Swallow and Narukami would be great.. One because is a WiGE with a ton of ME262 vibes and the other is a menacing tank.

Edit. Added an extra N to Narukami :'(

Series? Did you mean the 3145 TRO series?

Sartris · « **Reply #9 on:** 02 February 2023, 15:33:10 »

speck listed the gossamer so i assume it includes 3145

jimdigris · « **Reply #10 on:** 02 February 2023, 16:23:37 »

We can call it the "Just before the ilClan Era" TROs. :thumbsup:

Seconding the R10.

Valkerie · « **Reply #13 on:** 03 February 2023, 01:47:43 »

I will second the Narukami and add the Gurzil.

worktroll · « **Reply #14 on:** 03 February 2023, 02:34:08 »

In principle, I'll support any that aren't limited to small numbers of factions - eg. no FedSuns-only, no Falcons-only.

However these are pretty widely available:

R10 - about time we had an omni-APC, one squad in, one hanging onto the roll bars!
Gossamer - just looks cute, and we could use some new VTOLS
Hadur - give the Arrow Regulator some competition
Ballista - even if it does die off post-Jihad, that's still plenty of time
Sekhmet - looks good!

Sorry, Narukami is DC-only and Red Kite is FWL-only, which is very limiting, and the Hanse is stupid ;)

Having a Strix would be neat, it's a cool design.

Definitely want some Gun Trailers—ideally a base trailer and then a series of separate guns that fit on top for easy magnetization.

Would definitely find use for a Shun.

Could use a Narukami.

The Savior would be a wonderful objective/campaign piece.

Predator Tank Destroyer with alternate gun barrels.

This suggestion comes with a guarantee of a pledge if it moves forward.

I've been waiting for this game piece since I discovered BattleTechnology and again since 2013.

Jal Phoenix · « **Reply #23 on:** 03 February 2023, 12:31:05 »

If I can't have a Destrier or Teppo, then give me a Bulwark!

GRUD · « **Reply #24 on:** 03 February 2023, 15:52:38 »

Boreas, Cyllaros, Harpagos and Notos! :thumbsup:

What? They're QuadVEES after all! :D

Weirdo I see what you did there . . .

Gossamer VTOL
Kruger
Predator
Pixiu
Kruger
Shun VTOL
R10 (worktroll has forgotten the Bolla?)
Kruger
Kinnol (how is this not already done?!)
Narukami- it is not going to stay DC exclusive with DD's results
Kruger

Ardent Fury · « **Reply #28 on:** 03 February 2023, 20:31:34 »

If we're including quadvees, definitely the notos

Otherwise the Swallow or Fensalir

CranstonSnord · « **Reply #29 on:** 03 February 2023, 23:35:48 »

Lol, if the quadvees were available last year, we would have put some in the Gen Con Bloodright, since it was Hell's Horses.

Death_from_above · « **Reply #30 on:** 04 February 2023, 03:48:24 »

By my count, that puts the Pixiu, Swallow, R10 and Narukami in the lead with 4 individual votes each.

worktroll · « **Reply #31 on:** 04 February 2023, 04:47:41 »

Still need to point out that the Pixiu and Narukami are very limited by faction availability.

And Colt Ward, didn't forget the Bolla - but availability just WoB/Republic. The R10 is the omniAPC for the rest of us :)

Death_from_above · « **Reply #32 on:** 04 February 2023, 05:23:52 »

On top of that, the R10 would lend itself well to a dual build with a pair of turrets (Prime & A)

.. boards the Damnation Alley train and adds the R10 to suggestions.

worktroll · « **Reply #33 on:** 04 February 2023, 14:17:53 »

I'm totally on board that Fan Finance is a gateway to ~~powers some consider unnatural~~ getting minis with limited appeal into existance. The Raider wasn't exactly something everyone was lusting for, amiright?

But if we're looking at Dark Age vehicles as a class, I'd expect uptake to be better with generalist designs, with the possibility of getting a few funded. Except it may be necessary to wait until the Mercs KS has dropped; I doubt I'm the only one hoarding hobby budget for that.

The thing I suggested that isn't the Kruger. :)

Jal Phoenix · « **Reply #38 on:** 04 February 2023, 17:20:54 »

I think that things which don't already have an existing MWDA mini should take precedence. If someone wants an R10, it's easy enough to find one and pop it off its dial, for far less than the cost of a pewter mini.

worktroll · « **Reply #39 on:** 04 February 2023, 17:49:12 »

R10 is unfortunately massive - bigger than a metal Behemoth or Ontos (can do pics).

I confess I picked up a bunch of them, because their turrets are perfect for converting Saladins to the TAG/SRM variant. I keep meaning to turn the hulls into subs, eg. the Moray.

Mixed emotions on not covering those with a DA mini - while I did buy heaps a decade or so ago and am still using up the horde, availability is not that great - you can find them, but the prices are rising. And I think Demo Agents can't use DA minis in official games. In the meantime though I still use them.

I've been spoiled with DA Skadis and Yashas, but could support them. The Red Kite is pretty limited distribution (League and Wolf only)

True, and we considered it for the Grand Melee, but it wasn't good enough to compete with the field of Medium mechs.

Kojak · « **Reply #45 on:** 08 February 2023, 17:34:12 »

Pixiu or Hadur

Hellraiser · « **Reply #46 on:** 08 February 2023, 17:49:05 »

I'd love to see a Zahn. Love the Aliens APC but a bus aesthetic.

VTOL love too, especially the Lamprey, DI Multipurpose and Marten (cause it looks like a Ferret). Zibler too.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #57 on:** 10 February 2023, 13:15:53 »

As was mentioned the Zibler has been done.

Lamprey makes me sad . . . the MWDA one has the perfect Hind look, the TRO art ruins that, I would hope a mini looks closer to the MWDA mini than the TRO art.

Talpini · « **Reply #58 on:** 10 February 2023, 13:45:26 »

Ah yes, Zibler done and discussed... Best pick one up so.

I like the dopey Lamprey, but could go either way...

I agree w/ both comments.

But more w/ the 1st.

All need metal eventually, but, the MWDA minis should take back burner when it comes to priority.

And have I mentioned the Ferret is still waiting since 3026? :) hehe.
