WIP: Nod Hover Unit

Sk8erkid · INSANE **Joined**: 16 Aug 2002

First fully by-hand voxel in a while. Made the body planning for it to have a tank turret and barrel and when I went to make then i got bored and just slapped on an AA turret I had laying around. Not sure if its off an old voxel of mine or Westwoods or what, just had it lying around in my collection of parts to use. Kinda turned out like a Nod version of the Hover MLRS. *Waits for Ackrons comment about how Nod shouldn't have a Hover MLRS* Should I go back to my original idea and make a tank turret?

Very good overall, and very nod-like.

I disagree with the rocket openings being red, though.

What would the turret look like if you were to do it? I'd suggest round and flat with some sort of plasma cannon or laser cannon. However, I'd like to see both versions before deciding.

The Body does look great, though, very innovative shape. You might possibly alter the front to look like more scorpion-like with the cockpit being surrounded in a pincer-like grasp. That way the weapon forms the tail of the scorpion. Lose the red ring of remap on the back section, maybe make it a Nod insignia instead one on both sides. It just seems so random, remap should meld into the vehicle not permeate it. Also, put some sort of thruster on the back. (It might have a thruster, I just can't tell.)

Forgive me for bumping such an old topic, but I believe you should leave it as it is to counter the MRLS to a point and make it a downloadable voxel...but just my idea.

First Nod Hovercraft I've seen and liked. Well, not just liked, loved. Brilliant.
I agree with deadman though, I'd like to see this version of the tank turret you mention, as I feel it could be interesting. A Nod Hover MLRS could be good, but I don't like direct counterparts of one army to another.
If you do keep with the MLRS, I think a slightly modified turret could be better. Perhaps have the missile racks coming out from the centre like a V shape? Almost like wings?
Still, lovely model Very Happy
