Mech - Crest 6 AC Rocket Assasin

thingiverse

This is the Crest AC 6 Rocket Assassin, piloted by a Terrible Slayer. I've been wanting fun models to play Lancer with. I then set about building a model based on Crest. What would a Explosion happy pilot with more licenses be piloting for that Corp? This unit features a new leg type, hover legs served as the opposite of tank legs. Where tank legs are slow, cumbersome fortresses of armor capable of supporting heavy cannons, hover legs were light, agile platforms that allowed Armored Cores to move extremely rapidly. Hover legs, as can be inferred by their name, were essentially hovering platforms with built in boosters, allowing for more room to be used for other important equipment. An important feature of hover legs is that they are able to automatically float over water, a feature that is crucial for missions that involve being over water for long periods of time, whereas other leg types could result in the Mech sinking if the pilot is not careful. This AC is equipped without extensive lock on systems instead relying on exhaustive dead fire rockets. This mech speeds onto the scene quickly unloads it's payload and quickly leaves. It can out maneuver most missile systems and is a real threat to slower mechs which might not be able to target it should this assassin get close. This machine is under armored so a well placed sho t might severely debilitate this mech and it's explosive arsenal. This is likely the last of the Crest Corporation mechs I will make for a while. I feel like six is a good variety for a faction in a tabletop game. Will likely do Mirage Mechs and try some attempt at Lancer corps. Though it's been remade countless times I suspect the model still isn't perfect, feel free to improve / fix. Model includes a version with a flying base, and simple version without a base, and a version with a hole and a separate base for printing separately.
