@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.

@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- because real world heavy airplanes never had tail gunners?;)
i like the design, although both sources of inspiration, Last Exile and BLAME! are painfully obvious in this monkey-mobile:D

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 ;-)

Wadda’ya mean? it isn’t real? ;-P

I love the Red Blok machine - I don’t own or play AT43 but it’s seriously pressuring my ‘new toy craving’ as the months go by.

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 ;-)

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?

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…
