Dragonfire Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Location: F10 Arium Major Tags: Exploration, Ground Vehicle Mission Log: Entry 19 ~ Determined to avenge Agent Sharpe, we doubled our speed, using a Deathstriker exo-suit for these purposes. It wasn't long before we came across an abandoned Octan speeder - and its occupants, who were currently in the process of being dragged off, screaming, by three oddly garbed figures.... We jumped into action. Octan may not be our best friends right now, but we couldn't just stand by and do nothing. While Ekira took the flank, I set the Deathstriker's mounted guns and handcannons blazing. The figure at the back toppled over with a cry, but the other two managed to escape with the Octan employees... Ekira knelt to check the figure's pulse, and found it to be dead, instantly killed by my shot. But when he turned the prone body over, we were horrified. It was physically identical to our missing mutant - but its garb and strange, curved sword showed us clearly that this was not the same creature. Could there be... more of them? As we considered the options, we received a transmission from Agent Kytes. He explained that he had managed to gather reinforcements and was on his way when he saw an alien craft leaving Arium Major, headed for one of the nearby planets. We all agreed that this craft likely contained both our mutant and the two unknown figures who had abducted the Octan employees. The hunt was on!

Kai NRG Posted February 1, 2016 Very nice Kawa mech! I really like the four arms! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isundir Posted February 1, 2016 Great job on the Mech, definitely in my opinion improved in comparison to the last one. I've been thinking and given that you don't have enough parts to make a more detailed landscape, have you considered making more detailed 'tiles/patches' instead of a base, I've only seen this done a few times but some builders instead of making a huge base for their build make smaller 'tiles' or little patches of ground if you will to showcase minifigs and vehicles and even buildings in a similar vain to miniature war games were the miniature is on a small base. The best example of what I mean is the CHRONO Fantasy Series by The Brick Time Team or something along those lines, if you can find pictures of it they had this huge display in Germany but instead of a massive display base everything was on small patches of land.

Thanks I decided to use a baseplate after I learned that the size of my previous builds was affecting their score. But that's a good idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpacerSteve Posted February 1, 2016 Very cool. Are the aliens the same ones that are in Epsilon Eta's build? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpsilonEta Posted February 1, 2016 It's a cool mech and the build look better with some open space. I don't know if you did something with the lights or if the larger scene give less shadows but the photos look better then last week. Very cool. Are the aliens the same ones that are in Epsilon Eta's build? No, he is hunting an escaped mutant (who seam to be contagious) My aliens are much older. You'll see later this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonfire Posted February 1, 2016 Very cool. Are the aliens the same ones that are in Epsilon Eta's build? Thanks, and no, they're not.

Thanks I moved the desk lamp position, seems to have helped... No, he is hunting an escaped mutant (who seam to be contagious) My aliens are much older. You'll see later this week That's right (although it's not the escaped mutant who's contagious ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodiziorobs Posted February 2, 2016 I like your mech quite a bit! The combination of the arms is probably what does it for me, although I also think you used the color really well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
