Phenomenal gallery of mechs built out of Lego, including a neat representation of the one from District 9. My favourite is probably the Schism Class. I'd totally use these on the tabletop as-is!

I love the Halo hunter. I find the 'nano-builds' fascinating…I really find it hard to improv that small. You really need to know your components.

And for info on a FUN set of Lego mecha rules:

I have the original free release of Mechaton. It's a great, silly game, perfect for blasting apart Lego mechs. "I do to you now the enormous hurt." Classic. grin

It looks like a fun game! I'm almost tempted to go and buy a few sets of Lego, but they're even more expensive than miniatures these days :/

Some cool stuff

Parzival, the "for sale" version is better than the old free one. A different die type (yellow for 'targeting'), and the rules are tightened up some. Many bits I felt were dodgy in the original have been changed for the better. They're still a bit over 20 pages (thats including mech-building instructions), best $6 USD I have spent in a long time.

Sadly, the nice color pics in the freebie version are absent, but I guess it saves me some color ink anyway.

Holy Cow… Foundation Class. I'm in love.
That's some neat stuff.

Is there instructions anywhere for building these?

I think a lot of them are planned out using CAD software first, but can do a search on that website for instructions and guides.

Ditto on CMike's comments – nice! And yes please, where are the 'how to' pages? Please?? ;)

Very impressive – when the Little Prince (who is the biggest Lego fan on the planet) gets up, he will be thrilled
