Finally. A Gargoyle that does not look like a total abomination. The original reminded me of Frankenstein's Monster, and not in a good way.

Yup, original Gargoyle (along with Executioner) is the ugliest Omni in original 16. I like your design, but it think it should be more 'tanky' and beefier around the waist. Weapons assembly in arms is spot on.

I'm curious what ll'be Alex's take on them.

probably should be, I agree. I tried wider, and while more logical, lost the dynamic feel to the pose, so I decided to go a little more Summoner, and slim it down. Artistic license, lol.

Gargoyle immediately makes me think of the Clan equivalent of a Victor as in it being a very fast light assault mech, sans JJ. An easily rectified omission, however, whereas the Executioner is like a Highlander. Except heavier, faster, and far uglier.

yeah, would love to have Endo in it to be able to kick in some JJs!

With JJs, I would probably change the ER PPC out for LPL. Keep the SSRMS. Maybe add ECM instead of the 17 DHS.

What I would really love it to drop a 320XL in, instead, add MASC and then up arm it, along with the JJs. Basically, you free up 15 tons, before MASC and JJs. still would have another 7 or so, after.

The real pity is with the current implementation of LB-X, I am not sold on the usefulness of LB-5X ACs. Absolutely solid weapons with toggle ammos, pretty useful if they were just scatter but only scattered about 50-100 meters away from the target as opposed to as soon as they left the barrel, but how it is now.... I just do not see it. :\

I still hold out hope that one day the entire LB-X mechanism gets a total work over. Preferably with toggle ammos. I mean, that one ability to change currently selected ammo type on the fly mid game based on preloaded tons of ammo would open the way not just for proper LB-X implementation, but for Swarm and Thunder LRMs as well as Infero SRMs. Just seems like such a disservice.

The Fan Art section of the forums is truly a breathe of fresh air. Nice sketch!
