Description

Update: Decided to texture it properly. Used two 2048px maps for colour and two more 2048px maps for bump.

Also added in the quick concept drawing I did and all the previous steps.

Fullview for details.

Technical Fluff:

Following the relative success of the powerful but expensive and rare M-76 Revenant in the Terminus, Earth based Hahne-Kedar Shadow Works was commissioned by Alliance Special Forces to create a weapon with similar characteristics, but with a lower cost and easier maintainance.

The result, the rugged MR-9 Storm Heavy Support Rifle combined the power of heavy semi-automatic battle rifles and the supressive fire of fully automatic and burst rifles while still retaining reasonable mid to long range accuracy in it’s burst and single shot settings.

Often referred to by Alliance Spec-Ops armorers as a bastard child of the M-99 Saber and a M-8 Avenger, the MR-9 is still an incredibly expensive weapon and at a loaded weight of 43Kg is heavier than many Anti-Materiel Rifles making it suitable only for specially augmented Alliance units.
