Title: Miniature of the Fortnight #22: Viper/Dragonfly
Post by: Xiwo Xerase on 31 July 2017, 22:39:56

(I'm sorry for the delay on this.  I got caught between work and the dreaded 504 error.)

This fortnight's 'Mech is another Clan Ghost Bear favorite from Operation REVIVAL, the Viper (Dragonfly).  Like the Fire Moth (Dasher), the Ghost Bear preference for this OmniMech makes sense since they were the invading Clan best known for using Elementals.

There have been two sculpts and a variant sculpt of the Viper (Dragonfly):

• The original sculpt (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/28/dragonfly-viper) released by Ral Partha in metal and resin (20-608).
• The resculpt (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/987/dragonfly-viper-resculpt) sold by Iron Wind Metals (20-364).
• The sculpt of the A configuration (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/1638/dragonflyviper-a), presumably based on the resculpt. (BT-012).

Please post any miniatures you'd like to share.  We'd love to see them!

And, as always, thank you for reading and a special thank you to those who post!

Our next fortnights will be:

• Inner Sphere (8/13): Jenner
• Clan (8/27): Gargoyle (Man O' War)

EDIT: Fixed scheduled Clan 'Mech

Nothing special here, but I have one, so I'll throw it into the mix.  CJF colors.
