Painted a Bushwacker inspired by the colors of a Eurocopter Tiger since I thought the angular cockpit sort of looks like an attack helicopter's. I also painted a large laser's blue glow inside the right arm weapon's barrel because this is supposed to be a custom variant with two (IS) large pulse lasers. Freehanding that tiny sword and sunburst (left lower leg) was a bit hard.
Painted a Coyotl and brought a custom variant to a casual game where it performed pretty well. Constructive criticism welcome.
Custom variant (omnipods swapped only, no armor, frame or engine mods):
Coyotl-E
Movement: 7/11/0; Engine: 280XL; standard myomer and gyro
Heat sinks: 12 (10 in engine, 2 in right arm)
Structure: endo steel (clan)
Armor: 8.5t ferro fibrous
Weapons:
RA 1 improved heavy large laser
RT 1 ER small laser
LA 2 ATM-3
LT 2 ATM-3 (all 4 ATM launchers share 3t ammo)
1702BV (BV2)
The idea is that the variant looks like the model and official art externally while being more BV efficient than the original (the Prime was more than 2000BV due to mounting too many long ranged weapons) and have some consistent chip damage from the 4 ATM-3s at all ranges (that can turn into serious crit seeking damage at close range on good to-hit mumbers).
I got inspired by a certain historical tank and painted this. Bonus points if anyone can see what it was based on. (Hint: name)
This is a simpler paint job than what I'm used to doing but I also have something else cooking right now.
