Hey Everyone, I wanted to show off the WIP Founder Tripod that Sean is sculpting. The Founder is going to get some new rules, to make it more useful in regular games (it is going to be a drone controller and be able to generate a few during games).

For some reason I'd envisioned it as much larger than an assault tripod.

I really do like that head. It would be good if we could had different heads we could put on normal assault tripods for variation

Love that head. And the fact that is a drone carrier as well as a controller. The size makes me inclined to buy 2 or 3.

Love the look and concept. Would suggest all three legs be firmly down though. More stable on the table, especially for those of us who don't have good dexterity. The rule book offers little besides its stats - slower, better armor than a Overseer!, no weapons. I don't like giving it drone creation, but agree it would have lots of drone control capability. A lot depends on what it really does for the Martian war effort. Based on the picture, I could see it going to a good location, settling down so that the two vent-like parts are underground and developing a complete complex similar to the underground structures of a cylinder. A cylinder-like base that is mobile. Would make sense so that the campaign wouldn't always be tied to the cylinder landing spots. It would take time for the Founder to establish the same capacity as a cylinder as first it would need to make Construction Engines, defenses, and go from there. And there is always the matter of raw material (e.i. the rare Martian metal) - but, it would be a really useful forward base. A thought would be a two piece kit, one of the walking tripods shown above and a second dug-in base. Or two individual boxed items with the dug-in base being the second. In any case, the above model is definitely on my growing 'buy' list. Congrats on creating another of the 'missing' machines from the rule book
