Doesn't really seem like a machine, movements are too fluid. Thus making it look like it is a living thing.
Nice too see someone do it though. Other than my previous criticisms, I like it alot

gotta disagree with the movement being too fluid. This is exactly how I imagined dreadnoughts would move, as it seems silly that anything less sophisticated and articulate would be considered a useful warmachine over the course of a few thousand years.

The Man They Call Jayne · « **Reply #4 on:** October 19, 2009, 02:17:21 AM »

i thought that the Dreadnought was controlled by the inhabitants thoughts anyway, so the hull became an extention of the body. in which case, it would walk amost the same way as a person. and the reaction to getting hit by that missile was dead on if thats how it works.

You guys rock. Thanks for the comments.

What army do you think has the coolest mechs?

My vote is Tau but thats only because I like fast mechs. Although second vote ties withChaos for their psychotic four legged death machine and Eldar.

Eldar Wave Serpents win the vehicles
Tau Suits win for non-vehicles.

knightperson · « **Reply #7 on:** October 19, 2009, 11:02:16 AM »

Tau have the coolest looking skimmers, with the Eldar a very close second. Chaos has the best walker vehicles since the Soul Grinder wins by several miles! For anime-mecha-looking-things, once again, it's really close between the Tau and the Eldar. I think the Eldar have a slight edge in sheer appearance, but the Tau are a little more anime because of their mobility. At the high end Eldar have it, hands down, with their Wraithlord Titan or whatever it is. Imperium and Chaos also get some nice Titan walkers, but the Tau have to make do with flyers that can kill them!

Yaknow, i used to think that too, but...the modest design of the hammerheads and pirahnas have grown on me since i've adopted this more mature paint scheme.

But, of course for the none vehicles they look frickin' amazing. I just hope they update the XV8's in the next codex to make them look a bit less doofy in the torso. Course the stealth suits are freakin gorgeous.

Agreed on the Skimmers. Chaos Soul Grinders are sweet but its difficult to respect the design because its gratuitously vicious. I love the Tau style because its modest.

Heres the thing though, I feel that its a bit unfair to call Tau and Eldar anime (i'm getting a little sick of people talking smack about Tau because they don't know what they are talking about). I gotta admit though that i love Mecha and sure the Tau have some similarities but I think people think the Tau are anime because they aren't WTFGRIMDARK enough compared to the other races. I don't know what kind of mecha they watch but theres a big difference between this...

and this.

Plus Tau are totally space communists which totally rocks.

Now, the Eldar Titan is cute and all but check out the Tau Titan. Sure its a custom design but I think this is EXTREMELY faithful to the tau design.

9001 is over 9000......Its over 9000, which the clip, explicitly states......

Of course it could be any number over 9000, but still.

LOL the similarities are so small. Take off the antennae and then suddenly you have nearly no similarities. If anything the Tau machines are wholly unique and far from any typically western or eastern mecha. The argument that the tau machines are somewhat anime is to try to desperately label the style of the tau machines.

Hmm, i'll take your word for it. Regardless though, this Tau Titan exists because of the fact that someone made it. In fact its apparently a rather popular thing and you can find lots of people makin them. It exists, just not "officially".

Just like the Tycho Dreadnought.

I think it'd be awesome if GW made it an official model, but it's fan made fiction that can't be used in any competitive games other then a "cool looking furioso that I named"

Lots of people do lots of things, the rules just don't allow them to be used competitively.

Khanaris · « **Reply #44 on:** October 12, 2011, 09:12:23 AM »

Missed this one the first time around.

Getting back to an earlier point, the reason a Shoota is about as effective as a Bolter in terms of strength and rate-of-fire is because it is taking advantage of the Ork physique. You could go out and make a short-barrelled "rifle" in any machine shop that fires shells the size of footballs, but you are going to take your arm off. And you won't hit anything, which is part of why Orks are BS2. And it is probably not going to last for all that many firings. Which is fine if you are an Ork and can replace it easily. But Space Marines like to treat their weapons as sacred artifacts, so they need something that is going to last.

What really makes the bolter special is that it can fire large-calibre shells accurately (because the shells are fired at a fraction of their ultimate velocity). It is also reliable enough to last for centuries with appropriate maintenance. I generally see it as a rapid-fire rocket-propelled-grenade launcher, which I think was stated already.

Farseer Del · « **Reply #45 on:** October 12, 2011, 10:40:43 AM »

Oh christ, that dA page someone linked to, the OP of the MS paint picture of a bolter and a Halo rifle is trying to use Draigo as a counterpoint to the fact that Master Chief killed the covenant with his rifle. Oh, and using the term "real man" when both the characters being discussed are genetically modified and arguably no longer human.

Many palms and many faces must have met.

On the subject of the Ork shoota, I'm surprised none of us pointed that out yet. I guess it was because it was table as, er, a tabletop question rather than fluff, so it took someone smarterer to spot there was a fluff argument to be had as well.

In terms of maintenance though the bolter is able to operate without maintenance for some time, especially with caseless ammo as caseless reduces the number of moving parts that have to move. But at the end of the day no firearm will operate for long without it. Barrel fouling, general wear and tear, or just corrosion of the metals would strike eventually. Even AK-47's need to be cleaned, parts replaced, and parts repaired over time.

Orks however do have the advantage of being Orks and not believing in maintenance, thus not needing it. They think it'll work, so it does.
