UMC Armoured Fighting Suit (TW)

I finished my 1st mech-suit for 15mm scale Tomorrow's War this week.  Very pleased with it.  The model is the fantastic ViPeR from Rebel Minis, & I think I've finalised the Unified Marine Corps vehicle camo scheme now.  After my initial attempt on the Warthog scout/patrol vehicle, which came out more blade-like in pattern, I tried more creeper-like shapes on this AFS.  I will alter the Warthog's scheme to match this now.


I haven't decided on a name for this class of AFS yet (suggestions welcome), but it is certainly heavily-armed for it's size.  I'm going to call that a chain cannon (anti-infantry/light vehicle) on the right mount, & a rail repeater (anti-armour) on the the left.  I'm planning to put together 2 squadrons of 3 AFS with this balanced weapon configuration, plus 3 'specialist' walkers - 1 with dual chain cannon, 1 with dual rail repeater, plus 1 with a labour/recovery loadout (only clamp/cutter arms).

    Hi PC. That's some meaty beast! If you are going with the 'jungle' theme, then I think you are probably right to 'soften' the hard edges of the camo pattern, in keeping with the environment. Nice work again, by the way!

    Thanks. I've been working on a couple more of these walkers, so should have a trio finished in the next few days.
