Are they going to be con exclusive or are they just debuting at GenCon? I'm guessing the former but figured I would ask.

They are just like any of the other items we have released in the past. They will eventually make it to the website. Except for the Clear Resin Exterminator. We will have what ever they can make out of the molds and thats it.

Images of the Limited Edition of Mortis standing and Jumping.

Sorry about the image quality, I will try for better picture tomorrow after work. I wanted to get something out there so you can see the mini.

Thanks, Speck. That was what I was assuming although I missed the Exterminator. Interesting. I wanted a Raptor II done that way but an Exterminator will work too.

That was one of the other mechs proposed. But there where some difficulties in doing so for that design the shelved it for now.

I REALLY hope the arms from the Mad Cat Mk II 4 will be in the scrapyard, they look perfect for making the Warhammer IIC 10

Won't make it to the con personally but after seeing the variants of the timberwolf and doloire... I will have to set money aside for them when they go up on the webstore.
At Comstar we listen. It's that simple.

I was hoping you meant something along these lines. Do the two new Mad Cats share the same torsos, sans the missile launchers/improved jump jets?

Pardon my ignorance, but where might I find stats for the Mad Cat Mk II 4 and 5?  I know TRO: 3145: Mercenaries has the Mad Cat Mk IV (with "Prime" through "C" variants), but I can't seem to find either a "Mad Cat Mk II 4" OR "Mad Cat Mk II 5".   :-\

Yes. Connection points are all the same, so if you wanted to use the revised torso with the original weapons, you could do that too (and say that the lasers were behind covers). I tried to get the most mileage out of it as possible; some things just weren't going to work, like a 6 or 3 variant due to the torso lasers, but the 4 lent itself to a quick build alongside the 5.

Is it safe to assume the pricing PDFs for GenCon will match Origins and Historicon's listed PDFs?  (I know Historicon is already happening, but they two seem to be identical).

I am merely trying to budget for Indy; quite a few models on the list I'm looking forward to plundering, but not at the expense of room and board ;)

Thanks for the info!   O0  I actually have that PDF.

Ahh, you can go 1 day without eating, can't you?  ;)  (Especially considering the cost of "Con Food"!   :o )

 :D


At least everything will be on the website within a few months, they just won't have that "Fresh Gen Con Smell" to them.   ;D

I posted a shot of one in the blister on Instagram.  Will try and get a better picture next week but it's hard since it's clear. Lol

+1, this is what the one that I want the most. Wish I any of them were close enough that I could go.

I picked up mine yesterday...now what color to paint it?

I wish I'd done better research (i.e., this thread) before Historicon as I probably would have made some different selections.

I believe it is spun.
Incoming fire has the right of way.

The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

Always remember that your weapon was built by the lowest bidder.

That's interesting. Were these announced elsewhere? Are these the Gun Trailers from TRO: 3145 Mercs? If so, will there both other variants made in the future?
Why not Zoidberg?

Gun trailer from tro 3145 mercs that's has the arrow IV. Then a cannon that can be used for artillery or such. Both turret option in blister and each have a trailer to go on.

I apologize if this isn't the place to ask, but since I saw it on the gencon page link today, I hope this is the place.

The dice being sold at Gencon, are they con-only or will they be available to retailers or online as well?

It would be better to ask in the Ask the Lead Developers. This sub forum is for Iron Wind Metals. The dice are from Catalyst Game Labs.
