improve this mech, but I'm not sure how.



Yes, it can fit a fig.

Chief Scout VTOL

Spoiler

Show

With heavy firepower and a snazzy paint job to match, the Chief should not be underestimated.

This guy's not gonna change. Unless I decide to make it more like a real life little bird.

Ambassador Assault Helicoptor

Spoiler

Show

With enough firepower to start and end a small war, helicopters don't get more intimidating than the Ambassador. Decimate your opponents from the air!

Most of the changes were mead to make it less like a flying stick, and more like a flying tank.



Check out them missiles!



Or at least, a flying brick...



When flying, the chaingun can lower and pivot.



Got a cockpit.

Minister Transport VTOL

Spoiler

Show

The versatile workhorse of the U.S. Military is capable of transporting troops and cargo in and out of combat. Spaceflight-capable.

Thundering engines mark it's arrival.



Armament has been slightly reduced to two gun pods and a chaingun.



Close up.



Chaingun Swivel!



Engines have a full 360 degrees of rotation.



Rear wing-things and small thrusters.



Lets walk up the ramp.





Fits at least eight.



And two pilots.

Consul Strike Fighter

Spoiler

Show

The small size and vtol capabilities of the next-generation of Consul fighters greatly expands its versatility.

This has been tremendously changed, with the only bits remaining from older versions being the nose and the engines.



The Consul is armed with twin chainguns and can carry up to three rockets per wing.



Same old thrusters.



"But wait!" you say. "How does it land?"



Surprise VTOL capabilities, motherfucker.



The wings fold up for landings, making maintenance (and storage) much easier.

Tetrarch Ground Attack Fighter

Spoiler

Show

Tetrarch flights have one objective: Unload as much ammunition as possible in a 15-second window.

Armament: 3" gattling gun, 6 rockets.





Engine status: Loud.







The landing gear can be deployed, but the wings don't fold.



Old air vehicles.

Spoiler

Show

Ambassador Attack Helicopter

Spoiler

Show

With enough firepower to start and end a small war, helicopters don't get more intimidating than the Ambassador. Decimate your opponents from the air!

Pretty much every air vehicle from here on out is badly in need of an update.



Like seriously, what the hell is this?

Minister Transport VTOL

Spoiler

Show

The versatile workhorse of the U.S. Military is capable of transporting troops and cargo in and out of combat. Spaceflight-capable.

This is my second-strongest USA air vehicle, and it is still weak.



Bad stud-non-stud balance.



Seats a shit ton.



The cockpit will not be changing though. I'm a big fan.





Landing gar folds up. The chaingun will also stay in future iterations.

Consul Strike Fighter

Spoiler

Show

Rule the skies with the pinnacle of fighter technology!

This one is okay, but I think it could be made more compact.



I'm just not sure how.



I like the cockpit, but in the future, it may be made to look more like a stealth fighter.



Landing gear! So exciting! Armed with twin autoguns, 2 anti-tank guided missiles, and 2 homing anti-fighter missiles.



Tetrarch Ground Attack Fighter

Spoiler

Show

Close Air Support has never looked so good.

"Never looked so good."

I've seen better.





Armed with 1 3" Gatling gun, four ATGMs, two HAFMs, and two unguided missile pods.

The Minuteman Point Defense Turret

Spoiler

Show

The ubiquitous Minuteman defends starships and orbital and terrestrial installations from enemy craft with a barrage of micromissiles.

This will likely be going away and getting revamped.

Emissary Truck.

Spoiler

Show

Workhorse Truck

Still a WIP. Fits two.

Statcards

Old Post

[Red_SPAMbot]

I'm pretty much just +1-ing what others have said before, But that Ambassador Attack Helicopter is luscious.

As far as wanting to "improve" the Emancipator, perhaps replacing the gat on the left arm pod with a more substantial missile battery like on some of your aerial designs?

[Battlegrinder]

I'd disagree about the Minister needing a rework, it looks badass. It's got plenty of firepower (I'd actually lean toward it being over gunned, at least if you're using it as a fly bus rather than an airborne IFV), and the wings, engines, and other details break up the outline so it doesn't look like a big box.

Also, with the Rangers, what's a demi-hero?

One of Silent's coined abilities is side-kick. It allows a unit to perform heroic feats, but not red-shirt, if the hero is killed.

Ah, so it's a backup hero? And I assume the "can't redshirt" means that it doesn't get redshirts, not that it can't throw itself in front of more important minis?
