note: cylindrical doodad next to the mech is a pilot in this scale

i think of these dark grey guys as some kind of mercenaries, with a bit of a medieval and ww1 british steampunk vibe, but the designs are inherently a bit open to interpretation at the 3-plate fig scale

  • some 3-plate-fig scale people. at this scale, designs are a bit more impressionistic, and different shapes can be interpreted in various ways, such as different clothes, body shapes, armor, androids, etc.

  • some smaller mechs/power armor. these guys and the similar light grey ones from the earlier post are loosely inspired by the larger power armors/smaller mechs from Brigador, with tank-like torso/hulls with hatches on top, but with arms. the one on the right here is up-armored. these things are probably about as maneuverable as a man with a heavy backpack, but more sturdy and better able to aim. the hatch being on the top means you won’t get trapped if the mech falls on its face or ass, and the crew compartment could comfortably fit probably 2 people with the rest of the torso taken up by fuel/engine/etc. Could be deployed with 1 pilot and supplies but i would want a radio/electonic warfare/drone operator personally.

  • an armored hover-car with a multi-barrelled turret. note the slat armor (cope-cages) on the roof.

  • an armed MRAP style cargo hover-truck and a missile artillery carrying variant. more small multi-barrelled turrets (probably remote-operated from the interior), more rooftop cope-cages (it isn’t stupid if it works)

  • a kind of a light hover-tank that carries a large hull-mounted cannon. aiming can be accomplished with hover controls, aided by the length of the lower hull surface and the large rear engine. has another small multi-barrel turret for defense against infantry and drones. probably not much room for more than 2 guys in this thing accounting for the cannon and the rear engine. note the hatch in front of the multi-barrel turret.

  • a medium sized mech, with a cute lil backpack lookin thing, a big ol’ revolver, and a big ol’ whackin’ stick for melee. inspired somewhat by front mission and those wide british ww1 helmets. honestly not super well armed looking, but it looks sturdy/armored. who knows how many dudes and/or cargo you could fit, but i’d be surprised if it needed a crew of more than 2 at max, with a pilot and a radio/drone/electronic warfare systems operator. similar to the light grey ones from the previous post with the shields and bazookas, but without the cannon heads to maintain the ww1 helmet loot.

  • a big ol’ classic hovertank. it’s got a big thruster in the back, enhanced hover-dishes to bear the weight, a heat sink and/or shell ejection hatch on the side of the tank, and a hull mounted frontally-fixed minigun and another hull mounted cannon with pitch maneuverability as well for indirect fire. the only thing it really lacks is a missile launcher, the light grey guys love putting one of those on everything but these dark grey guys prefer simpler munitions it seems.

  • a larger sized mech, with a big ol’ axe/halberd in one hand and a big ol’ cannon in the other. complete with a helmet for its ‘head’ and a chest-bag for whatever useful junk a mech crew could need. notice how the hatches and crew compartment are in the back away from the head, the hatch presumably has standard tank periscopes or equivalent, while the head is a remote camera system. this things crew compartment could probably fit about 4 dudes, or less with more equipment stored. you would want at least 1 pilot and a radio/etc. operator imo.

    • another larger mech, but less bulky. has a cannon and a big ol’ choppy sword in its hands, and a multi-barrel turret on top of its hull. the crew compartment is on top toward the back, with the engine at the front of the torsohull and a bulbous camera pod on the front.

    • a heavily armored and armed VTOL aerial attack craft, not much more to say. main weaponry are big honkin’ cannons under the wings (these guys are too low-tech or direct in their approach for missiles i guess), but has smaller machineguns and/or lasers on the front.

    • BUT WAIT, THERE’S ORANGE?!? a huge cargo/utility truck. can carry those huge crates or one of its own huge wheels. not super armored, with a glass frontal viewport and side windows (this one has them rolled down), but has some armor on the top and the access hatch in case of top-attack weaponry.

    -and finally, some buldings and hut/bunkers and a big shot-up wall/fence, with some dudes to liven things up.

    hopefully this amount of images doesn’t crash the site, i broke the post into 2 just in case
