GALEFIRE – Michael Rookard

Concepts up, now to pick one…

Rev 3

Rev 2 (1/24/12)

Rev 1

The Shredder Point Defense system is Iron’s solution to the Syllarian and Outsider threats.  Mounting a monstrous canister single-shot round, the Shredder can punch through the thick, gnarled hides of Syllarians just as well as it can sever an Outsiders extra-dimensional ties with its host-body.  This is standard issue equipment for Irons veterans, especially when engaging in any sort of enclosed spaces.  Usually carried on thick, waist webbing, the Shredder pairs well with Iron’s standard battle rifle; however, ammunition is generally a concern.

Edit 1/4/12 even more concepts!

Some more core concepts, and a description

The Core: Deep within the Nexus, locked away behind teknomajik and steel, an inconceivably huge ring wrought of impossible strength binds the Core; a tethered star that pumps burning energy throughout the exo-sphere of the world.  Gargantuan vented columns and ship-sized cables direct the unfathomable amounts of energy generated; all crafted of some sleek grey metal embossed with geometric designs, impervious even to the Sect’s directed energy weapons.

The secrets gathered within would keep the Flame Sect studiously laboring over it for decades, but one wrong step could prove disastrous.  Unfortunately, the Outsider plague was nearing the terrifying levels that forced the Brothers and their people to flee their old world; using the Core, and the ancient technologies and magicks locked within it may be their only hope for survival.  Unfortunately, the artificial constructs left behind by whatever long dead race built this place did not see it that way.

Some very mean looking weapons wielded by very large, mean individuals.

Edit 12/19/11: Updated final

Quick Halo picture for a contest.

PS: DAT SPREAD!

So, I think I got it right this time.

Edit 12/17/11: got a sweet update coming after some feedback… and its been posted.

Came a ways from this…

So another weapon for the big ‘weapons comp’; just comps for now.  Probably will write a bit more fiction on it before I do detail.

12/13/11: Added the finished blade to the comp

Some rough silhouette concepts; easy to bang out while sort of watching something.

Edit: 12/04/11 Finished up the standard sidearm and Slayde’s custom sidearm.  Only like 5 more weapons and I’ll have a portfolio piece

Since I added the gun into this image I’ll just toss it in here as well.

The Sect Marksman Sidearm that Slayde carries has been heavily modified to fit his personal use.  Generally fitted with a 8-round cylinder and etched silven-tipped rounds, the Artisans of the Flame Sect have retrofit the weapon to make use of a bored 6-round cylinder that accepts rune-etched tungsten armor-piercing explosive rounds.  This custom ammunition requires a Magus to infuse each round with intense amounts of energy and etchings to bind it.  A psy-linked scope with several levels of magnification rests atop the sizable barrel and connects directly with Slayde’s armor for maximum accuracy.  This weapon was a gift from Brother Daedalius before the fateful mission into the maw of the Syllarian corruption.  Each power-infused round is capable of tearing asunder the immaterial bonds that bind Outsiders to this plane just as easily as through the thick, gnarled hide of a Syllarian.
