Goth Bricks 2000
Revenant Sisterhood RD-8 Redeemer (walker mode)
After an extended period with the Scavrats, I really wanted to return to the Revenant Sisterhood. Black is my happy place, and the Sisterhood really is the focus of Dark Legacies.
This build took about 6 weeks to finish, including wait time for BrickLink orders. Serendipitously, one of those orders never arrived, which is how I ended up with the one grey/red highlighted “knee”. As is often the case, being forced to improvise often turns out a better result.
My goal this time around was a mech that could both walk and drive, but that was still vaguely plausible/realistic from a military perspective. I spent a lot of time experimenting with different tire and track designs until I landed with this. Crucially, the disc joints had to have the clearance to compress fully so that the Redeemer could drive in a fully supported squat posture.
Generally speaking, as an old school #battletech fan, many of my builds are also influenced by walker-style mechs like the Locust and Marauder. This time around though, you might see some Rifleman influence in the side torsos and main guns.
