The little dude is roughly marine sizeish for the comparison.

Overall a fantastic miniature. The crotch plate looks a little weird though... and this is the first instance I can recall of a TAG with the operator's arms dangling out of the sides.

I'm still excited about Nomads having another TAG with a model though...

Actually the Lizard Squadron TAG and the O-Yoroi Kidobutai TAG have the little arms.

I wasn't gonna do Nomads but I have to have this miniature. I just wish I could paint like this fella!

Yeah, the Lizard and the O-yoroi also have them.

In manga and anime with these suits, the little arms ARE the pilot arms and called the "master" arms (the pilot uses these to control the bigger arms). The big arms are called the "slave" arms as their actions are 'slaved' to the small ones.

PanO doesn't use them because their TAGs don't have pilots in them (all of theirs are remote-operated).
Same for the Aleph Marut.
The TAGs with master/slave arms are an older class of TAG and what the PanO refer to as "obsolete" tech.
They sold the entirety of the "reptile" class line to the Nomads as they didn't need them anymore - having moved to ghost operated models.

I play QK, so I'll be getting one, but that HMG ammo feed is gonna get surgery. The tail will probably be docked, too (it has foot extensions, so it isn't technically moving on the balls of its feet and therefore doesn't need the tail for balance.

The operator is a shmick piece, though and WILL definitely see its way into my collection.

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid. This thing is much more up my street.

But they're so cute...

I should have checked the sub-forum

[energongoodie]

But Psychosplodge, what do actually think of the model?

[Psychosplodge]

Very anime-esque. It's got a beautiful paint job.
