Default The 'Narrow'side battlesuit

I just couldn't resist. I had left-over XV-25s and rail-rifles from my stealth drone conversion, and the more I got to wondering what I should do with the parts, the more this little project kept haunting my mind.

Let me know what you all think here.



I'm not really sure how I should field this one, as there are obviously no rules currently available. Any ideas that you all have would be greatly appreciated.

Back to the shop. My Fio'el is gonna have my hide if I don't get the next 'fish built here soon.

That is very cool. Possibly fix up some of those gaps around the backpacks with green stuff? You could field it with the same rules as a Broadside, but he could be the team leader? maybe.
Otherwise very cool conversion.

I think that it is top-heavy, but nevertheless a good one.

Maybe you should put it on a slightly bigger base, and then ou an call it a broadside.

Only thing you could do is reduce the length of the support struts for the jetpacks... otherwise, brilliance.
