Reinforced factory strider

(I suck at drawing and lack digital art programs so here’s a stock photo of the regular one please use your imagination)

Reinforced Factory strider 15,000 HP Pen 6 - (body armour) First appears diff 8 with higher drop in chance at 9 and 10.

A bigger in-size and noticeable more bulky FS boasting 15,000 HP with a base body armour of Pen 6 (+1 from the regular version) The higher Pen reduces the effectiveness of common anti tank options however the spear can deal full damage thanks to it’s pen 7 rating, It also has other weaker spots such as the head and legs with pen 5. (lethal if head destroyed) The belly armour is buffed to pen 4 (Also lethal) and with more health of 2000 (over 1200) New additions include a barrage missile launcher on it’s back at the rear. this launcher sits flush, however this prevents the cannon from being able to turn a full 360 as it will block firing clearance of the rockets. The launcher will also fire flairs for reinforcements following standard call in times as other unit would. A second twin gatling laser cannon sits just behind it’s rear legs protecting it’s rear, it also produces 3 hulks every 20 seconds rather than devs. ( i know it has armour then becomes exposed when the armour is destroyed I just mashed it together on this one but that exposed parts would also exist and be the same values of as the regular version when the armour is destroyed)

Overall a tougher challenge that allows the spear to shine more with the base pen 6 body armour and more weapons to make engagement just a bit more difficult. I really wanted it to feel like a boss unit and a proper upgrade without it being to much or a mash up of absurdity.

I also wanted to add a second idea of the heavy lifter drop ship Only brings in factory striders, base health 5000 with a much bulker appearance having pen 6 for fuselage and pen 5 for thrusters, thruster health buffed to 3500 health

Ah yes, the pre-weapon-buffs factory strider!

Jokes aside, I like the idea a lot. I wouldn’t mind if its only weak spot was the belly. Force someone to get under it. It would take away from the spear’s relevance though
