An interesting battletechy-dreadnoughty mecha has just been put up on Kickstarter.

Base pledge is just for the mech, with further stretch goals for supporting infantry and vehicles. Good price point, interesting design. Looks a bit like a madcat. What’s not to like?

That looks pretty cool, and John Bear Ross has been around forever...

The mandatory crotch gun

I thought it was kind of a chin mount, but you're right... its a crotch gun... *sigh*

John Bear Ross is a legend in the community, but out of the gate this is a bit sparse compared to the hauls you get on a 10$ Patreon. Will check back at the end if enough sretch goals have been unlocked.

Thanks for the kind words, all.

Just a last-day bump for the Kickstarter, which ends in a few hours.

We funded in 12 hours on that first day, and broke through the fifth stretch goal last night.

So, along with the base package of 28mm and 15mm Viper Suits, your $20 USD Viper Pilot pledge gets you...

Bases and base toppers.
A detailed cockpit interior.
Pilot stowage and colonial survival gear.
Gun and repair drones.
The CATs, or Cybernetic Automated Troopers. Tall, robotic killing machines with a wide array of weaponry.
And, surprise surprise, Patrick Keith was kind enough to remaster Waldo, my longtime size reference figure as both a standing figure and a seated pilot.

Thanks, again, for putting this post up, and allowing me to add to it. I'm glad I put Viper in the search bar before posting.

Here's some pics...











And here's a 28mm Merka Main Battle Tank from last year's Motorpool Kickstarter. It's available as an add-on to your pledge.



Everybody together.

Thanks for looking.

Best,
