MWO Style Owens OW-1 for BattleTech

thingiverse

<b>Changelog:</b> <i>Removed all other variants of the file Replaced primary file with fixed and printable STL.</i> This is my attempt at making a modernized Owens OW-1 for the BattleTech Tabletop game. This model uses assets ripped from Pirahna Games Studio's MechWarrior: Online game. I simply arranged them to look like a Owens and stuck it on a Hex Base so that it would be compatible with the Tabletop. I have yet to print this, more images will come once I have the chance, but in theory it should work without too much issue. The Owens is intended to be an OmniMech upgrade of the Jenner BattleMech. The intended role for the Owens is as a cavalry 'Mech that can move along the enemy lines and designate targets for bombardment with Arrow IV artillery attacks. The Owens is a strong spotting unit for artillery and Semi-Guided LRMs as well as a point 'Mech for C3 lances with its permanently mounted TAG laser designator and C3 Slave unit. The Owens is also outfitted with a permanently mounted Beagle Active Probe that allows the 'Mech to detect hidden enemy units. The Owens has a top speed of 129.6 km/h and is protected with seven tons of armor. The 'Mech's unique mix of speed, armor, and electronic warfare equipment make the Owens a valuable asset in urban and dense woods or jungle environments where it can find an enemy unit that is hidden, designate them for an artillery strike, and then leave the area at high speeds. The primary configuration of the Owens is meant to stay at stand-off ranges when possible using its two LRM-5 launchers. If forced into close range combat, the Owens can bring its Medium Laser and two Small Lasers to bear.
