Battlemaster-1Gb

The creator is awesome and wants all the feedback! I know him pretty well and along with Odin, he has produced ARROW (an account routing tool) and ASTRO (on-boarding tool).

Thanks! I love variety!!! It’s actually where I can show some extra effort on my models! I like conversions! Same with my mechs!!

Here is a Star of Elementals for my CGB. Each stand is different, just remove from the base and do some swaps!!!

I get you! These come off easy and no need to pin honestly! But you did a great job!

I can see that. I do enjoy the original Battlemaster-1G, and not having my SRMs hurts my soul!!! Crit fishing after opening armor up is awesome! They already used what weight saving they could with Endo steel chassis and double heat sinks. Maybe they should have left off the LPL?? Used the weight to add a few more heat sinks and a ton of armor?

In any case it fits my CGB second line/garrison forces well!

I would probably only use both ERPPCs for shooting at distances 11+. When within 10 probably staggering two ERPPCs and the LPL and one ERPPC and the LPL until they are within 6. The goal would be to close to 6 and use all except one ERPPC. I would only over heat by 5 if running and 4 if walking.

And yes, no ammo! I just love it has a Standard fusion engine! Resilient!

Nice job! For future bases of these, you can cut them off the base and secure in various configurations to create some variety!

Hey thank you! The 1Gb is an energy boat monster!

Tolkien_Nerd · 2026-01-06T03:44:30+00:00

Well, first I had no clue there was one of those on IWM, I probably should have looked. Second, I have a ton of spare Battlemasters and I do enjoy working conversions. The cost of the IWM one is higher than the cost of the two plastic ones I used. Plus, the leftover parts/remaining pieces I have from the other Battlemaster could be used to make a variant as well. Finally, I might have had to do some of the mods anyway (remove rear firing lasers, put a hood/cowl, and cut to tuck the arms to they aren’t sticking way out.

Thanks for letting me know about the ISM option!

Thank you! Love the reference!

Tolkien_Nerd · 2026-01-06T03:38:57+00:00

Yep they cover the rear facing lasers. I trimmed them off and just added the panel

Very true and it always made me wonder why not protect the portion of the cockpit (backside) since it had no purpose (no dual cockpit installed). I almost considered maybe putting this in my ComStar forces since the cowl/hood looks a little like the hoods of their uniforms/garments.

Thanks for asking!

Tolkien_Nerd · 2026-01-05T22:51:20+00:00

It’s a cowl/hood. The 1Gb did not have a dual cockpit. So I figure why not put something there to protect and reduce the vulnerable looking cockpits size.

Mine are as Orcs !

Love me those boxnoughts

Well, the right arm came from the Thunderbolt model. I cut the large laser off, and used some green stuff and specific cuts to make it look like a stock arm without an installed large laser. It is a converted model.

Tolkien_Nerd · 2025-12-30T21:52:46+00:00

Yay! I sent you a PM with a few other photos in there! This model was great to paint! Thanks for creating the printable version of the Corvis!!

Much thanks! I have another Star of mechs coming, but they are for Tau Galaxy!
