Here's an initial concept for a Marauder miniature. I took this one pretty far before it was decided some fundamental changes were needed that I didn't thing would force well into this existing look, so I started fresh.

I still miss that side mount gun :(

Gotta say I agree with you, the side mount gun sets this design apart from the marauder's design origin in a good way.

Gotta disagree on the side mount gun. I know it doesn´t match the stats, but the central gun is so crucial IMO to the iconic Marauder silhouette, that it always strongly rubs me the wrong way when i see him with a side mounted one.

True, if someone is attached to the old Glaug silhouette it is a very iconic piece of the design. It's a non issue legally now, but previously it was a strong option for changes in that realm too. I mostly think the side mount is a lot more sturdy looking, not to mention matching the record sheets better.

Not to mention that with the side mount you have the option to kitbash a little and put another on the other side.. which ok I grant you is a big departure that purists will object to, but looks absolutely sick..

It also makes sure the side pods are big enough to handle other weapons like SRM pods, leading to many canon loadout options.

Yeah I think you should've kept the side autocannon mount. It separates it even more from the old Zentradi Officers Pod look. But that's just me.

I like this. It gives the impression of being lighter than the final version of the Marauder. Maybe a 55 ton variant a la the Mad Cat III?
