Description
This is another in the series of redraws of BT machines that may have slightly "missed" the first time. Again, this is a machine I drew, but my first drawing of it wasn't the first illustration of the machine. Sam Wood got the first stab at the blood kite in FM: Crusader Clans iirc, and that was the image my first attempt came from as well.

A lot of the machine's first looks worked for it's backstory. It was a second line Frankenstein with it's esoteric role outline and lack of oversight leading to a somewhat bizarre look. I did like that original's chonky floating armored sections and the preponderance of weapon mounts. But, from my first illustration of it you could see some things weren't as i thought. I had though the cockpit was torso style like the madcat and many others. The LL on top being the torso one and the lower one actually being the head mounted one. Plus, many of the weapons were just a bit out of hand relative size-wise. Some of the jointings and the legs were just a little too much too.

So, here we have something of a calmed down Kite. Many of the weapon systems still might appear large, but you can write some of that off as assault armored housings for the etc. The legs and shoulders retain some of the originals uniqueness but perhaps a bit more solidified.
