Fenrir (Fenris the Wolf)

By Lotus, in Dust Tactics

New name...new thread.

This was built from scratch using polystyrene, and a small bit of aluminum tubing and even some screen. Somewhere between 400-500 parts. I got a little carried away.

Per a comment from the other thread, I may consider adding canisters down the road...they could work in the back of each gun, possibly, in a way that won't look clunky. We'll see.

I should have added a soldier to the pic for scale. Next time.

maybe drums with ammo feeds?

He looks great. For the ammo though, you could maybe do it like a big ammo belt like those walkers from the Matrix, and have them connected to 2 big drum things on the back. This guy makes a flexible (I think) ammo belt

I made drums for it. Not as clunky as I was afraid it would be.

I left the clips on figuring it would have the option of 2 types of ammo.

ok thats dam cool. nice sense of movement

Here's a card I made for it. A friend suggested just using the FLAK values for the gun...works for me. I added some Gatling mechanics to the gun's SAs, drawbacks, mostly...if someone has thoughts on the stats different from the FLAK I'm all ears.

Also, does the cost sound right?

Nice. Very nice. Might have to try modelling some of my own ideas.

Thanks for posting this...some nice wind in the sails. I'll have to pop over there and say hi.

I'll add my adulations here, wow. This is the sort of open art forum stuff I need to get me on my next project. Now I'm on the search for easily gotten gatling guns.

Maybe you could ignore ammo magazines and make the thing a mobile multiple rocket launcher. Kind of multi-panzerschreck or multi-fliegerfaust ( http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp?efpag=1&efid=196&efcid=1&efidt=532272 ). That would ease the lack of a stronger looking support. The tubes are too big as to be a chain gun and the gearbox, or whatever it is called, maybe should be bigger. Rockets would not need that. Just drill a hole in the lower part of the firing assemble or something like that and make a nice new card for that...

Other than that, it's a very nice vehicle that one you built! Congratulations!!!!
