LEGO Thursday: Hardsuits


Posting all of these old pics is really inspiring me to go back and do something with some of these ideas. This was a series of attempts and test drives for me to see if I could feasibly work a solid "hard suit" design for mini-figs. The only part that's truly mini-fig here is the head, the rest of the suit is made up of fiddly bits.


Speed suit


Combat suit with melee and fire support



Armored flamethrower unit


Reaper-class gladiatorial chassis


Dual-sixshooter wielding Dinosaur Planet patrol suit



Standard enhancement suit


Maintenance suit, useful on high-grav worlds

  3. Thanks you two. There's a great set of free rules I played at last Fall-In called Giant Stompy Robots that would be perfect. It's for huge, multi-story mechs, but a little tweak and you're good to go. Plus, as systems and weapons get destroyed it's easy to model on the go.

  6. @KG: You'd be happy too if you had a power suit and a katana!

    @Brumie: She's a tall drink of water, that's for sure.

    @Spacejacker: Thanks!
