U.G.A. "Hammerfist" Heavy Artillery

The U.G.A. "Hammerfist" is a well known example of U.G.A. military engineering. The familiar metallic "SHOOMP" sound of one firing is feared by many Legonian rebels.

Image
The Hammerfist's twin cannons are loaded from behind, through an ammunition rack. Each round contains two shells, which the cannon fires in an arc.

Image
Like I said, I have a LOT of U.G.A. vehicles lying around. There's three more to go.
Here's a shot without figs.

You don't want to see this, unless you're into decapitation.

Awesome, it's like an artillery thing.

Criticisms: None, really. I personally don't find it TOO exciting, but it's a good MOC nonetheless.
I think those stats only apply to non-Mexicans.

That is awesome. There is nothing more to say.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

I like it!
It's a departure from the normal fair that I see and you obviously put a lot of thought into its design. I love the cartridges for loading! I know exactly the pieces that you used for that. I got one in a set a little while back and thought to myself, "what in the hell am I going to use that for?!"... now I know.

And knowing is half the battle.

I like the armor on the front.

I find all of your U.G.A. army to be pretty freakin' awesome. The copter was really cool, and this goes along with the style of your minifigs perfectly.

Great job :D

Hooray to U.G.A. army! They definitely have a good weapons designer!

Depends on when I can work out some rules for it and some other UGA things, and when i can find a good opponent for them. Or I could try a solo...

well for rules, an arty cannon would just be a launcher of it's size, no?

give it 5" of movement due to minifig propulsion (unless it's self-propelled), but it'd probably need to sit still for one turn before firing. as for armor, I'd give it 1d10, and a bonus +1d6 for all frontal attacks. that front-end armor is tough.

Every new MOC makes me love the UGA more and more. What are your immigration policies?

Edit: Also, what are your extradition policies?

Oh teh epix! That's ossum sauce!! I'm tired of seeing the ol' big gun on wheels stuff that, while cool in its own right, just doesn't give that sense of realism that a manually loaded gun does. Heavy weapons are really cool. I think they aren't utilized enough in brikwars besides as base emplacements. On the field, there should be moar big guns with no wheels and with minifig crews like this. Great job man. I give you props.
