I finished the details on the 3 Gothic mechs I've got so far for my Kurita lance. So these three are done! Now I'm waiting for a Gothic Scorpion to show up on eBay for a reasonable price to finish the final mech.
I added a few small extras to all three to make them unique. The PHawk got the plasticard Bat Wings on its Jump Jets. No rules changed, just aesthetic fun! The King Crab got the tusks under the cockpit window and the ridge of shark fin plates running down the center of the back. And the Awesome, a converted standard Awesome, got lots of bits!!
The demon skull head and winged back banner are the most obvious! But it's also got a honking big vibro-axe in its left hand!! And a bunch of curved hooks on its shoulders and knees. Do NOT get charged by this one!!
Awaiting on my work table are more hooks and a curved mechanical tail made from GW Necron Mechadendrites and blades! I plan to remove the Scorpion's PPC from the torso, once I get one, and mount it on the end of an actual scorpions tail rising over the back of the mechs torso! The SRM launcher will stay where it is. 😁 Plus some hooked blades on the skinny legs made from GW Dark Eldar rifle bayonets, will finish the customization on the lance!
Hopefully I'll have an update soon on the fully complete lance!!
They are mostly just for creative fun, but I thought they'd make a great Pirate Lance or themed Merc lance for future campaign games! There's got to be a few crazy MechWarriors out there?! 😁

The wings are a nice touch!
