My 15mm Mecha Battles project is starting to come together.
After it sat on my shelf for months, I finally completed this Rebel Minis Earthforce HAMR Support Suit:
This one had just the slightest bit of conversion work before I painted. I ended up cutting the barrels off the included gatling guns... they worked well on the Earthforce aircraft, but I wanted something a little heavier on this mech. I looked at a few Combat Wombat brass barrels, but ended up using the barrels from some spare Rebel Titan HAMR support guns.
I think this mech works really well alongside my Ravenstar Studios Thunderfoot (and Rebel Titan Marines and Kremlin MANITOU suits). The HAMR is going to be the support option in a three-mecha platoon. Work has begun on the other two - they are going to use the more conventional arms and rifles off the Earthforce Recon HAMR sprue. That will give me two core combat units for my first mecha army: the platoon of HAMR suits, and the Thunderfoot - which is a mecha platoon in itself.
Cheers,
Chris
