Hetzer Concept Sketch
Added 2022-11-11 11:31:32 +0000 UTCWho was waiting for this one? The Hetzer is here.
This was one of the first Rec Guide vehicle requests sent my way, and a welcome one. The cute meme tank deserves a modern look so that it can join its Urbie brother in city domination.
I immediately knew I wanted to give it huge wheels, though my outright intent to make this look like an assault dune buggy was shot down. I'd initially had the wheels unarmored for more turn radius and suspension range, which also kept the armor silhouette tight. But alas, not to be.
I'm usually against CGL eternally throwing extras into our kickstarters, but for this one's sake I'd be happy to see another vee force pack added.
Who wants Hetzer swarms?

Well now this is interesting. I tend to have a low opinion of the Hetzer but this is a nice update.

2022-11-21 02:42:51 +0000 UTCI rarely get to decide what's being picked. It's definitely one a few people would enjoy, but it's probably got some low odds attached to it.

2022-11-14 09:51:38 +0000 UTCGood stuff. It's great that you're filling out some of the ugly, mundane militia gear like this. Speaking of....any chance of a redone STC-2C Striker? That model was UGLY and appeared to have had some bad sculpting and the Awesome's predecessor deserved better.....plus it's in TRO 3058 and you seem to be pulling designs from there.

2022-11-14 05:59:17 +0000 UTCIt's adorable - feels like it could be the UrbanMech of Battletech ground vehicles. Maybe a little busy, though? We need our blank spaces! I hope you guys rotate the wheels so they don't all align on your tanks and wheeled vehicles.

2022-11-12 18:42:10 +0000 UTCGotta keep those feet cool! But yeah, good point. I wonder if it was inspired by the HEMTT, which doesn't have a big gun kicking up dust in front of it right when it's time to scoot.

2022-11-12 18:38:42 +0000 UTCDefinitely makes it look cooler than the original. Kind of like taking a Rommel turret and sticking wheels on it.

2022-11-11 19:57:38 +0000 UTCIt looks cool but I don’t know about that radiator vent in the lower glacis infront of the driver ha

2022-11-11 17:09:19 +0000 UTCGIVE THIS TO MEEEEE!!!!! Gonna roll heavy on this one. Maybe even some old school "California Love" by Dre and Tu Poc in the background.

2022-11-11 16:56:17 +0000 UTCThe bastard child of the original Hetzer and a dune buggy! I'll take 12!

2022-11-11 15:16:05 +0000 UTCAww yeah ! Hope this one makes it into the KS, either in another vee pack or as a Salvage Box (Urbie-style).

2022-11-11 14:55:19 +0000 UTCOooh, let's get a HAG variant too. You know, for that one batshit Hell's Horses Iota Galaxy warrior who is just sick of people's shit.

2022-11-11 14:54:37 +0000 UTCYeeeees, my beautiful baby tonk. Getting these as minis would fit perfectly with a... very meme-y force I've been planning for some time, so absolutely want it as a stretch goal. That aside, these, plus some Scorpions and the Bulldogs we saw earlier would be fantastic minis for a second-line garrison/planetary militia conventional company, so I'm quite happy with the RecGuide choices so far.
