Not half bad! Reminds me of Earthsiege Hercs, in a most favourable way.

Will you be releasing new weapon sculpts for these as well?  And if so will it be possible to buy the current vipers with those weapons?

Looks good...but in a very generic kind of way.  There are only so many ways to do something, but this doesn't invoke any "oohhhh! ahhhh!" emotions from me.  It's just a typical bipedal war machine with some guns.

Design looks crisp though.

I like it as well, but I do have to wonder why the need for that big hefty chunk of resin as a base? Couldn't it be cast without that integral base or at the very least make it a lot slimmer?

I think these are the same legs as the normal Vipers and I must agree I had a bit of trouble removing those blocks of resin on mine. HOWEVER, once removed it was instantly clear why its there as the legs could easily break apart without the sturdy block to keep them together.
