=== Protocol 3: Protect the pilot. ===
Here's a Mars Cult take on Titanfall's Northstar.
The pilot is definitely a little small by heroic scale standards, but I couldn't resist modeling one. I think to use the pilot I'd have to give up my intention of proxying the mechs as Sydonian Dragoons and Ironstrider Ballistarii.
For the purposes of modeling close combat and ranged loadouts, the following elements are included:
- 4 lance arms
- 4 arms holding your choice of autocannon or lascannon
- 3 open arms
- 3 arms steadying the autocannon or lascannon (each has a matching gun arm, lettered A through D. One of the gun arms does not require a steadying hand)
For those obsessed with WYSIWYG, pilot pistols and rifles are also included and can be modeled as stowage.
At the scaling provided, the final model comes out around 95mm tall, depending on posing. To use the pilots I'd bump the scale up at least 15-20%.
Who knows, maybe I can find another unit around 20% taller than a Dragoon to count this as. Perhaps I'll just accept that I am modeling for disadvantage and roll up with the world's chunkiest admech walkers. Either way, I'm chilling.
