What's in the Pipeline 3: the Search for Speck

[Crimson Dynamo]

There's an awful lot of 'Mechs to do first.

One of the virtues of the fan funding pipeline is democracy of the wallet. If someone comes with cash in hand, it has a chance to go in tbe queue.

I, for one, can't wait to see what extremely rare, era-locked designs we might get from a renewed Fan Funding, while dozens of broadly usable 'Mechs/Vees/BA/Aero/others wither on the vine.

Is it possible IWM can handle a larger release schedule to accommodate fan funding?

It's a day ending in 'y' so I'm gonna remind everyone about the VP-1 Viper.

[Luciora]

It better vipe the vindows too.

[Weirdo]

Do that and I will start checking on cost on my end to determine the total need.

It's gonna take me a long, LONG time to set aside any real amount of cash, so don't feel rushed!

I hear you, bro. It's a balance I trust IWM to manage - Fan Funding has been on hold for a while, during which time we have been getting more 'Mechs, mainly.

And I just want to throw some kudos at IWM - planning some Black Friday purchases (hey, gotta start saving). And out of a list of 44 'Mechs on Early or Late Republic lists for the Capellans, Lyrans, and Davions that a) I don't already have, and b) look interesting (game statistics less important), IWM currently stocks 42 of the 44 as individual minis, with 1 (the Cadaver) available in a 4-pack, and only 1 (the Ursa) not available. That is pretty impressive! Thanks, IWM!

(While still wanting more vees & BA, thanks!  :smilie_happy_clapping: )

Any word on Gencon specials?

Fan Funding does help, especially since many of the costs that go into models has gone up in recent years.

It's a day ending in 'y' so I'm gonna remind everyone about the VP-1 Viper.

I need to check on that one if it has 3D assets to help the process out.

[Luciora]

If you opened a request up, it'll be funded for sure.

Any word on the Iron Cheetah and Rime Otter?

Any word on the Iron Cheetah and Rime Otter?

Yes, Iron Cheetah is in the process of being made available to IWM. Hoping to have in a release soon.

Rime Otter, I need to check on that one again.

Yay!

Just doing the Prime or are you planning any variants?

[Highlighter]

Rime Otter, I need to check on that one again.

Woohoo!  <3

[jimdigris]

Anything new for Gencon?

[Prometheum5]

Iron Cheetah is exciting news!

[Weirdo]

Yay for being a new unit!

[Highlighter]

Well, I'm sad that no one will commission me for an Iron Cheetah anymore...  :grin: But I'm so happy to finally get a canon model.  Can't wait to put it together.

I fully support this idea.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Any word on the Night Gyr D sculpt?

[Prometheum5]

I fully support this idea.

Somebody's going to make the damn Viper.

[worktroll]

Pokes money at screen ...

[Stormlion1]

Pokes money at screen ...

I can get behind another sculpt.

I don't know if anyone saw, but IWM announced on their Twitter the releases for GenCon:

Phoenix Hawk 1/3K
Regent A
Savage Wolf Prime/A

[Luciora]

Dang.  I'm going to need a bunch of those Phoenix Hawks.

The A is my least favorite Regent variant, but the P-Hawk and Savage Wolf are nice.

Wait, 1/3 of a Kilo of PHKs?  :shocked:

 :grin:

[Scotty]

No, kilo is abbreviate kg.  It's a Phoenix Hawk that's very close to absolute zero (1/3 of a degree Kelvin).

[Weirdo]

Curse you Double Heat Sinks!

Could be the distance to a PHK? "Phoenix Hawk ahead, 1/3 K"

Or that they'll have so many at GC, that stacked end to end they stretch 1/3 of a Kilometer?  :shocked:

Only if the license plate flips open.
