Hey everyone!
About a month and a half ago, I announced a kitbash contest for MEK-BORG/STEEL PSALM for folks to kitbash and paint up a MEK in the Cyanide Industries faction. The prize was getting your pic in the book (win or lose) and then the one that won would be immortalized as a piece of art in the book along with some stats for it.
Well, you all delivered and them some!
Here are all eight of the contestants' entries:
From Capitan:
"An early model of Mek from Cyanide, this one was designed to be a front assault style machine meant for urban environments initially. It's heavy armor and shielding mounted on arms allowed it to take up space and claim narrow streets while preventing subjects from passing. Weapons were later mounted to it's chassis when the machine proved valuable as a fighting asset. The A1-01 platform is based around an older modular design philosophy that still sometimes sees service on other chassis and systems."
From Squared:
"MTA-8086 “Manta” upper torso houses uplink to CYAN and sensor systems for scouting, the pilot rides in the underslung cockpit pod"
From theycallhimben:
From Pottedplant:
"My final submission, Mek "Seraphim Oath Singer III" or "S.O.S 3" for short. Belonging to Mek-knight "Corduroy" of the PeaceCrafters."
From PaladinDemo:
"MGR-390, aka the double shift."
From Habitable:
"Conceived, fabricated & deployed as part of "Operation Helping Hand is "OHHb 'Safety-Crawler' 10-10". Now rotated between Garrison & "Proactive Harmony Maintenance" lances, 10-10 holds the current Cyanide record for most crunchies crunched, no small feat. Though of course CYAN has ensured 10-10's pilot will keep this achievement to herself. "
From RPGojira:
"Here's my submission for the mek contest. Meet CommRunner Delta-Xi 017, a mobile support unit for Cyanide's network. While armed with some indirect fire support and a few point defense weapons, its main focus is mobility. The unit's mek-knight needs to constantly reposition the machine to help maintain the "Shared Intel" trait for its assigned lance of Cyanide meks."
From Khark:
"You'll have to excuse the very rushed paint job, If I am good at one thing, it is procrastinating but here is the '2B1 Siege Atlas' armed with (in my lore anyway) a 2B1 Oka 420mm cannon, and a 50mm rotary autocannon"
Truth be told, I freakin' love all of them. The designs are great, the paintjobs are damn impressive, and I especially the story/lore bits. So, I've decided that I'll include the lore for all of them in the books (the contestants permitting, of course) with pre-gen stats for whoever wants to play those particular models.
As far as who I think created the MEK that captures the feel of Cyanide Industries and their machines the best—the one whose MEK will be recreated in the artwork for Cyanide—I've chosen...

I'll have our team whip up some art for this guy right away so we can see it in the books.
Again, everyone did so awesome it was a tough freakin' choice. Hopefully, we can all come together on another kitbash contest very soon!
Talk to you later, friends!
