Help me Build... Cumberlands Missilers
« on: April 15, 2013, 11:14:38 AM »
I am developing a new Miniatures Project based on my love of total chaos and the flavorful Mercenary units involved therein.  the one unit I fell in love with immediatly was Cumberlands Missilers, mostly due to total devotion to a single archtype of weaponry. 

So the first thing I am doing is developing a "long list." of mechs and vehicles that use missile weapons as their primary armament.  and that is where I need your help

I do have three limitations

1) NO OMNIMECHS

2) CLAN TECH IS ONLY PERMITTED IF THE CHASSIS, ARMOR, AND INTERNAL STRUCTURE ARE STANDARD (I.E. Arbalest)

3) VARIANTS OF MECHS THAT NORMALLY DO NOT USE MISSILES WILL ONLY BE CONSIDERED IF THERE IS A PRIMARY ART SOURCE DEPICTING SAID VAIRANT (I.E. the MML equipped hatchetman, or the rocket launcher locust)

Sounds like my Lyran Grenadiers whose Mech contingents were made up of missile boats exclusively like Commandos (25 tons), Cobras (45 tons), Trebuchets (50 tons), Dervishes (55 tons), Griffins (55 tons), Quickdraws (60 tons), Bombardiers (65 tons), Crusaders (65 tons), Archers (70 tons), Salamanders (80 tons), Battlemasters (85 tons), Longbow (85 tons), and Stalkers (85 tons).

all classics and I have most of those written down (save for the battlemaster)

I am also looking for Aerospace Fighters, and ground vehicles.

Battle Armor I am using include Hauberk, Grenadier, Grey Death Strike, Fenrir SRM, Purifier NARC, Kage TAG, Fah Shih TAG, and Kanazuchi

Condition 3, there is no Primary Art Source depicting the AWS 8R or similar variants.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

doubtful, Various sized Missile Launchers from the same manufacture use the same ammunition.  Cumberlands Missilers are also described as being excellent at the repair, maintiance, and instalation of such weapons, so I am sure they would make efforts to homogenize launcher manufactuers as much as possible.

Well JP my unit was Lyran so I attempted to go as native as possible with designs. Note the Javelin, Apollo, Catapult and Viking are missing but mercs will have a wider access I imagine.

I never considered any other unit than Mechs but will be interested to see those recommendation. Of course there is the ubiqitious LRM and SRM Carriers.
