See the Annoucement for more details.

I have more Web only items that I will be posting next, I wanted to get up what I had ready.

[faithless]

Thank you. Those parts look great.

[speck]

Thank you. Those parts look great.

There are Heavy Lasers as well, but they got missed so they will be up later on.

They do look great in person.  ;D

[Maingunnery]

Very smart business move, we will be able to use these to customize the KS minis?

[Luciora]

I see some parts restocking in my future!

[jimdigris]

Speck, any electronics (ECM, probe, Artemis)?

[Sartris]

Making missile variant scorpion tanks just jumped up my priority list

[speck]

Yes, they are not complete yet. Need to circle back to them. They are on the list to get taken care of like the Heavy Lasers that I missed.

Please don't forget a CEWS for that set.

I do not believe that was part of the original scope when the parts were sculpted.

If these parts sell well, more parts could be completed like these.

I accidentally ebay'd some minis that are missing all kinds of parts, so I am pumped to wander the scrapyard.

Also (not that it matters, but) I have really come around on newer sculpts.  I bought a few dark age and resculpts, and while the atlas resculpt looks like it's going to screw the 80's atlas's head off like a bottlecap, they are fun to paint and have a lot of nice detail. They can be hard to build, but you can make them look pretty dynamic and cool.  The dark age ones I am especially keen on, the wolverine, the catapult, and the raven. Thanks for the cool minis!

[Weirdo]

The GRF-1N Giffin? :D

[Valkerie]

Thanks to everyone at IWM for putting all those juicy little bits up.  8) :thumbsup:

Has anyone told Worktroll yet?  :D

[Renard]

1A and 1N are awesome, chunky sculpts that I highly approve

[Snake Eyes]

Just saw these on IWM, very cool :thumbsup:

A couple additions i'd like to see is round/barrel versions of the missile launchers, maybe the RAC 2/5 ACs.

Like the "barrel o' (flying) monkeys" launcher on the shoulder of the new Summoner?

There are the Generic Missile Launcher and plates, OP-097 and OP-098.

take Probe and ECM, Glue them next to each other

Yes exactly  :thumbsup:

[Charlemagne]

A great deal of thanks to whomever took the time to label not only the individual pieces in the pics of the sprues, but also to label the different variant mechs each pack makes. The effort is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Speck, those will work just fine :thumbsup:

Oh, I seen'em. Most excited about the HAG parts - I've got lots of missile pods, but those were challenging.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Now, which parts should someone get in order to turn the new Catapult into a C3 model?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Absolute genius idea!

[worktroll]

Now, which parts should someone get in order to turn the new Catapult into a C3 model?

This is, to me, the downside of the approach taken.

You'll need to buy an OP-110 XXL Launcher Plates (has the Arrow IV launcher, and an OP-112 XXL IS Launcher pack. As long as you don't mind having assymetrical pods. If you do, you need to buy two OP-112s.

If you want a Catapult K2, you need to buy two OP-102 IS PPC packs, because there's only one of each size in a pack, and you need two. Plus you either need existing bitz to build the boxes the PPCs sit on (I'd suggest the XL packs in OPP-112), or face them on the existing missile pods.

I kitbash & customise extensively. I'd much rather have had each pack be 1 thing - eg. three Arrow-IV plates, two XXL IS pods, four standard IS PPCs, four Clan Medium Pulse LAsers. Yes, you'll rapidly build a bitz box, as you continually overbuy to get those two bits you need and all the others you had to get.

Still, IWM's putting their dollars on the line to release these, and they're welcome. For my two C-bills, though, it could have been better organised.

We have parts for that already sculpted and working on getting done for release. Stay tuned.

[Weirdo]

Hmm... With bits like these, maybe I can finally finish my Goliath-6M kitbash. Right now, it's nothing but a Reseen Goliath cut down to a flat top, and a Gauss Rifle pried off a Highlander IIC, both having been on my desk so long that I think they're undergoing sedimentary compression.

There had to be a compromise in order to get Mikes okay for the project. He did not want a ton of SKU’s which it could have been easily. So went with grouping weapon types and the plates by size. Combined the launchers into two SKU for each IS / Clan versions.

[worktroll]

Figured it would be a business reason, and totally get that it's Mike's call.

Have you considered missile "face plates"? Eg. the tubes, but with a rim around them? Not all launchers sit on pods sitting externally, and putting a missile plate "bare" is going to look odd.
