Description
Another Battletech commission. You see I do a lot of these

The Concussion looks like an attempt to scale down a Fafnir. And it seems like a cheap attempt at that.

They're the same weight.

I thought the Fafnir was a 100 ton fata**...

So it's basically a better looking Fafnir? I can dig it.

The fafnir mini is pretty bad, but I like the MW4 version.

Yeah, MW4 version is better, but this takes the cake.

Great piece. Β Like they way you get separation between the textures and materials.

I'd spend days without sleep, up all night playing MW 3 with my cos... I'd get up and go to work with only a few hours of sleep that weekend to go to work running chainsaw, brushing, slashing,Β and limbing. I remember on the way home, the first wave of mechs as they crested the hill...
Good times, man. Good times.

Practice makes perfect.

Shouldn't the gauss rifles have a coil for a contrail, not just a straight line?

Just because MW4 did that silly effect doesn't mean I'll do it

It's not the size, it's what you do with it.

Like to have seen the LRM carriers spill their guts - but heyy, its another grand piece!! I can feel the weight of the Concussion!

The scene was already getting pretty alpha strikey (concussion alpha was requested) so I was a bit weary. Glad you like it.

Your work never disappoints - just inspires
Looks a tough job to do too
Well done - well pulled off

Hey man, you did a great job. Technically, the Concussion in it's unaltered state isn't a Battletech mech. I designed it just for fun many years ago and then Jon Walker bought the rights to it for his Rogue Legion line. He moved over to Reaper a few years later and implemented the Concussion into their CAV line. And I know you know, but for the reference of others... those giant shoulder cannons were borrowed from a Fafnir.

Yep, I'm aware it's a kitbash of CAV and Battletech minis, with the confusing choice of the commissioner to give it a battletech name identical to it's CAV name
I think I'm getting more "is that a fafnir?" comments than "is that canon?" lol.

Great stuff. One question; the Sagittaire regularly has digtigrade legs, did you just want to change her up for this comp?
I'm digging that paint scheme.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
It was a request to have the legs reversed.

Finally, someone played with the Sagittaire!Β I love that mech and have prayed for a paper model to do a paper-plastic conversion.Β Β Well done, lad....well done.

Thanks, the leg reversal was the commissioners request.

Would remove LRMs, drop in an XL engine and run dual PPC, because dat alpha.Β

And die a very quick death due to engine crits too

But for that one guy whose day you ruined with your alpha, it would be worth it.Β
