Looks like my links are screwed and I can't get them to work in the new system.

Here is what you need to know:

1. I dropped the ball on this; I understood FF to be going full speed ahead and I love the program, so as soon as we were funded in stage 1, I started this thread.

this was all in error. This thread is not official.

2. I couldn't guess at the status of fan financing now, except that we'll probably do it again someday.

3. all the info you need is to be found in the IWM News and annoucements sub-forum, particularly the FF child board.

Thanks for your patience, but an hour is too long for me to spend fiddling with text editing tools right now.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman

Shouldn't this thread be in the "Fan Finance child board"?

That being said, my three suggestions are:
Wraith BA      TRO: 3145 Clans
Tyre ASF       TRO: 3067
Inquisitor II   TP: Irian
Why not Zoidberg?

If it were an official thread, it would be. But fan discussion is entirely fine.

It'll be up to Speck to handle any such official discussion, here or there.

With the Basilisk (Quad) already having been mentioned, I would nominate the:

-Celerity w/ variants
-Sarath w/ variants
-Trebaruna, if it means it finally gets onto the release list.

I'd also ideally like the AS7-K2 Atlas but I doubt that'd ever get much traction.

As far as I'm concerned you can start voting on the 6 subjects for the next round.

Wilco. Will do this in the IWM News and Announcements Thread.

Sounds to me like this is the official suggestion thread. Otherwise, it's pretty redundant to have a suggestion thread for the suggestion thread.
Why not Zoidberg?

This is not the official Fan Finance Round 2 Suggestion thread. That will be created in the Fan Finance sub forum later this fall. After talking with Mike before GenCon he wants all of out back log of web only items to be cleared up before another round of Fan Finance is opened. Plus when round 1 is completed we will be going into the cool down period so that we can get all of the unreleased web only items out. So keep an eye out in the Fan Finance 2.0 Subforum for the official thread.

I suggest the following:

           Bakeneko
           Black Wolf BA
           Cuchulain BA

I would really really like to see the Bakeneko, but we need more BA models and I fear that fan financing will likely be the only way that we get them.

How the hell did I forget the Anzu?  Also that one.  In fact that one if I only get one vote (when the vote matters).

Gallowglas GAL-3GLS...
I wouldn't normally suggest a variant, but I love the art (and tabletop brutality) of the 3GLS, but the model for the -1GLS is so scrawny it upsets me. :-(

Schildkrote Line Tank.
Gotterdamnerung.
Koroshiya Aerospace! (what a beauty!)

Definitely second the Leonidas & Bakeneko BA too.
