Rhynoan Battle Mechs 01

Rhynoan Armored Fighting Mechs.

I thought I'd share a few of the newly revised mech designs.

Night Wind T-6 Fire Support Mech

Night Shadow T-6 Fire Support Mech

Short Overview:

The Night Shadow T-6 Fire Assault Mech was built for long to medium range attacks It carried great firepower, speed, at the cost of armor. One of the most distinctive characteristics is the use of (AHC) Adaptive Heuristic Camouflage. The surface is bonded with a substrate which both reads the landscape, displays a shifting pattern based on the current surroundings. The surface is linked to imaging software which both stores patterns and learns what pattern matches the situation best. This cuts the processing tree allowing faster response time. Armament consisted of four plasma cannons, one large pulse laser array and a mass-driver.

Armament consisted of two Long Range Missile Launchers, and three large pulse laser arrays.

Building the design around a larger fusion drive allowed the design team to create a winner.

The design was a good balance of firepower, speed, and armor, the larger platform allowed for a pilot and gunner on board and made for a more comfortable ride The crews loved the design because the addition of reactive armor increased chances for survival.

  1. Great work...will definitely be useful when the "ground troop inventory" on the Counsel Muster List item reaches the floor for discussion. Since the alliance of the Rhynoan Counsel is tentative but comfortable, All are (though not required) urgently compelled to volunteer their support for come what may. The three most immediate useful clauses are: ground, air and water. All these mechs and tanks need is origin assignment (do you want to tag them with country or ancient region of origin, since many are presumably pre-apocalypse?).

    Other things that would be awesome would be helicopters, air craft (non-orbital), and naval ships, etc.

    Again, excellent work.

  2. Thanks, they've been fun to draw. I've got all those vehicle types in work at the moment. I've got a wide range of vehicles researched and it is a matter of pounding them out. Eventually I will get some three views finished so we can work with Shapeway to do them as 3-d printed models.
