AHL model

[jfetters]

Oh and when do we get to see the Spinal Mount firing...really want to see that too.

YES! I was half expecting to see something in the video!

Some people are never satisfied...

Had to be done.

Oh. My. God-there-is-no-god! Love it.

Awsome work Andrew - so you were just kidding when you said no animation

Those AHL gunners need to be sacked - have they tried switching the computer on?

 

[Scarecrow]

Once again! The best you've done. My hat is off to you, Sir! Superb!

 

[Theophilus]

Well, now you've got me in trouble, I just drooled all over my supervisors computer

nice, very nice.

When does the feature length movie come out?

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Don't hold your breath.

 

[leo knight]

Truly awesome!

 

[The Hinterworlds Rambler]

I would have rather have watched this awesome clip on a loop for 90 minutes than have sat thru that Clone Wars thing! Awesome!

Maybe we can convince him to do some sort of fleet action!

I couldn't quite force myself* to go and see it. I'll probably still buy the DVD, though...

You like watching me suffer, don't you?

 

[Jame]

You like watching me suffer, don't you?

Only as long as it's amusing! :devil:

It doesn't have to be a fleet action; you could do an AHL and one of those Solomani (grumble grumble traitors grumble racist cursing oppressive grumble) ... Hawkmores? as an exercise to show of the usage of spinal mounts.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

<sob>

Just let me finish my Rampart first...

 

[Gruffty]

That would be a really short mini-film:

Shot of AHL;

Shot of Hawkmore;

Shot of Hawkmore firing;

Shot of AHL exploding from the inside out.

Fin.

The AHL in combat

Gruffty is correct.

As I have been finding out (through various battletesting of AHLs in an upcoming space warfare boardgame), while the Azhanti High Lightning is the iconic "big ship" of the Traveller universe, in actual combat she is a dog. Slow, unmaneuverable, and lightly protected.

But Andrew's AHL is beautiful.....

 

[dccarles]

I love your work, Andrew. I assume you did this with 3ds Max?

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to put SketchUp away, make some real textures for my own models and finally finish my TL 11 72,000 ton Caraza-class battleship.

Indeed. The Hawkmore's spinal mount Meson gun would make short work of an AHL.

But Andrew's AHL is beautiful.....

Agreed.

Those gunners on the AHL either need their skill levels improving or some better dice though

But they're just firing warning shots before attempting to disable the drives. If they blow it up how can they take the princess captive and interrogate her about the stolen plans to the...

...oooh. Different universe. Riiight.

"Attention all gunners! New orders. Blow that rusty piece of a poor excuse for a starship from my skies!"

I just ran the SCN recruiting video again.

That's Terra, isn't it?
