Here are some nice pics that show the model to scale. It’s BIG. It has a commander in a Tau suit nestled inside the cockpit as well, and he is removable (mostly just for painting. . . he’s in a static pose).
The model is posed in “leap/flight/jetpack” mode, and has a brass rod for elevation. I covered up the base since that is unfinished and not really important for the competition.
We do have both twin mega railgun and mega railgun+mega burst cannon options, with mega-missiles as well, so we have some flexibility in armament.
It has made a few appearances in apocalypse games before it was finished, and we were running it as a counts-as warhound with gatling blaster and turbolaser destructor, and the turbojets counting as the warhound bounding leap.
Check out the rest of the pics below. Ill try to have another entry posted up shortly for everyone to checkout.
