Balius Battle Strider

myminifactory

Striders make up a small but vital arm of the Krevarian military - a highly mobile walker corps specializing in assaulting terrain and fortifications difficult or impassable to traditional armor. A strider is full of advanced systems to ensure agility and balance, but the core of these systems is the Gravity Engine - a complex machine that can assist the walker in navigating soft or complex terrain or generate graviton lensing fields that are capable of deflecting incoming attacks. The Balius is a standard-type main battle strider, well armed and protected. Its modular nature allows for easy adjustment to different mission profiles or crew preferences. —---------------------------------------------- Update 24 Sept 2023 - fixed an error in the legs print list, minor support tweaks on the assembled foot and forward hull parts. (these did not cause failures in my test prints, but users noticed some potential issues).Update 7 July 2024 - fixed some support overlaps with the front torso. The weapons and some articulations are designed for magnetization. You’ll want 3mm (⅛”) and 6mm (¼”) rare earth magnets to fully take advantage of the modular construction. Legs include pre-posed versions as well as separated parts so you can choose between customization or ease of assembly. The Balius kit includes presupported options, and is shown on a 170mm oval base. Armaments included: Gun Arm (Repeating Long Gun, Triple Laser Cannon, Dual Fusion Cannon, Heavy Rotary Cannon) Manipulator Arm (Rail Driver, Ripper Blade) Chin Turret (Light Machinegun, Fusion Gun, Heavy Flamethrower, Pulse Laser, Rotor Cannon) Hull Mount (Light Machinegun, Fusion Gun, Heavy Flamethrower) Upper Turret (Twin Autocannon, Missile Battery, Rocket Pods)   If you feel inclined to support my work (and get access to previews of upcoming work and voting rights to future model options), you may do so here: patreon.com/nfeyma
