These are some Mechwarrior clix hover tanks I painted up and I'm thinking about using them as small two man tank destroyers. They are a tad on the small side but for a vehicle designed to be dropped or transported from orbit you would expect them to be a little small. In my mind they are like those small light tanks designed for the Air Assault Divisions in the 60's and 70's. In WW2 they used to recruit short guys for manning the ball turrets in B-17s and B-24s. I figure they did the same for these machines, recruiting short guys, dwarves, women and maybe even amputees to pilot these things.
It is a light tank but has a heavier chassis to mount the larger cannon. Which has been modified (Accelerator) for greater range and accuracy. It also mounts a heavy machine gun for self defense against infantry.
This is another mechwarrior tank (Condor) that has been enlisted into the service of the Terran Alliance Marines. It will serve as a one man "fighter" tank.
It is fast, though not as fast as a grav tank, an can carry a good mix of weapons for both the anti-armor role and the anti-personnel role. It is often teamed with the STuG X as a hammer and anvil team. The STuG X forms a firing line and pounds the enemy while the Peregrine moves quickly around the flank.
These tanks are also more mechwarrior clix vehicles and serve as small on man scout vehicles.
The Kestrel is a small, light and fast scout vehicle. It has weaker than normal armor but a larger than usual engine giving it great speed and agility. It is armed with a twin mount missile launcher to ambush targets of opportunity.
The Kestrel XP is also small light and fast but armed with twin heavy machine guns it accompanies the regular model Kestrel and protects them from infantry
Size comparison with the CDF Hauler truck.
Size comparison with the Hauler and FAV, Front
As you can see, the vehicles are on the small and light side but could work for very light, air-mobile attack vehicles.
