Prey Mantis IMPLEMENTED

[noaharts]

There soldiers that has sharp apendages for hands they can slice through kevlar and flesh
They can leap to high places and can slash twice (has 2 actions) and has sight awareness that they can sense any attacks

[Midonik]

I like the idea - this will fit right into the 3 turn slight elite anti infantry infantry space we've got.
For stats:
Cost: 3
Hp: 29
Armor physical/energy: 2/1
Power: 8 (physical damage)
Action: 2
Speed and sight: 3
Bonus: 150% infantry
Built in hatchery, tc

Keeping the rather low hp of insectoid units, it trades, in comparison to human stormtroopers, abilities in favour of much more damage and higher bonus, as well as some more armor. When compared to energy bladealphas, it deals more raw damage but loses the armor ignore. Those could probably hatch from queen's eggs at some low rate and also definitely be built using the metamorphosis tech method.

@Typhoon made this image, I think I would prefer them to be a little more humanoid, with one pair of legs less, and maybe a vertical, not horizontal abdomen.

[Anchar]

To be honest, the 4-legged version looks more colorful. And so insectoids are more like the henchmen of the king of bees from the cartoon Ventura brothers

[Anchar]

It may be worth making their legs so that they are bent backward as is usually the case with insects and not forward (at the knees).

[Midonik]

You might be right, we could go with that.

[Anchar]

Do they look like the soldiers in this image? or are they like ordinary insectoids? or do they have a unique image drawn by Typhoon (it seems to me that it is outdated and I would not want to work with it)?

[Midonik]

Go with Typhoon's design. It's not outdated. They are probably some genetical mutation so they can have a unique look.

[Midonik]

Wrong topic? Those are antmen warriors?

[Anchar]

Yes

[Anchar]

If I take the Typhoon image, I will change it so much that it would be better to immediately delete it and draw a new one.

[Midonik]

Do as you see fit
