Here's a bit of a different one.  SM1 Tank Destroyer hovercraft.

As CGL dives deeper into the new ilClan era, we can't just rest on revamped succession wars units. Dark Age units need some love too sometimes.
Earlier I was given a more cinematic/rendering grade model that I spruced up a little for artist use.

More recently it was decided to give it a more substantial go over, but not a complete redo. So I took that 3D model and drew over it, a big time saver. I think merely changing the cockpit glass shape alone does wonder for the design. Other changes like beefing up the machineguns from simple browning types, a bigger hover skirt, and giving the AC20 more mechanical detailing helps round it out.

Hope it looks meaner now. Enjoy!

The machine gun is the part that makes the biggest difference to me. The small MWO style machine guns are both very hard to notice on anything of scale, as well as feel completely unthreatening. These fix both of those issues admirably.

Additional: Jupiter and Legionnaire redo when? ;)

Oh rad, totally going to make Calamity Kell's version of this if it ever becomes a physical model. : )

The canopy glass change really makes the design pop way more. I love the revamped illustration!

Well this is interesting. I admit I never expected to see this guy. But I still wanna see the Drillson Heavy Hover Tank. Also like how this guy seems a wee bit slicker than the original.

Wrong timeline for me but it looks way better than the old one. At first look i thought the mgs where an ammo belt like the legionaire had. Kinda sad its not.

I have to ask : any link with the "interesting" pack with the Loki MkII ?

Ryan Ulick

so is the SM5 going the further developed or stay a one off?

Haha. I hate the mechs/vees that have been given external feeds. Feels really antithetical to the setting to me.

One of my preferred Dark Age vehicles great to see it getting some love.
