Last week while working on my tiles shown elsewhere on this board, I inadvertently slipped in on a side project, like I often do.
A few hours of work later, this stompy fellow stood on my workbench:
Envisioned as a Nuclear-powered giant robot, he is armed with several sets of missiles as well as a rotary cannon.
The next day I managed to cobble together another one:
Armed with dual plasma cannons, this behemoth has less options in his arsenal, but is still a potent threat.
Here is the two side by side, I managed to keep them about the same size I was lucky to find, to it won’t look too weird when they go up against each other.
I have plans to make a few more GSR’s, and then have them fight it out using some as of yet undetermined rules. If you have any good ideas, let me know 🙂

Update:
The giant robots now have a not so shiny new paintjob:
Standing in for scale this time, it’s easier to appreciate the size of these guys.
While not 100% done, I have a few more on the way, and a super-heavy tank or two in the works..

So this weekend I tried out Mekatac for use with my giant robots.
Even though there was only two of them with no support for this first one, I think it worked out all right.
Big Boy (in yellow) defends this area and it’s generator against the interloper Firebug (in Khaki)
Firebug takes the first hit as the large missile hits him!
Attacking the generator, and scoring a hit.
Getting into knife-fighting range, Firebug manages to melt the rotary cannon and blow it’s magazines.
Both looking worse for wear, and with Big Boy having no ammo left for any of it’s functional launchers, Firebug managed to destroy the generator at last.With both robots savaged, I called it a draw even though the generator was destroyed, given that Firebug had a round or two left in him before the electrical fire that started a few rounds earlier would bring him down.

The next pair of mechs have been finished:
The pair of them, and a Zephyr infantry unit for scale.
Thanks to Stroezie who showed me this cool mech, this is my interpretation of the MORAV robot. I decided to keep some of the design elements, but I changed up some things, including but not limited to the shape and size of various elements and made a bigger shoulder cannon. Unnamed as of yet, he wears the colors of Zephyr, just in case he is needed in Horizon wars at some point.
Inspired by the Battletech Marauder and some pics I found floating around the internet, this one I’m particularly happy with.
I had a bit of an misadventure with this one, as I managed to drop it. Thanks to my darling wife however, it was soon fixed up again, albeit carring some new battle damage.More pics as usual, not the blog:http://lasersandbroadswords.blogspot.se/2017/02/another-set-of-giant-stompy-robots-and.html

Another day, and a what would it be without a big menacing robot? A day wasted, of course! 😉
I haven’t quite finished this one yet, but I thought I’d share the WiP pictures I have:
I’ve just managed to base-coat and paint some gun barrels so far, but this multi-armed giant is a dangerous close-in fighter. With 4 clawed arms as well as 4 rotary cannons, his reach is limited, but packs a real punch up close, ripping armor plating and firing point-blank into it’s foes.
I hope to finish him by the weekend, so there might be a throwdown with the other giants. I have a few new mech designs on the sculpting table, but rather more regular in size compared to these behemoths.
Some more info about what’s coming is on the blog: http://lasersandbroadswords.blogspot.se/2017/02/terrain-board-project-tile-no-5-all.html

The reason the last of the original 5 Giant Stompy Robots have been delayed can be explained by these guys that I have been working on:
A 3/6mm experiment, space battles in the spirit of Gundam/VOTOMS with a twist of Ma.K.
Not technically a mech at all, rather the beginnings of a bolo/Ogre-like supertank. Still pretty massive though 🙂
Some more traditional mechs as well, 2 humanoid designs to the left, and some battletech/combat walker style mechs to the right.While they are decidedly smaller than the other mechs I’ve shared here, they are still pretty stompy, allthough the experimental ones in the first picture is a bit less so and the second one will have threads rather than legs..

The fifth one is here and spoiling for a fight!
He came out quite menacing, and the claws and rotary cannons does little to dispell that notion. He’s a bit different from the others, but I like that he stands out from the rest!

After some time I managed to finish up this report, a 2 on 2 giant mecha fight:
Getting ready. Firebug and Warbot (on top) is teaming up against Dachô and Big Boy (on the bottom)
Warbot trades blows with Big Boy, both takes quite a beating.
Getting caught rebooting after a critical hit, Big Boy is in trouble..
Luckily Dachô manages to launch an attack into the back of Firebug, taking some heat off his ally.
Warbot is knocked down by a heavy hit, but Firebug pushes on to finish off the damaged Big Boy!
Firebug takes a few more hits as he draws the attention of both enemies, but manages to finish off Big Boy with a plasma cannon at point blank range.
Having finished off one enemy, Warbot and Firebug turn to finish off Dachô. After two blasts from Firebug at close range, Dachô decided to surrender rather than be destroyed.

A pair of mechs all done during the week:
The mechs, with a Zephyr unit for scale as ususal. I painted them up for the SADU (on the left) and Burke’s Iron Men (on the right).
A bigger mech inspired by the Battletech Marauder. Composite armor panels add extra protection to the main body, while the two dual barrel energy cannons slag enemy armor.
Staying in the walker-style of mech, the second mech is also a big one, but more of a hodge-podge of design ideas from all sorts of sources (Battletech being in there, of course!). With a missile launcher and a long-barreled energy cannon, it’s a versatile fighter.Full post on the blog, as usual: http://lasersandbroadswords.blogspot.se/2017/03/update-terrain-boards-wip-space-mechs.html
