All of the Red Block walkers sing sweet songs of love to me! I don’t even play AT-43 and I already own a couple :) On the other hand that King Mamoth looks like it was designed by monkeys… oh wait a sec… |

Nice walker. ‘King Mammoth looks nice but strangely unfunctional - backwards facing guns, empty “co pilot” seat, whoppingly unbalanced gun on one side. Its nicely styled, but just looks completely impractical! Who can fathom the brain of a gorilla eh? |

The empty seats are supposed to be filled in the final model - as for the other points, I agree but it’s worth bearing in mind that we’re trying to discuss how realistic an anti-grav vehicle for a race of space gorillas is ;-) |

Osbad- because real world heavy airplanes never had tail gunners?;) |

@p-ko: But these are ground-attack craft/skimmers, and the rear-facing guns are meant to engage troops on the ground, not incoming fighters. They are not really aircraft as such. I’m not hyperventilating over this, they are nice models, I just can’t get my head around any sort of logic for them. Although the sculpting and painting is nice. I played a game last night against my mate’s new Karmans and the Easy Trike is an awesome model. I’m sure this one will be awesome too, I just can’t force its equipment into any sort of “logic” as even though this is a fantasy game, it’s still supposed to comply with the real world’s laws of physics… :s |

@Osbad: As a note, the rear guns on the King Mammoth are flame throwers, so arcing fire with them would make some sense by the laws of physics. |
