Maybe it will be a jumping version of the DA Goalie Atlas since it made its debut in the Davion TRO!

The Davion TRO (for 3145 at least) is not out yet...unless I'm mistaken, perhaps you meant the TRO 3085 Atlas AS7-K2? If it's not the one from TRO 3085 you are speaking of...then where is this "Goalie" Atlas you speak of found?

It and a new Black Knight (based on the MWDA/MW4 version) were teased on Facebook from the new TRO:Davion earlier this week.

Look at Reaper; they do their "Sophie" succubus each year in a new costume. Totally irrelevant to any game, but they're keenly collected by painters & collectors.

Knowing quite a few people who used one of those for their succubus PC... not completely irrelevant...

Not sure why jumpers are disliked... Now the Jumping Panther does have some... transportation issues...

I really hope they didn't go with the MW:DA head on the Black Knight.

I'm going to have to guess the Gen-Con exclusive this year WILL be the Kraken variant...this is only based on the fact that the Kraken Mini that has the Missile Launchers looks VERY close to production. This would easily be able to be made in to a production miniature...so I'll have to lay odds that this will be it.

What mini are you talking about? The only Kraken-3s I've seen in this thread or elsewhere are purely kitbashes, and very extensive ones at that. Are you drawing your info from an off-forum source?

Me, I would love to see a 28mm Fenrir this year. I don't know if the Hauberk did good but a 3rd option and first quad available would have get them.  O0

It's the one in the images above with the modified Mad Cat MK II missile launchers. It could easily be made in to a production mold.

Has IWM decided what this year's Gencon-exclusive mini is?


I've been told what it is, but all I'll say is that it's something "Super".  :D

or a 'super' heavy. personally i think that the ares would be awesome and fitting for what's going on in the fiction right now. I still have my clix ones and they look sweet so metal would be really cool!
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

wasn't one of the Royal Phoenix Hawk variants called super... something ?

nope,  checking TRO 3075, p169, that was Phoenix Hawk "special"


though a Rifleman II would be very nice (and super to boot)   [drool]




it couldn't be a Robotech "Super Valkyrie" LAM could it ?

Grud...don't you mean it will be a double "Super" treat for all??? As well as some people tossing out a "Word" or two on how happy they will be??? O:-)

I'm going to have to guess the Gen-Con exclusive this year WILL be the Kraken variant...this is only based on the fact that the Kraken Mini that has the Missile Launchers looks VERY close to production. This would easily be able to be made in to a production miniature...so I'll have to lay odds that this will be it.

I was wrong on the above...it's DEFINITELY not going to be the Kraken variant...so yes Psycho...you would have won the bet. On that note...build me one??? LOL
