Here is my submission for the Bushwacker contest. I call it the Coyote Trickster.

Did you say Peyote Tripster?

Sweet! Though as you discovered the arms don't exist in quad designs.

As to how is it based off a wacker?



Just the cockpit and torso assembly of this art puts it pretty close. Even though BT has notoriously inconsistent art. I mean, there are at least 3 designs in BT alone of the Bushwacker.

Oh, so THIS is the "edit" you were talking about in the match, hahaha

Bingo! Although I still think quadmechs are master-race. See? You can agree with some Clansmen.

Almost as much love as I have for that tasty rear torso armor.

LOL, i just looked up the barghest on Sarna:

HOW is this based of a Bushwacker??? LOL
This Mech looks like a 200tonner using a naval Class 20 AC and 2 Naval PPCs xD

Some of the wost writing and art for a TRO IMO. It was made when the FASA art director went crazy with oversize gun bores.

The mech it self is suppose to have a thin profile for a heavy like the Bushwacker but it doest match the art and mini doesn't even try to match it.

That paintjob looks like it'd fit in with the weird and wacky paintjobs of Camacho's Caballeros (seriously, I seem to remember one of their pilots' mechs being describes as having been covered in dolls' heads or something like that). I like it.

Kinda reworked the classic look for my entry...

Oh my.

That is just sexy.

Now this is really impressive!
(most people won't realize the amount of work here)

Many thanks Odanan. It was a lot of fun working with Alex's amazing concept.

The only thing I would change is to replace the nose autocannon by the stock machinegun.

If inspiration strikes, feel free to beautify the Stinger I was working on


Note - originally, I had a smaller head - but then the cockpit would have been ridiculously tight for a mech warrior to fit in there. Hence the bigger head. I'd also thought about increasing the size of the underslung MGs. Below is a rough guesstimate of the size.

Well, the Stinger was actually _noted_ for having a ridiculously cramped cockpit. So cramped, in fact, that some bigger mechwarriors might have trouble fitting into it, or might not even be able to fit in there at all, so that would actually be all according to lore.

I love the look of it, by the way.

[Justin Kase]

Thank you!

The older head was almost half width - see bellow - but even with the larger head, it is cramped

Wanted to try my hand at one of these!

Loving the striped arm and the striping (along with the red slashes). Smoke looks mighty nice - you make the smoke effect yourself?

Love the muted hex backdrop too!

Heh, thanks man. The smoke was just some photomanipulation and a couple brushes...I think the trick is playing with opacity as you layer it in. I was working from a repaint by Odanan (many props btw. Odanan's work is on point!) so I may have inherited the leg and Mech's left-side stripes from his paint...I'd have to go back and check the original release art. What I did was saturate the color, making the whole thing grey, then painted it with color. So if he put in those stripes, they might have still appeared in the gray version and I just painted over.

Gotta have the hexes! The true callback. xD
