Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

Latest iteration of my King SandMan, the 'Super Shadow Hawk.' Upping the tonnage from my 85-ton version allowed for more engine heat sinks, freeing up enough room for TSM!

Long backstory and lots of fluff, but most of it's nothing new -_- I can post it again if there's interested parties. I also made a 75 ton version which has the same configuration (less armor though, of course), and a 55 ton version which works as a decent approximation.

I also threw the new Advanced 'Mech Record Sheet into Acrobat and made myself a something pretty. In the notes, I have a 'TSM cheat sheet' of sorts, which goes [Move] [ERLL] [RAC/5] [MPL]. Rick, if you're watching... something like this record sheet for HMPro6 would be cool

Cool, what did you use to fill out the sheet?

A 95 ton Shadow Hawk

Snake Eyes,

I used Adobe Acrobat. I drew text boxes over everything, and wrote in my equipment. To cover up the un-used armor circles, I just used text boxes with white backgrounds. It took a bit of time, but I really like how the new record sheets look, so it was worth it for me.

My line of thinking with making this guy bigger is that, in an era of fusion drive systems, dropships are more space limited than anything else. Your Leopard Class DropShip can bring four Shadow Hawks to the battle... or four of these. But the number of 'Mechs per DropShip isn't negotiable. And you know that us Davionistas love the big, fast cavalry 'Mechs with a passion (especially if they've got AutoCannons of any kind )

And the ability to force a PSR with a single, TSM-enhanced punch is something that sits right with me
