Sorry about the pic, I'm working on a grey version that should photograph better.

The newest Mech Frame from Nightwatch Industries.
Designed to over come the Warhorse's inherent design flaws, the Destrider has been redesigned from the ground up as a dedicated combat Frame.
Coming stock with a .50 cal. fully automatic rifle, reinforced internal armor, self contained life support, and options for expanded load outs.

Nightwatch Indusries. When you absolutely have to have it dead.

Base Destrider:
2w6
2r6 Distance
1b6 Extra Armour
1g6 Enhanced Internals

Very nice, I like the back unit. How do you make the magazine for the gun.

That's a great name for the mech. I look forward to seeing this in grey.

You can see the technique better in this picture.

It looks badass. Can't wait to see it in more detail (aka not black :P)

Just regarding the name, did you mean to use "Destrier", being another name for a war-horse?

First of all, love the backpiece and the general look of the frame: it's just bulky enough to look like a serious contender, but also has some spare lines that make it seem like a lithe, dangerous frame to face.

The polished black look is good! Though I also look forward to seeing some of the details in gray, I'd argue that black might look better on the playing field, as it were.

As far as "destrider" vs "destrier", I'd say keep it, even if it is a typo: it could be a typo on the part of the company's director of marketing, reminiscent of that yarn about the SR-71 having its designation changed due to a slip of the tongue on Regan's part, or the name of a designer or famous general, or even an example of language drift!

And here it is in white. This should be easier to see how its built.

Lookin' good. I particularly like the detail along the front there, which look like maybe vehicle recovery systems, or engineering tools, or even spare parts. Nice!

I've reworked this design a little. I wasn't to happy with the look of the hips/waist area.

I think it looks awesome. Using the dinosaur teeth pieces on mechs always makes them look awesome in my mind.
