Round 1 2015 Fan Finance Suggestions
« on: 10 January 2015, 12:44:25 »
Suggestions for 1st Quarter is now open. I will add peoples suggestions that are can be done to this first post.

Just mechs and vehicles and variants of them are open for the trial run of the Fan Finance relaunch.

I will add this here as well, but small variant parts (just a arm or legs) and omni parts are not part of this trial period. When I know more about there future inclusion I will announce it.

Since there is only so much room for the poll, please limit your suggestions to 3 in your post.

Based on your response to the "Iron Wind HPG" thread, may I suggest the Hyper Pulse Generator?

If that is allowed and does not cause too much trouble for you.
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.

I have two suggestions:

First, the BL-X-KNT Black Knight “Red Reaper” from XTRO Most Wanted.

Second, a Flashman resculpt that matches the attached art. It's the art from TRO 3025(revised). This would give the Flashman much-needed elbows, as well as limb proportions that don't make painters cringe.

New legs for the Devastator that aren't in a akward running pose. Maybe standing or something and the Von Rohr Mech.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

Seconding the Red Reaper. I'll also add the FLE-14 Flea and ZEU-6Y Zeus from XTRO:Succession Wars. And, as long as we're making a wishlist, how about the Swordsman from Primitives IV.

That will be done separate from this project.

If you are asking about the original Ost mech they can not be done as of now. Closest thing to Ost mechs is the upcoming Ostwar.

Acknowledge and thanks Speck.

I do not buy much terrain normally (I usually play tabletop on hexmaps) but that HPG looks really good and I would like to own one.

I will suggest the Destrier and its Ballista Artillery Trailer. If I read the rules on large support vehicles correctly, they would have to be two separate sculpts since the vehicle and the trailer each take up a hex.
Why not Zoidberg?

All the BAs from the TRO 3145 series :)

Forget it, just noticed that BAs are not part of the trial period.


First, the BL-X-KNT Black Knight “Red Reaper” from XTRO Most Wanted.


I will third that and add the GM-FL Pompier from the same TRO.

I'd second the Flashman.  The art for it that Weirdo posted would be preferable.  I'd find some money to toss at that

Also a Gunslinger that matches Plog's 3055u art would be awesome :)

This!  Its a beautiful looking design and I'd love to get one of these for my collection.   [drool]

How about the Cyllaros and Harpagos?
Unless these are already firmly part of the "to be done" catagory.  We've got the Arion light QuadVee on the release list for this year, so I would be really excited to be able to add the medium and heavy QuadVees in order to create a QuadVee trinary!  This has the added advantage of likely generating multiple purchases (I know I would want ten of each, in order to do a full Star in either Vee or Mech mode). 

Finally, I'd love to see the Dasher II (TRO:3085) done.

I'm keen to agree with Weirdo. The Flashman, as it stands now, is not only ugly and not try to the art, but a real pain in the but to store if you want the arms to look like they're shooting at anything. A mini with elbows would be greatly appreciated.

Count another vote for the Red Reaper.  I'd also put a good chunk behind a Hel and Grand Summoner.  Especially the Grand Summoner.
