As we start to wrap up the Operation REVIVAL OmniMechs, we come to one of two candidates to end it with a bang. Or a boom. Or 'Mechs that go boom quickly if they don't get you first. That's right, this fortnight, we're looking at the
Hellbringer (
Loki), a favorite of Clan Jade Falcon and other people who feel "Do you feel lucky, punk?" should apply to them as well as to their opponents. And, sadly, snark is all I can provide (beyond what's in the TRO) so go to the
'Mech of the Week article to learn more.
- Like all REVIVAL OmniMechs, the original sculpt of the Hellbringer (Loki) was released in metal and resin by Ral Partha (20-601).
- And like all REVIVAL OmniMechs, Iron Wind Metals later released a resculpt (20-326).
- Iron Wind Metals also released a sculpt for the C configuration (BT-010), which looks based on the resculpt.
- And the first modern intro box contained a plastic premium sculpt Hellbringer (Loki), which also appears to have been based on the resculpt.
MechWarrior Dark Age would later give us what would become a worthy successor, the
Hel (
Loki Mk II), which has three miniatures released by IWM:
- The Prime configuration sculpt (20-5142)
- The A configuration sculpt (BT-408)
- The B configuration sculpt (BT-415)
Please feel free share any
Hellbringers or
Lokis you have painted.
Thank you for reading. And a special thank you to those of you who will post.
