[Dan from Chicago]

27 points of infantry zapping: 1 stormwall, 1 firefly, 3 stormsmiths

When will they preview book...

My bet would be not until after L&L.

[lastspartacus]

Its been really soon. Where is my book spoiler? -_-

[PG_Agamemnon]

Probably not, but here's a hastily-photoshopped mock-up of what the Stormwallstrider might look like:


And, just for fun, here's its considerably less awe-inspiring counterpart, the Thunderpants:

Hmm... I think both of these look pretty cool...

So... if you did this could you use them as either?

I don't recall having too many quadrupedal Wanzers when I played Front Mission. But in Armored Core, when you started getting way too heavy with it, the easiest route was to switch to quadrupedal legs since they could hold a lot more weight. And then added MORE guns. I might have had a problem...

There's a couple of four-legged wanzers in Front Mission -- I remember the Imaginary Numbers in Front Mission 3 were fairly notorious for using a four-legged chassis. But they are a minority, yes.

I should play more AC. I want to make a tank AC!

Yeah, there were there. It just wasn't very widespread. Where with AC it often came down to wanting more guns and being too heavy. Add tank treads or four legs and have a blast!

PIE would be ok with the top for store wall and the bottom for storm strider...but not vice versa. Remember the weapons must remain e same....

[jandrese]

Um, isn't the Storm Strider's weapon the big ball thing?

[PG_Wold]

Um, isn't the Storm Strider's weapon the big ball thing?

Yup, which is why I said I'd be ok with the bottom image as the storm strider....

[PG_Stevo]

Um, isn't the Storm Strider's weapon the big ball thing?

He's saying that the top image would only be useable as a Stormwall while the bottom image would only be useable as a Storm Strider. You couldn't use the bottom one as a Storm Wall because the weapons don't match up.

I simply loved the video.
It seems as though PP has excelled themselves with not only the detail and faction concept and context but also with the quality of the figure itself.
I was impressed and then some.
My only problem is the bloody thing is FA 2 which is like the evil temptation, the PP snake in Eden that is, I mean aside from cost to buy the cost to field is pretty much a lock out and then the problem of storing and transporting two of the beasts, damn.
Still.........
FA 2........
I hate you all....
