Drop Pod Magnetizing

Further on down the assembly line...
The harnesses for the occupants have been assembled, and the weapons are now in place.

 Drop pods are more than simply troop delivery systems, for they can be used as a conveniently placed turret as well. I want to be able to swap out the weapons, so I can have the option of the infantry-shredding Storm Bolter or a missle launcher.

A simple magnet on either side of the weapon, and it's a piece of cake to swap them out as the situation demands.





A few more little details and the pods will be ready for some paint - and laying down some hurt on the enemy!

Skyrim Dark Elf Assassin - Sadako



Re-starting an RPG 30 hours in is never easy. I last played Skyrim like a year ago, and now trying to figure out exactly where I am and what I'm doing is a task unto itself. What were my character's motivations? Who was I planning on joining?  What was my next goal? Who did I piss off?

..and I'm a werewolf???

Worse yet, I have a pool of unspent skill points - what was I saving those for?

It makes me just want to start all over again, but I find that a bitter pill to swallow after 30+ hours.
 It's coming back to me gradually, it's apparent that I crafted her as a stealthy glass cannon. She's deadly lethal with a bow, sniping from the shadows then finishing the job with dual-wielded short swords if the sneak attack to the skull doesnt do the trick. She is a member of the Companions, and is secretly a werewolf, as such she is sworn foe of the Silver Hand. She also hates the Stormcloaks, and kills them whenever possible.

My next goal is to head to Riften and join the Thieves Guild...

My Secret Weapon vs. Derek's Ork Horde

the Black Templars picked up 3 drop pods at the local used war transports lot, and thundered onto the battlefield Saturday night vs the greenskins. I just got them basically assembled for the game, no guns or internal mechanisms yet.

DEATH FROM ABOVE!!
