Technical Readout: 3055 brought us two examples of what looked like the Clans' take on the
Rifleman, the
Rifleman IIC and the
Glass Spider (
Galahad). Since we've already looked at the
Rifleman IIC, we'll look at the
Glass Spider (
Galahad) this fortnight. The
Glass Spider (
Galahad) like the
Rifleman is a fire support 'Mech and is described as an air defense 'Mech, which is backed up by the presence of the AWACS-style dome radar on top. Like the other Clan BattleMechs in TRO: 3055, it became Unseen and then Reseen. To learn more about it, see its entries in TRO: 3055 and
Technical Readout: Project Phoenix.
There has been a sculpt for each of the major
Glass Spider (
Galahad) variants, although two of them are out-of-print and Unseen:
- The original Unseen sculpt for the primary variant (20-624).
- The Unseen sculpt for the Glass Spider (Galahad) 2 (FT-009).
- The Reseen sculpt for the Glass Spider (Galahad) 3 (20-347).
If you have any painted, please share pictures! We'd love to see them! (There's only one painted example on CSO so we could use more pictures.)
Thank you for reading and especially thank you to those of you who will post!
Our next two fortnights will be:
- Inner Sphere (6/3): Firestarter (including the Firestarter OmniMech)
- Clan (6/17): Griffin IIC
