I'm currently building an AMTL army and am pretty set on my infantry, sentinels, titan etc. Now I am looking for good minoris proxies.

What size do people generally feel minoris should be? Personally I aim for something the size of a baneblade.

Please if you have link for a nice minoris proxy hull, post it here:

I use Morrigu Fire Support vehicles from the Battletech range. I bought one of them from HERE.

I have 3 now and they all have different weapons (easy swap).

Cheers,
Steve.

I'm working on converting the macharius chassis with FW chimeras as the forward command car.

I'm using the Stalker Class Medium War Machine from MAATAC

Image

The turret is seperate, and so I didn't use it and instead put a magnet in the hole where the turret gues, so I can now switch weapons as I like.

The design fit my idea of "some tracked platform with a titan class gun placed on top".

Those are good looking models. I'll have to keep the MAATAC line in mind...

I use morrigu's to, without the turrets they're quite easy to imagine as some sort of engine for a long land train of supplies which ties in nicely with the idea of the carriages being re-purposed machines not necessarily purpose built to bear a weapon. I'm actually planning a broken down supply train being pulled by one of these as an objective and have 3 more I'm currently painting up for my TOEG army.

The plasmablast tigerclaw is probably too large for a minoris, there's some comparisom shots at the bottom of this page

i have tinkered with some of the older click tech toys, in the form of the some of the artillary pieces with tracks, i believe two of them are longtoms. the other three have two sets of tracks and a turret with three barrels (aka tripple laser blaster) another is i think called a marksman(another quake cannon?) its all i have currently and are the size of the majoris but with one weapon. who knows, but i find that they work for me.

some of the larger mechwarrior vehicles (from the CMG) might work. Recently I bought a '95-ton' tank from their line that would fit the bill. Also helps these things cost a couple of dollars brand new - http://www.nobleknight.com/imagepage.as ... KCA073.jpg

I've got one of those too, but figured it would be a bit big due to the cockpit being huge,, with the artillery pieces and such large tanks, i could see those being used.

I was planning on using DRM's Castellian exterminator / annihilator chassis as the basis for my conversions (mainly as I have 6 "Spare"... ::) ), but judging from the discussions here, would people say they're too massive?

Not that I'm doing an army of course, its just that, well, oh, umm... blame RUG.... :p
