Until we receive actual gameplay footage of Heavy Gear 3, it's adequate to reminisce and mourn Heavy Gear Assault. The devs were unceremoniously fired after the publisher (then Stompybot > BlocPlay > Playground Ventures) decided to go all-in on crypto nonsense. Vale, HGA. 2015-2018.

Love these crisp little accessory vehicles to accompany Bandai's 30 Minute Missions 1/144 range. Arguably, no better model to sell scale with than the handsome Armored Core: Fires of Rubicon BD-011 Melanders 3MM kit.

The young lad and I began messing around with Sand: Raiders of Sophie, primarily just for the modular design aspect. Not generally a steampunk guy, but there's something to these lumbering things, and the tension of spotting other players' plumes upon the horizon. Let's see if it has, ahem, legs.
