Above is a mech part point sheet for designing your glorious robot. You’ll notice it’s not Battletech standard, but that doesn’t matter, this is for artistic purposes. When you design such a robot using their rules, you have to take into consideration ammo weight, heat sinks and armor, that’s pretty much what I’ve done. So, the numbers are made to incorporate.

Some people may design a robot overblowing the point system, that’s ok, but if you played it in Mechforce, it’d be a tragic config, fit only for exploding next to someone. :)
The main reason this point system exists is to give an artist balance to a robot. You’ll see an example of an balanced/unbalanced robot in my gallery. [link]

So, when you come around to making your glory bot, check out the simple draw page found here. [link]

So, the rules are, you start with 28 points, subtract the weapon or object point weight till you end up with zero left. You can always leave some points, that just means your robot can move a lot quicker, run and fly faster. Speedy mech.

Mind you, there is a lot more things which can be added, but I ran out of space, this is a pretty good start.

Hope this helps!?

thanks for making this one. I'm not really good at drawing or anything (a bit above average I hope :P). anyway I've decided to try and learn how to paint mechs on the pc and this will help me A LOT!! as do all the other mech paintings you put up here. so in response to your question in your other tut: yes please make more, it'll really help me and it's much appreciated.

VERY nice :heart: This is very useful since I just recently got into the Mech/Mecha (Mecca) Idea in drawing and suck at it :) ]]

H...Hello :heart:
:iconfoxi-5:
Ah, I used to suck at it once too. Reaaaaaalllllly suck. :) But I got a little better every time I drew something new. It comes in time. So long as it's fun to do, you'll always improve. :) Thanks again!
