Went to Walmart to get in on a pre-Black Friday deal, but apparently it was sold out by 9AM. So instead I picked up the Rogue One Hovertank set, which it turns out is almost as awesome as I hoped. Anyway, modded it up a bit into a tankier tank.
Comfortably seats 4. I could probably seat them against the walls if the ceiling were a plate or two higher, but eh.

So i am thinking of turning this into a full fledged faction. The backstory is kinda like this. They are a snakelike creature that has advanced and achieved space flight they are naturally venomous and use combat armor to enhance themselves and give them an edge in combat. So tell me what you think throw in some suggestions even.

The Ogel armour's edginess fits these serpents quite well. You could also resort to the Ninjago snake heads if you got any at hand, maybe even add a huge tail as a body like the Dark Eldar Sslyth:

Maybe they have a weak form of telekinesis, which helps them pilot these armours and other mech suits? Maybe there's a subspecies similiar to electric eels, that can shoot 1d4 lightning bolts at their enemies. Maybe they're more like snails or hermit crabs, and use larger armoured shells as they get older and grow bigger.

I like the idea of them constantly getting bigger, as that would open up bigger and better "Mech" Size suits.

That's actually a really cool idea! Have you seen this by any chance?

Dude, Those are awesome. Kinda blocky, I would add more curves and armour pieces, and i'm against defacing my bricks, but those are seriously cool.

Only the Lego provided ones, and only then if they look nice. I've started to remove the ones I put on when I was a kid. My father got me and my brother all of the Sante Fe train sets, so I have a shitton of 1*16 grey bricks with A big "Sante Fe" sticker on them.

Ugh, trying to get the decals perfectly straight is possibly the most annoying part of lego, not to mention the fading and peeling.
Also, I think the reason those creations are so blocky is because they were built more than ten years ago!

I rarely even apply stickers on bricks mostly because of reusability. Applying them feels like a bitch to me, as well.

Oh. Shoulda noticed that. Like the site didn't give me enough hints. Oops. I love the concept, though.

The "Bär" Wunder Waffe is a massive jump for Ethias armed to the teeth this walking bunker can take the punishment and dish it out two fold it is armed with 4 heavy autocannons capable of firing at enemies of slimier size or engaging smaller lower targets the main cannon allows it to engage enemies from long distances with armor piercing rounds it is further protected by 2 light autocannons mounted below the hips that can engage infantry with ease. This is the result of today's work i still have more details to add and im considering adding a turret however i don't know how good it would really look with a turret any suggestions are welcome!
