(every hundred metres the pilot has to climb out and clean the blaster barrels). Okay I am only guessing the guns are under the cockpit.

Yep. The two guns from the usual TIE fighter, with an extra one mounted on the bottom of the ball. Took a front-on shot of the century tank sitting on a large GW base to match the trooper's base. 



I just read that the lower blaster was retractable. I'm sure cleaning out that compartment was fun for some lowly technician. The only advantages I can see to this thing is the one-man design. They were mass-produced and cheap to make, using recycled parts and designs. That's got to be a comfort to the pilot/gunner.

Yep, now I need to paint up the other two I have. I just got an idea for a game.

Here are all three of my Imperial Assault AT-STs. I hated that ridiculous side weapons on the prototype walker so I just use the commander to designate which guy is the prototype driver. That is, if I ever play any of the actual game.

Great stuff!
that Tie-crawler is daft, I mean why would you put tracks on a light fighter, it's like sticking tank tracks on a Zero!

Just a quick addition for today. Here are some Echo Base troopers that have been sitting around primed for way too long. Over half a year.



This is the first time I've made snow bases. Now I need to make another AT-ST with a snow base. Will it ever end?

Resist. Resist as much as you can. Playing Destiny is the reason I stopped posting for almost a year. Video games are evil. Well, maybe not evil, but they sure do take away from hobby time.
