Next Up On The Encounter Roster For Lancer Is The Hive. Generating Swarms Of Robot Bees To Bite Mechs

Next up on the encounter roster for Lancer is the Hive. Generating swarms of robot bees to bite mechs is a cool way to kill people, I guess. I think I prefer more straightforward methods, though, like lasers and punching

A little Art vs Artist to end the year. I'm pretty happy with how much I got done this year, and at how far I've managed to come. I've been helping a friend get started with miniature painting, and finding some of the old Starship Troopers minis I painted almost 15 years ago has really put into perspective how much experience I really have at this point.

I wanted to emphasize the dangerousness and explosiveitude of carrying around enough flamethrower fuel to run a mech sized one so I went with industrial warning decals. This one ain't a free model, it's from Papsikels

So I've spent the last month or so getting a little too into Lancer, I could rant about how amazing it is but just go check it out if you're not familiar. Anyways I'm making some of the NPC mechs, mainly out of free 3d print files I found online. Here's my first Assault mech, the generic shooty one
