I'd certainly like to include the fighting platform for at least the Cadians for thematic reasons, but that can be dealt with as a pattern issue. I'd be perfectly willing to standardize the rest of the stats.
The original Leviathan model has a fighting platform though? Two, one inside the other infact. I reckon it’s best to aim for one set of stats for it, I can’t really see any much need/call for variants.
I agree it should have fire arcs for the Lascannons and Doomsday Cannon and I also think 5+CC and Supreme Commander is the way to go – it makes taking it instead of a normal RegHQ a dilemma, as it’s a good unit, but harder to hide and vulnerable to Deathstrike Missiles and other multi-damage TK.
I reckon it should have a DC of at least 5 and very probably 6 myself as the old model was clearly massively underscaled to how it was actually meant to be. The Leviathan shares the
exact same gothic windows that are on the original Thunderhawk/brick model – compare one of them with a current FW Thunderhawk and see how much bigger it has become now it’s properly scaled, then imagine increasing the Leviathan by a similar proportion.
In SM/TL it could carry as many as 31 stands, plus transport vehicles for them! I could see that going down some maybe but I do think it should be able to carry around 20 infantry stands and 10 vehicles. Anything less isn’t really doing the background/unit justice IMO. Even if a certain proxy is designed overly small, due to understandable constraints, I still think the stats should remain true to the background and true size the unit should be.
This makes me want to convert a truescale Leviathan at some point, one a good twice the size in every dimension from the current one
