SmilingNid has been following in their father's footsteps with another Atlas. The bronze Atlas was painted by their father, and the modern one by them more than a decade later:

To the mad motherfucker who looked at a Ryoken B, with it's UAC20, six clan medium lasers, and terrifying mobility, and thought yes, this is the ideal mech for a 0/0 pilot, when sticking Kai in it at the Great Refusal. This wild bastard clearly was planning on killing god for fun. I salute you.

Do you think with the new Battletech core rules changes you'll be bringing more ammo for your UACs? Like, now that there's no chance of taking the gun out of the game, you bet your sweet ass I'm doubletapping every turn.

The Champion and the Shootist are pretty weird, but in different ways. The Champion for being "I wanna be a LAM!" so hard, but cannonically failing at it, and the Shootist for being the boxiest of boxes with a silly dick laser.

Battletech's art style has changed a lot over the years, hasn't it? I have a fondness for the weird old stuff though, so show us your scrungly little guys. The weirdos, with odd proportions and baffling art, and sculpts that are best described as a 'first draft.' Let's see what you've got.
