Just kidding, it's great to have fans so I decided to do it promptly.And here it is! and no design image is complete without a spehs mahreen for size comparison! Original picture: [link]

They only thing that I dislike, but not necessarily hate is the think sticking out of its chest. Did you draw it with the hatch open or what because I just don't see a "person" fitting anywhere in the chest area. That's just me though.

The drawing is entirely enclosed, and in my sketch I did a bit showing how the pilot fits in, something like they straddle it like a motorbike, or they sit upright with their legs going into the frontal spike. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly how though but you can fit a tau in there!

quite nice, is this an air-caste suit then? Perhaps for void-fighting?

Uhmm, I would have probably not given it legs for space fighting, and wings if it actually did free flight, it's meant to be a fast moving ground/low air attack suit.

ummm... reel it in, boy. I said it was nice. What is the point of the Air caste having a fast moving ground attack suit, that duplicates the roles of both Crisis suits AND several Air caste vehicles??

What can I say? I just didn't give it that much thought, consider it an upgrade from the crisis suits I suppose

Wait, Strain battlesuit? Does that mean it's for Vespids?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, just a name, Didn't want it to be a part of the crisis battlesuit family. But you know looking at it I suddenly think that wouldn't be half a bad idea...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, exactly, part of the reason I mentioned it because I can see Vespids using that.

I'm trying to decide whether or not I like this. Maybe it's because I like the slightly bulky side of Battlesuits and this looks a little too anime.

Well the original was designed and drew heavily from armoured core 4, so thats why it's very sleek and less blocky than conventional battlesuits. I personally prefer that approach as I think it makes it look faster, but that's my opinion. I might do another version sometime with a bit of a more conventional look to it sometime.
Thanks for pointing it out

Holy crap! Damn that was fast too. It may take me a while because all of it is pretty much custom. (except for the backpack which can be pulled of a forge world model but I not going to spend that kind money for a backpack) Im not guaranteeing it to look exactly the same but I will do my best.

Yeah, take your time and it will come out fine! And who says it has to be a perfect replica? I'm thrilled you want to make a model of it, thanks for the support mate
