Description
A few mech sketches for a science-fantasy story that takes place thousands of years in the future on a partially terraformed Mars. They are thought to have been created by the extinct aliens that inhabited the planet before Humans came there. Note the little stick figures used for size comparison. Or in the Ganesh & Deimos Altar's case, more like dots.

Warfinch- An ultralight type that can fold up its legs & turn into an aircraft. Armed only with a small beam gun, but it can be retrofitted with bombs & missile racks.

Schandmantel(Infamous Cloak)- A light model built for speed & agility. Typically used to outmanouver larger vehicles & bring them down with precision strikes. Because of its small size & great manouverability it is also a valued support unit in urban warfare. Armed with a small beam gun & two tentacles that can be electrified, superheated or magnetized.

Kolbi Tower Doll- Discovered in a system of caverns beneath the remote farming town of Kolbi, only one of this model is known to exist & numerous factions are eager to control its power. Its "head" is actually a beam cannon of unheard-of power, capable of destroying entires cities in a matter of minutes.

Kappa- An amphibious model that can swim through the canals & underground oceans of the terraformed Mars with ease. A favourite vehicle of river pirates.

Ganesh- A mammoth walking fortress bristling with weaponry. Although it can be operated by a single pilot it requires several gunners to bring its full destructive power to bear. A single Ganesh can turn the tide of any battle, but its size & lack of speed make it an attractive target for any smaller, faster Tripods like the Schandmantel that can manage to avoids its barrages of fire. Only a fool would bring one into the field without an escort.

Deimos Altar- A tripod fielded by the mysterious "Order of Sacred Device" dedicated to uncovering the lost histories of Earth & Mars. It has only one weapon, a prism-like device on a stalk on top of its body, but what a weapon it is. Using a "chorus" of gifted individuals housed inside, the Altar can focus their mental energy through the device into a power beam that can reach for thousands of miles & burn through anything it touches. The Altar is also protected by a force field. Make no mistake, this machine is undoubtedly one of the most difficult foes a Tripod Knight could ever face.
