[SG] New pictures

Hi everyone,

I've just scanned & posted six new photos - these're all of one of Dream
Pod 9's new Heavy Gear "Mammoth Assault Strider", which is a very cool
model - big semi-hard-science walker thing.

I figure these are some of the best minis pics I've ever taken - I'm
going to scan & post more pictures from the same roll later this week.

Enjoy,

I'm going to take refuge in what I told Tom Barclay a little while ago: "My
camo scheme is plain grey. Yes, including the grey face paint. And the grey
contact lenses too..."

Yeesh. I shudder to think what he's going to do on an SGII battlefield.... My
one suggestion would be that, because of his height, you use the DSII rules
and treat his as being one range band closer when he's being shot at.

(You know, he could be the centerpoint of a killer FMA scenario, too. Mammoth
and a squad of troops, against a larger enemy force with plenty of ruined
buildings to hide in. Could be a lot of fun, especially with a ref to
implement hidden movement.)

I have the 1/87th scale version of this figure, and if/when I ever paint
up my Ral Partha 25mm Battletroops, I'll paint him up to match. I have a
whole bunsh of the 1/72nd scale models that Revell put out for Robotech,
too -- if I ever *do* get them assembled and painted, it's going to be
one hell of a battleforce.

I strongly advise that no one holds their breath waiting for this to happen.

I should have some pics from GZG-WCC1 up tomorrow.  Keep trying
http://myweb.veriomail.com/mwbrown/gzgwcc1.htm, should be there by 10:00
PDT

More Primered Legions! At least you've got PSBish justification for it!

I've still got more unpainted/primered stuff than painted...

I'll scan some more of the recent photos this week - more SG2 vehicles
and figures.

A good point - with Armour 3 it'll still be tough, but that is a fairly
tall target. It only looks squat becuase it's so *wide*! (The figure is
just less than 2" tall at tallest; the shoulder-parts are a bit wider
than that.)

A very excellent idea. Given that I want to play around with hidden movement
rules anyway, for another evil idea I'm working on, that sounds like a
scenario I'm going to work on.

The old 1/87th Mammoth? Damn, that thing must be huge! My new one
(1/144?)
is big enough. I'd really like to see pics of that thing - just how big
is it?

> I strongly advise that no one holds their breath waiting for this to

Fair enough... I've seen some of the old 1/72 Robotech stuff, too, and
it looked good. Didn't there used to be Battletech larger plastic models as
well, at some point?

smaller than you'd suspect actually, the old one was undersized, one of the
reasons for the scale change, so that making things that big could be done in
proper scale.
