Here's another for the Rec Guides, the Drillson.

This is another vee (particularly with hovers) where I felt the old design shapes were so generic and it's one I rarely hear people talk about, that blowing it up big time was warranted so that it can be a more memorable design going into the future.

I changed the main form from square soap to hexagonal soap, and gave it a central hull shape that was a simple wedge.
Then, rather than try to make it some elegant mixture of forms, I took the idea of its few asymmetrical elements and deliberatly built it out of bolt on modules, as if it was designed purely for task rather than looks.
Built out commanders box, the existing bolt on LRM launcher, side engine intakes. Nothing goes too far into changing the core wedge.

Who enjoys a fast moving Bulldog?

Somehow i imagine like 15 people standing in the „bridge“ to steer a colossal hovercraft.

And i love the overall asthetics. Remarkable front check, air intakes check, wings check. <3

Reminds me a lot of current versions of the M2 Bradly. Asymmetric with stuff sticking out all over the place. Before it looked like Speed Stick deodorant.

Definitely an improvement on the original. I really appreciate that the turrets don't hit each other anymore.

This is a much better bar of soap!

Really liking the redesigns for the vehicles. I was wondering if there was any interest in redesigning the real movers of BT...The Dropships and Jumpships? I hope to see some more awesome self-propelled artillery units as well, and maybe some more battle armored infantry designs.

Probably gonna happen at some point. Before the first KS we were tinkering with a mech scale Leopard but it was too complicated at the time. Personally I'd rather do map scale. Cheaper, more usable in games, way easier to make.

Oh that would've been crazy, but fun to have a mech scale leopard. Would be satisfied with new line art for some of the older DSs, and a compilation of tye ilClan rec guides. Have a great day

David

I like it. reminds me of one of those old soviet amphibious landing hovercraft

Okay this is one I was asking for so what to say about it.... hmmmm? Well I won't lie it's not pretty or elegant, which you stated you were going for. It looks solid, which you would expect for something built by Lyrans.

Tyler Erickson

Speaking of Bulldogs, do you plan to make one?

Bulldog's already been redone, you can find the new TRO image in IlClan Rec. Guide 25, or a smaller version of the new TRO image on the Bulldog's page on Sarna, as Volume 25 has passed the moratorium period
