LINEHOLDER Mech Warrior

Recensione dei Figurini Ral Partha

The LINEHOLDER looks like an ancient Egyptian statue. The panel lines on its back, arms e legs suggest brickwork, e the front of the figure is covered con architectural trim. The LINEHOLDER is a headless Mech, its cranium is a small ridge which connects the spinal cord con the breastbone. The subdued facial features are located on the chest, e they could be painted to give the LINEHOLDER a grotesque appearance.

The LINEHOLDER looks good in a desert sand base colour, ed it may be painted with narrow bands of colourful geometric designs like those found on ancient papyrus scrolls. Black hyhroglyphics would look good on it, too. The bent arms provide a bit too much animation for a figure which looks really good in a static defensive posture. One way to correct this is to cut the right arm off, leaving only a damaged stump con wires e hydraulic cables dangling from it.

Valutazione

The LINEHOLDER is armed con missiles ed a large laser weapon, it should be a tough opponent, even if the model looks less imposing than the other Mechs in the series.

Easy to assemble. Only the arms need to be glued on prima di dipingere. Cast from lead-free pewter.

Much cast-on detail con clear geometric lines. The LINEHOLDER looks more like a structural model than a vehicle, e the static pose increases this effect. Unfortunately, the figure is partially animated: Both arms are bent. This part of the pose has a toy-like quality to it. One way to reduce this effect is to cut the right arm off just above the elbow, e suggest battle damage con dangling wires e torn armour plate.

Not strictly compatibile con 1:72 scale. The LINEHOLDER is taller than the carro armato medio M3 Grant, but it only has the mass of a carro armato leggero o autoblindo. Other Mechs will appear more dangerous when they are deployed to fight veicoli militari in scala 1:72 nel wargame.

The LINEHOLDER was originally designed as a cheap garrison Mech. Its arm laser has a range of 500 meters, ed is about as effective as a 75 mm shell. The multiple rocket launcher on its shoulder is accurate up to a range of 1000 meters, con minimal fire effect. The LINEHOLDER requires more detailed painting to bring its architectural design to life, it is not a standard military type like many of the other Mechs. If the arms could be relaxed to hang down by the Mech’s side, the LINEHOLDER could be used as an Egyptian temple guard.
