Rut No Mat Wa RaiZot De!!*

Greetings stinky humans!
This is the future of your worthless, pitiful lives! Death and slavery for the Glory of the Morat Supremacy!!! Oh, and the Evolved Intelligence!


The RaiZot (or Raicho, as it is called by forces from the Human Sphere) is a fairly average TAG. The main weapon is a multi-HMG and then there are two basic variants through a different secondary weapon system. One has a heavy flamer, which is never anything to stick your nose up at. The second has a heavy grenade launcher. Armour 8 and 3 structure points means you can expect similar from other no-frills TAGs in the same weight class. It is a little bit cheaper than similarly armed TAGs of the same weight class, although only by a few points.


The biggest thing it that the Morat Aggression Force can have two in their sectorial force. Taking two would be nice, but you can't have Imetrons in the Morat sectorial, so having two becomes more of a liability than a good idea. Cheap order ONLY happen in other factions. 
Lacking in any form of Camouflage or ODD (Optical Disruption Device) means that unless you are hugging cover or hiding in smoke, there are no penalties, barring range, to shoot at you.


It was a pretty simple TAG to throw together though. It did need the arms and legs pinning though. I made a mistake in not attaching the 'puppeteer,' arms on until last. This was a big pain in the proverbial... I was swearing like a sailor in Orctown trying to attach those little blighters!


The biggest issue with the model is that it overhangs the base. A LOT! Similar with the Jotums and Dragoes, it is in dire need of needing a 50mm or a 60mm base and not a metal addition.

Here are some close up shots.


No secondary weapon as I am looking at adding them with a pin and hole method of attachment.
  

Yes, I am a sad nerd who wrote 'RaiZot' in Morat characters. I think I slightly got the method of writing them mixed up though. It appears that each syllable should be written vertically, top to bottom, instead of horizontally. this way looks prettier though.


I played around with a fireball effect or similar on the barrel of the multi-HMG. It looks better in person than in these photos.


The hair was really easy to do, but it does make me wonder why all of the  Morat have 80's metal hair?

Hope you like it. Comments, as always, are welcome.

Regards,
