Re: [GZG] Quick survey - 15mm SF preferences? (mechs)

Jeremy,

THAT is exactly what I've been occasionaly ranting about on TMP!  A line
of
15mm tall mechs that could be used for either mass mecha combat (with
2mm or
6mm figures) or as robots/droids for 15mm games.

I would make the mechs even "harder" looking, but a little less boxey -
use
the same armor slope modelling as WWII and modern AFV's.  Model a range
of
weapons from small caliber to large caliber cannons to missile packs. 
And
don't be afraid of anthropomorphic mechs!  There's only so much
variation
you can get from a chicken-walker, and it's a genre trope anyway.

Cheers,

Christopher
