Mecha - Lancer NPC - Operator Artillery

thingiverse

Have been making models for a Lancer RPG campaign and the type of mass produced units a gm might throw at a player. I was thinking this model would be a great Operator Artillery NPC for the Lancer RPG. The Lancer RPG's Operator, is a size 1 unit. It uses a Sniper Plasma Rifle, as well as long range Missiles. It's unique in that it has Teleporter parts attached to it's hand and shoulders. It also has self destructer with a large and dangerous explosive on the back of the mech's core. It's a very mobile, teleporting artillery that consistently deal high damage and I wanted that to be reflected in this mech design. I used thinner parts for the arms and legs to lower the mech's weight and give it a speedier outline. Figuring out the leg position and pose for this one was fun. Like to think they have a target and their next teleport location set. I've not tried printing this one, but have oriented the baseless pieces with netfabb for what would appear to be the least fuss for supports. I also have models with the bases attached if you want to roll the dice and try and remove supports from underneath the mech. The thin arms and legs might be a problem to print. Hope this helps players deploy some operator mechs in a Lancer RPG. Have a wonderful day. Feel free to work on your own version of a operator too!
