Looking at the artwork I can see this mech being a micro twister. Basically you won't want to twist all the way to one side when twisting because you'll expose the "nose" so I can see this being a 55t Crab that has more high mounts.

I do have to say as well that I don't think a 400xl or 395xl will ever be reasonable choices for a good build. Everyone would drop the engine down for sure.

Be on the lookout guys, Fed0t is working on new art for the Lightray.

well he will be much faster then me.... i have serious issues with the inital sketching... creating a whole 3d model from nothing is hard work.... with a good sketch not so much.

btw: used some more time in reshaping the torso... i want an aggressive looking kife-shaped torso... and well the issue was that my first model was to small. with 7m height only there was not enough room for pilot and form.

However based on the Bushwacker height of Mechcommander gold (13m) i did scale everything up (to 14.3m).. in the end i was able to reduce the length and width of the torso as well as the height of the "roof".



very angular body - more a kind of the hunchinator of notre-dam.... although the head reminds me of the Blood Reaper

Nice! Yeah you deserve major props for your efforts and it's coming together nicely.

BLAKEFREE ARE YOU CLANING ME?

There is a special place in the quarantine there you will get BSOD every 10minutes until your soul is reborn as computer virus.

so there i've finished the "general" look - i call it the sketching phase. I think the shape and look and feel is right. Aggressive but as ugly as the original.

Haha down with Blake!

Ohh but the model is coming together very nicely!

It may be an old poll but it's still worth showing your support! Vote for the Lightray!

That's kinda schizophrenic considering the Lightray is a WoB-exclusive.

Haha true. Down with Blake but I do want their sexy toys.

[Karl Streiger]

Sexy is a subjective perception, and as all of human doings prone to failure.
Blake is your saviour because cold logic dictates our path, a path that need to be walked no matter the costs.

The Lightray is just a step stone on this path, a step stone that is only necessary because humans are irational and evil by nature.

Btw: I have chosen a 80cm large pulse laser, 2x25cm er medium laser and the small laser has 15cm.
I put the missiles just for a test, to be fair those are LRMs from my Sturmfeuer, but it shows that the missile armed Lightrays are a no-go. There is not enough space for reloads.

I will work on the Lighray when I finished the work for the "Gestiefelte Kater" (the AC armed reaper style version of the Shreck)

Ohhh nice! That'll be super cool!

[TheArisen]

Well it might only be a background piece, this does have the Lightray in it.

Indeed! And not only that, the artworks also highlight the favourable geometry. This unit should be very effective in MWO.
