Bladewind: Elven Colossal IV Animated mech (full stats)
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 4:36 pm
I've always thought the L'arile mechs had a large tactical problem as they don't really have a large melee design. The only melee capable designs are the lancer and runemech, but these are no match for the big colossal II through IV designs (War Smith, Paladin, Goredog, Wakizashi). The one large elven combat mech, the Warlock, is much more suited to a fire support role, and would be in extreme trouble if meleed by an enemy mech. So I decided to set out to prove you can build a formidable melee mech that's animated. Designed to be the L'arile nation eqiuvalent of the War Smith & Paladin designs, it is a colossal IV mech with capability to support a small mech force. So here are the stats.
