DeathKnight- a Darkstorm Empire mech

[Darkstorm]

Behold the new creation from the Darkstorm empire!
THE DEATHKNIGHT!


The deadly OTC sword!


The OT gun-shields.


The darklord used to be a great warrior, but was critically injured. The mech is reminiscent of a dreadnut, but instead of armor it relies on its weaponry and shields for protection.


An updated version is coming.

[Darkstorm]

Deathknight 2.0!


Now, it can actually use its weapons effectively. The previous version had way too little power, so I buffed up its creation size.

The helmet is for added protection as well as it made the overall creation size larger.


The new plasma arc-gun.


Now to see how it does in battle!
(as in I will have to build another mech to fight it)

[Darkstorm]

Here's the end-shot of a little battle between it and a few figs.

[Maraxous]

Both are really good, imo the first one is the best. The twin shields and fire sword are ossum.

[Captain-Camper]

Look really good

I know, but it would have sucked in Brikwars combat. Oh well.

[stubby]

Why's that?

[AnnoyedZebra]

use the law of fudge

[Darkstorm]

The sword itself would have required saving up power, and the spear was even longer. The gun-shields would have been the only thing it could have used every turn, and after all, it was only 3" in size (and that was slightly fudged)
The cake would have to be made of fudge for it to work properly. I built this as a mech-fighting combat mech, and it would not have been able to do that if it can't use its main weapons every turn.

Most mechs in brikwars suck if you're a purist.

true enough. the base is made from two of the nexo knights' battle suits, along with a few other pieces. I found the sets on sale, and the prices were low enough that I ended up buying a bunch of lego for like 30% off (I was excited). I figured I would make a big mech out of the smaller tiny body suits.

Nah, it looked fine to me. 3" mech, two 3" swords, two 2" gun-shields, one 4" (?) spear; that gives you a lot of options. 6" of weapon power means that In a single turn you can use both swords, a sword and shield, the spear and shield, or both shields if you were feeling super defensive.

lol I could have made the sword 2 swords... *facepalm*

[Omega Prime]

More swords is almost always a good thing.

[Hiremas Alkerith]

To be honest when I stat most of my vehicles I just fudge it. If there are too many weapons for the size I just pretend it's bigger. It costs more so it kind of balances that out.
Is this cheating?
