Miniatures of the Fortnight #80: Hankyu and Cauldron Born

[Xiwo Xerase]

Poor, poor Clan Smoke Jaguar.  Each Clan in Invading Clans got two 'Mechs for their chapter.  The Smoke Jaguars hold the dubious honor of being the only Clan in that book whose 'Mechs were both reprints from another product, the Luthien scenario book.

Invading Clans (re)introduced players to the Arctic Cheetah (Hankyu) and Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron Born).  Both would also later appear in Technical Readout 3058.  Each of them have their own 'Mech of the Week article (Arctic Cheetah (Hankyu) and Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron Born)), so check them out if you want to see how to use them in game.

The Arctic Cheetah (Hankyu) has two sculpts:

• The Prime configuration (20-683).
• The C configuration (FT-014).

The Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron Born) has three sculpts:

• The original sculpt of the Prime configuration (20-758).
• The resculpt of the Prime configuration (BT-253).
• The sculpt for the A configuration (currently only available in the Bounty Hunter Companion 'Mechs pack (10-051)).

If you have any of these painted, please share pictures.  We'd love to see them!

As always, thank you for reading and especially for those of you who post!

Our next two fortnights will be:

• Inner Sphere (11/4): Locust
• Clan (11/18): Invading Clans: Diamond Shark Edition (Thresher and Piranha)

If there are any 'Mechs you'd like to see covered in future fortnights, please make a request in the scheduling thread.
