Miniature of the Fortnight #52: Marauder IIC
« on: 26 September 2018, 20:48:47 »
Once upon a time, some Clan leader approached the scientists and techs and said "Build me a better Marauder."  So they did.  And they created the Marauder IIC and the leader saw that it was good.

It's not necessarily what canonically happened but it's the best story I have.

Anyway!  In Technical Readout: 3055, we got the first of the IIC 'Mechs.  One of them was a revamp of the iconic Marauder and it really was good.  Maybe.  It comes down to personal taste.  If you'd like to form your own opinion, its 'Mech of the Week article is a good place to start.

Like the other IIC 'Mechs in TRO 3055, the Marauder IIC joined the ranks of the Unseen, and then the Reseen with the release of Technical Readout: Project Phoenix.  And, like several of the Clan Unseen, it only has two sculpts, the Unseen one and the Reseen one.If you have any of these painted, Unseen or Reseen, please share!  We'd love to see them!

As always, thank you for reading and a special thank you to those of you who post.

Our next two fortnights will be:
  • Inner Sphere (10/8): JagerMech and JagerMech III
  • Clan (10/22): Horned Owl (Peregrine)

One of the few Reseen that I actually prefer over the Unseen version.  My one and only Marauder IIC 2.  I picked the color scheme from something I saw on Camospecs, but I don't remember what faction it was.  I want to say Blood Spirit, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong. ;)

This one? (Clan Blood Spirit, Upsilon Provisional Galaxy)

It could also pass as for a Legion of Vega 'Mech, if you were so inclined.

Hey, you found it! :)  That was the one.  I wasn't quite into doing canon schemes yet, but I saw that one and liked it.  It generally stands in as an Inner Sphere Marauder or Marauder II for me. ;)

Is that a MAD II torso for the HAG MAD IIC?
