Death Stalker Battlemech
« on: August 29, 2018, 10:06:27 AM »
So I was going through the Mechs that came out post TRO 3058 which is the last one that I actively paid attention to and I came to the conclusion I hate the Fire Scorpion both its appearance and it design which makes no sense for a Clan that has a preference for laser weapons. So I concluded I could do better. I wanted to include a Targeting Computer but for a second line mech and the tonnage I was looking to have I couldn't include it in the design.

So here is my take on a proper totem Mech for Goliath Scorpion with picture inspiration attached.

I heard MasterArminas is a big fan of the Clan but if anyone would like to write up a fluff piece for it please feel free. I don't know enough about the Clan I think to do it justice.

Well the art is certainly interesting enough and not only is masterarminas a Goliath Scorpion fan but he has designed several Deathstalkers as well.  ;)

It is and could be an interesting fluff plus.
