Title: What mini is the best match for this?
Post by: Gundamentalist 5.56 on May 17, 2007, 09:08:12 AM

My gadgeteer player suddenly pulled a combat walker exoskeleton out of his gadget bag last night, just before the players assaulted an arab village looking for a fallen meteorite.

After talking to the player, apparently it looks something like this:

Can the massed lead wisdom of the forum point me in the direction of a figure that might match this? A little bit of work is OK, but no serious conversions please.

Pics or links appreciated.

Project X (www.projektx.co.uk) in the UK do some Pulp British, German and Soviet power armor suits that look quite nice.

Although for some reason their site seems to be down at the moment?

Remind me, why is it that Sci-Fi walkers like to wear legwear that comes out of the KISS wardrobe box, circa 1975?

Because walker design specifications require a unit with high mobility, able to rock and roll all night and party every day.
