Icarus II Concept Sketch
Added 2022-11-24 08:50:51 +0000 UTCBetcha no one was expecting this one! We have need for some odd mechs every once in a while, so here's a primitive mech, the Icarus II.
Redesigned by Bishop. For this one he'd taken some of my feedback on digital sketching and the results came out good. I didn't even meddle too much! Ok I may not be the best at gauging my own meddling.
Bishop tells me this is one is going into his pile of favorite 40ton mechs. Looking over several of the primitive mechs, their final evolution forms are quite effective, largely forgoing superfluous additions and bringing a focused set of weapons.
Lastly, thanks to everyone that has been able to stick it out supporting my page as we go into harder financial times. Each month you all help me not just pay the bills but get a little ahead (when combined with my income from CGL).
My request is that you guys take a look at Bishops page: patreon.com/BishopSteiner
He's been bleeding where I've held, and scraping by where I'm ahead.
He lets me first post here all his official sketches that he wouldn't be allowed to post himself.
Drop him a $2 pledge if it fits your financials, and you can watch all the... weird cow stuff he draws :P
Happy Thanks Giving ye Americans, and hope everyone around the globe is having a good start to their holiday season. I know it can be a lonely time for a lot of us (I live away from most of my family). Mechs are on the horizon!

Yep that's coming in the kickstarter.

2022-12-04 02:13:38 +0000 UTCI can't remember where I saw it, if I even saw it, but isn't the Chameleon also getting redone?

2022-12-03 17:46:55 +0000 UTCjust wanted to say thank you to all who jumped over and joined. And it was a lot of you.

2022-11-29 00:10:17 +0000 UTCthx mate. It's the unloved that I find most fun. I love me a Warhammer and a Marauder as much as the next guy... but the 40 tonners, for example, are a lot more interesting to me.

2022-11-29 00:05:21 +0000 UTCBishop's always doing a great job with "unloved" mechs, proving that they are in fact quite loved. Heading on over to subscribe!

2022-11-26 15:49:15 +0000 UTCIt would take Yeoman levels of art to truly shit the bed with mechs porn So yes, very pleasant.

2022-11-26 15:06:32 +0000 UTChopefully a pleasant one.

2022-11-25 03:33:55 +0000 UTCLike a clint but scarier haha.

2022-11-25 01:05:23 +0000 UTCNot sure if/where they're publishing it yet.

2022-11-25 01:02:21 +0000 UTCFWL, actually. Shockingly, lol.

2022-11-24 23:54:21 +0000 UTCThank you for the redesign. Bishop does great work! I would love to see a redesign of the woodsman among others.
Jeffery Smith
2022-11-24 22:10:06 +0000 UTCDefinitely a Davion design, then.

2022-11-24 22:03:07 +0000 UTCLooks really cool I think I played with this mech in Battletech Advanced mod. Basically like a primitive Clint right? And most of my family is across the water too but wife and child are enough to keep me busy cooking all day…

2022-11-24 21:10:17 +0000 UTCOoooh. Would be very cool to see some "Age of War" or "Primitives" packs leading up to some Jihad packs...

2022-11-24 19:35:06 +0000 UTCIndeed unexpected. Wondering where the kintaro is. My kurita opfor company needs one.
Swen Decker
2022-11-24 19:27:36 +0000 UTCInteresting design; is that an arm-mounted autocannon?
KaiserDunk
2022-11-24 18:48:08 +0000 UTCSo a redesign for a not Rec Guide product?
