We need more of those character minis.  A Daishi Widowmaker with Natasha would be great.

+1 for this idea. I can definitely get behind this.

Another idea may be a characters mech, it would be pretty simple. Just sculpt new parts and make up some well known characters infamous ride.
That's taken care of with the Bounty Hunter set coming out in August/September. There's also a set for Hunter's companions. These are not GenCon exclusives AFAIK as I've already pre-ordered mine.

OK, now if they did this I could live with another jumping mech.

please: no jumping mechs.

I don't know why there are so many people against jumping 'Mechs.

They are unique, dynamic, instantly recognizable, and a lot of fun to paint.  I would not mind another jumping model.  We are lucky to have them.

been used three years in a row, and now there's a regular sculpt in a jumping position. so yeah they're cool and we're luck to have them or whatever other reason, but let's get creative and shake things up. so, we're not against jumping mechs (in fact i don't think anyone said "i'm against jumping mechs" so i'm not sure where you got that idea), i have the hatchetman, but 3 years in a row is a lot, hence why we're saying shake it up.

**Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Mr Kotter, Mr Kotter!**

 ;D


Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyway, how about a jumping QUAD of some sort?  ??? You can't say it's ever been done, Officially anyway. Granted, there's not many to choose from. In my copy of HMPro, I only found the Snow Fox 2, Tarantula ZPH-1A, and White Flame WHF-3B. I guess there may be more, but I've never updated my HMPro, and I'm not about to dig through all my TRO's - I don't have TRO 3085 anyway, OR any of the XTRO's. Anyway, if they ARE going to do another jumper, why not a jumping Quad? Chances are, by this point in time, they've made their decision, the mini's been sculpted, reviewed, approved, and sent off to be cast already. We've got less than 2 months until Gen Con after all!  :o

Call yourself a Jade Falcon!

Sure I do. Which is why I'd be so fired up for a Kerensky Daishi. I'm especially into the part about the Thor with the leg sticking the leg towards the cockpit. You know, the leg with the two jump jets in it? ;)

I like my Wolf Khans medium well.  [brew]

Any of the named Daishis would be cool.  Or maybe Jaime Wolf's clan Archer done off the reculpt.  Gausszilla would also be a nice surprise.  So many interesting named units to choose from.

If you have to explain it, you didn't make it obvious enough in the first place LOL.

Love the idea of famous personality rides - especially if we get a character figure thrown in for good measure too!

Where's the fluff on this Bounty Hunter pack?

IWM never was that big on announcements. From time to time we will see a list here, but that is not a fixed schedule, neither. When new miniatures are up, they will be seen on the first page of the webshop/catalog.

If that is real, I wonder what is going to be going with it? A dossier pack or a AToW adventure?

i assume another dossier pack, since IIRC it was announced that there would be another set before year's end, and it would seem sooner than later since the release date is in and around august
