I just got it today and it looks nice, but I'm wondering if it's mislabled? It seems to match the stats for the XNT-60.
-
It's labeled as the XNT-30 in IWM's online catalog: 20-482 (http://ironwindmetals.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=6248)
-
That's the old Xanthos mini. I'm talking about the new one that was just released and isn't in the IWM online store yet.

Ah, 20-5158, I forgot that announcement.

the XNT-70 is in 3145 New Tech New Upgrades Record Sheet PDF.
-
Both the 60 and the 70 are. The appearance of the mini seems to match the stats of the 60 (particularly the center torso LRM rack and mounting 6 secondary guns rather than 4) than the 70, so I thought I'd ask.

Maybe it's like some of the other minis that come with extra parts to make other variants?
I mean if the difference between the two is 2 secondary guns and a LRM rack, just don't glue them on :D
(But i've not seen pictures of this mini, so i'm talking straight outta my arse)
-
The LRM rack is part of the body, not a separate piece.
And I like to glue as many pieces onto my minis as possible, because I like mechs with more guns. >:D

Are you the guy I won a Lot of minis from off eBay several years back then? Among them was a Reseen Stinger, with SIX arms! :o
-
I don't go to that extreme. ;D

Please. That was obviously a converted Spider. ^-^

Yeah, it looks like a -60 to me, with no apparent options to make it a -70.

Yeah it is the -60, looks like we missed the few items to adjust from the source we were using. In the end it is still a great looking Xanthos.
-
Do we have pictures pretty please?

And that's the important part. :thumbsup:

Yes, please! +1

It looks a little like the bugs from Starship Troopers. I will try to get a picture later unless someone beats me to it.
-
I was going to put mine together tonight along with the Hawkwolf but i'm out of glue

Sorry for the delay and the picture.
Here it is.

Thank you!!
-
For those building her, I would attach the chin guns before the front legs...
And yes, I know that makes sense to most if not all. :)
-
That looks decent actually.
-
Pretty much like the dark age mini. It can also function as the 70 model with some mild file work
-
Hmm, i need get bigger base then. I recently got one of those XNT-70s myself but I've not assembled it. Is that hex bigger than standard one, even if you flip it upside own?
-
Looks like one of IWM's Large Hexbases.

That is I think a 40MM or 42. You could go for a taller stance and it may fit.

Well, Kuso! Now I HAVE to order FOUR of them. xp
Thanks for the pic! :thumbsup:

Wow...Is it me or is there some backwards parts compatibility there?
-

That it is. I'm not complaining, as I actually prefer the -60 over the -70. You guys did a great job with the sculpt. And if you ever come out with a -70, I'll buy that one, too.

What happened to the pic?? Its either not there anymore or not showing for me.
-
It isn't showing up for me either.

Fixed.

Can't wait to see it painted. Looks like a good mini.
-
I may have to buy one just to see if I can swap the legs back to the older model and replace the dinky ones it comes with.
