Your warhammers found their way onto my terrain board at PAX15.

Also, CSO's Wackrabbit was at PAX15 and painted another one up, too.

And it is a beautiful terrain board to play on as well. Glad I was there and saw Wackrabbit as he painted the 3rd Whammy.

I can't wait till they start selling these things to the general public. Their awesome looking.

I've been thinking Hammerhands could be modded with Hector arms to resemble this. Though i think the Hector's arms though resembling the new Hammer's arms maybe too big for the Hammerhands. Except the legs wouldn't work in this case.

Thanks for sharing!

Anyone know the eta on these?

Weirdo · « **Reply #63 on:** 15 June 2017, 16:08:40 »

There is no eta.

It's been two years so we can infer there's been serious financial difficulty or perhaps some legal hurdles that have been delaying release. But, all good things come to those who can wait. And Battletech fans are good at that.

We can infer nothing. You choose to speculate, that's a shame.

Given the persistent radio silence, speculation is inevitable.

Weirdo · « **Reply #67 on:** 17 June 2017, 15:03:38 »

It's not, and I will always expect better of people.

A reasonable enough thing to desire, despite the rise of social media and the misinformation merrily spread on those.

How about starting a new thread regarding new classic minis vs necropost.

Doesn't seem necessary, since this thread has been reactivated and there do not seem to be strict rules against thread necromancy on this forum.

ActionButler · « **Reply #71 on:** 17 June 2017, 20:48:35 »

Necromancy is not, strictly speaking, against any rules. Forum rules, anyway, I don't speak for the laws if nature. I think they have their own modrration staff.

If people want to dabble in the dark arts of communing with dead threads, though, just remember to stay on topic.

Was there any sign of new Classics at Origins or they say anything being there at GenCon 2017?

Black_Knyght · « **Reply #73 on:** 22 June 2017, 01:47:33 »

Beyond teaser tidbits or the occasional picture, when it comes to the NuClassics I wouldn't recommend holding your breath...

Unless you want a Shadow Hawk (2H or 2K), or an Ostscout.

No sign of them at Origins that I saw. IWM did say they would have a con special of some sort for GenCon, but I think it was a Dark Age product of some variety. I didn't specifically ask any of the CGL folks, but you can bet your bottom dollar that, if nothing shows up, I will be asking about it at the What's up with Catalyst event at Gencon.

There's no shame in drawing reasonable inferences from the facts we know about a tabletop game... geez lol.

The only fact is that they are not being released at this time. There are no reasonable inferences to be made from that other than they are not being released at this time.

SteelRaven · « **Reply #78 on:** 26 June 2017, 12:25:32 »

It's more likely that CGL still wants new plastic minis for the new starter/intro box but got held up along with everything else during the recent reorganization in management.

Wrangler · « **Reply #79 on:** 26 June 2017, 21:08:01 »

Is entire CGL organization getting reorganized?

Just the BattleTech line.
Ie. The important parts of CGL :).

Alex Keller · « **Reply #81 on:** 24 July 2017, 10:29:55 »

And... My (and others') reasonable inference that legal hurdles were preventing the release of these minis was proven correct. You can apologize at any time, Cache. ;)

SteelRaven · « **Reply #82 on:** 24 July 2017, 12:31:24 »

Yeah, that's nothing really something to cheer about.

Sartris · « **Reply #83 on:** 24 July 2017, 13:10:37 »

i'd rather have concrete bad news than 1000 voices speculating about potentially bad news

Can we leave the "nyah, nyah, told ya so" till later? Given what's going on, it seems in extreme poor taste right now.

How cute. Show up with doom-saying speculation and no evidence, kid, and more than a few of us are going to challenge you on it. Especially those who understand the damage that it does not only to the game, but to the community. And we won't apologize for it.

ColBosch · « **Reply #86 on:** 24 July 2017, 16:19:29 »

Any delay due to Harmony Gold is limited to this year, as they didn't send their first angry letter until mid or late December. The new Warhammer still took too long to come to market.

Classy response.

I'm a former intelligence officer and an attorney with experience in civil and patent litigation. I made a reasonable inference based on the facts publicly known to everyone, and you tell me I'm wrong. Your suggests that we cant even make a reasonable inference. I'm trying to change your perspective here, friend. We're adults. I admit when I'm wrong all the time. We should encourage each other, not shut others down.

And yeah, I'm not happy about these developments. No Battletech fan is. But at least try not to discourage others from voicing their opinions. Especially since some of them may have a different perspective.

Take care.

I acknowledge your worst case scenario came true but I would hope your colorful experience would teach a little tact. The ;) was poorly timed at best considering the Wammy's just got censored once again.

Do we have something official on that?
