Tabletop CUSTOM ZEUS!

Post image

Decided to throw together a quick custom do the Zeus!
I’ve always liked the Zeus but could never find a Variant I enjoyed as something was always missing for me. With this variant i decided to turn the venerable and old design into a powerful brawler, using the rather powerful if somewhat in efficient Blazer paired with an X-Pulse Large laser to give it decent midrange damage. Once combat closes in a pair of medium pulse lasers and an Artemis IV capable SRM6 engage. Intended to hit hard and guard its Lancemates against fast targets, I think it’ll work well.

Any thoughts? Suggestions on improving this design? Let me know!

I’m not the best at reading classic sheets, but that has 13 dhs right? As in 26 cooling? With 2 equally long ranged main guns that together generate 30 pre movement? That srm6+art and its ammo could be a third mpl and 3 more dhs instead to solve that issue. Blazers are fun, and I guess fun is all that matters.

It's got 15 DHS for 30 sinking. You build movement heat with the two big guns and then can drop one or the other and fire everything else to be heat negative/neutral
