history:

The Tiger III design was first unvealed in the new detroit weapons demonstration in 2036. The aim of the new super heavy tank was to replace the ineffective HA78HAT "Bulldozer" tank that was presently in the UEA arsenal. The initial design of the Tiger three was considered, atleast at the time, to be a little conservative. the Initial prototype had a large singlular 280mm cannon, and only 300mm of armor all around. Among the Panther II, the Tiger III was also ordered into production by the UEA procurement committee. When production was ordered, several changes were made from the inital prototype version. Armorment was changed to twin 250mm cannons for better firepower, but also allowed for the use of magazines which was impossible with the previously mounted 280mm cannon on the prototype(the sheer weight of the shells were found to break the hydraulic loaders and slow down turret traverse). Armor was also upgraded for better protection and survivability.

Due to the expense of the Tiger IIIs, Only four were given to each armored division. The price was well worth it though, because to date only about a dozen of the hundred Tiger IIIs ordered have been destroyed in battle. The success of the Tiger IIIs permanently stopped production of the Heavy tank line produced by MOON Heavy industries(The tanks that were decomisioned have been found to be used by the rebel faction as of recently). One of the main reasons that the Tiger IIIs have such a high survivability is due to the Engineer that every tank has to maintain it, on and off the battlefeild. These engineers keep the tank in top condition, and make life saving repairs while in battle that have saved several Tiger IIIs from destrution.

1st tank

One tank for the line of tanks that I will be drawing and posting. I hope you enjoy them.

Covenant Shard Launcher

This is the design that I came up with for the covenant power weapon that I like to call the Shard Launcher. Enjoy!













details:

name: Type-56 light anti armor semi guided munitions launcher

Manufacturer: Lodam Armory

Munitions: High explosive crystalline projectiles

Range: Medium to Long

projectile speed: hitscan(nearly instanteous impact)

Clip Size: 1 shot(Which is a three round burst)

Total Number of Clips: 10(+1 already inserted)

UNSC Counterpart: ARC 920 Railgun

Description:

The Shard Launcher is a covenant weapon designed after the great schism, drawing majorly from the design of the type 31 needle rifle. It is ideally designed as a counter vehicle weapon, its incredibly powerful supercombine explosion can inflict large amounts of damage to light vehicles(Eg mongoose, ghost, banshee), most times destroying them upon exploding. however, it is less effective versus medium to heavily armoured vehicles, taking multiple bursts in order to destroy them. This weapon is especially devastating versus infantry, the three round burst has enough power to ignore infantry energy shields and instantly cause a supercombine explosion unlike its needler and needle rifle counterparts who are incapable of piercing energy shields right away. When the unsc first encountered this weapon, many marines, even ODSTs, where shocked by the sheer destructive capability it inflicted. many soldiers witnessed the their comrades being completely blown apart if the burst connected with them, adding to the intimidation factor of this weapon. It is often see being wielded by Spec ops Sangheili or high ranking Zealots along side the concussion rifle.
