Pollux and Castor (2)

Good morning!

During the initial design phase I planned to add some Machine Guns/Stubbers to the cockpit/head.

So I quickly built 4 MG.

However, when mounting them I wasn't really convinced.

 

What do you think? Too much?

 

Or maybe an alternative position?

 

Would the MG further back on the side or even under the chin look better?
Or should I remove them completely?

 

I recall someone asking me what kind of balls I use for the joints.

They are pretty no-name wooden beads 12mm - I got them in a local hobby store.

 

After I put the MG to the side to see what your feedback will point me to, I began to work on the ranged weapons.

I decided to give CASTOR some twin-linked Lascannons. 

 

A rather simple mount, with an extra central sight.

 

POLLUX' multi-purpose power fist with the flame-thrower also received a small belt fed bolter.

 

Truly multi-purpose :)

For his right side he's getting something bigger.

It is a special low-velocity drum fed Grenade Launcher.

With its 9-shot magazine it can dish out some devastating fire. The 80mm grenades with High Explosive warheads have a large blast radius and are excellent anti-personnel weapons - speak Ork Splatterer :)

Before I will apply armor to the arms and legs I started to add cables and hydraulic hoses.

And here's the final question for you :)

I want to add lights - like I used on the PONOS and POLEMOS.

Which version looks best?

Version A

 

Version B

 

Version C

 

Version D

 

Version E

 

So what do you think?

I look forward to your feedback on the machine-guns and on the lights.

Thanks

Klaus
