Took some pictures to let people see how they compare with their brethren.

Griffin

I just did the first and current for the Catapult.

Oh, the Catapult II looks great!

Thanks for sharing these!

Are the Griffins on the same base size? The -1A on the left looks bigger, but it may just be perspective.

Thank you for sharing those. Now, where is my wallet... :D

Any chance you could do comparisons with their AGoAC brethren & sistren? That's the main thing I'm wondering, I admit.

The Primitive Griffin is bigger than the rest. The PP one is skinner and smaller.

I dont know... I kinda miss the old Catapults long, sexy, legs.... ;)

Here you go.

And in case you want to know about magnetizing a Locust like I am.

worktroll · « **Reply #11 on:** 10 June 2020, 00:58:49 »

Many thanks! The Cat looks a little smaller, but the others are right on.

Luciora · « **Reply #12 on:** 10 June 2020, 01:23:25 »

And, it works well magnetized.

Luciora · « **Reply #13 on:** 10 June 2020, 01:56:54 »

Works well, even threw in a SRM4 version based off the LRM5 version.

MarauderD · « **Reply #14 on:** 10 June 2020, 11:21:54 »

OMG, I'm so delighted by the quality of the new sculpts over the old. Wow, the new stuff looks so phenominal!

Snake Eyes · « **Reply #15 on:** 11 June 2020, 00:48:12 »

:o OMG, we're actually getting the LRM-5 and SRM-2 Locust

Luciora · « **Reply #16 on:** 11 June 2020, 01:05:58 »

The LRM and SRM ones in the collage are actually customized from spares from my bits box, but it's possible Speck may have other Locust variants coming out in the future.

:'( Now I is sad.

Brilliant customization! :thumbsup:

seriously though, i would love to see the other locust variants.....BTW very cool mods :thumbsup:

I am not pleasantly surprised with the metal Catapult. Griffin and Locust are spot-on size wise, but the metal Catapult is like 15% smaller. That's a shame really.

I'm having a hard time understanding why people get so hung up on scale... battletech miniatures have *never* been one standardized size, and even the plastic locust is gonna come to at least chest-height compared to a current Atlas or so.

Are we so divorced from our imaginations that 30-50 foot tall war machines that aren't scaled perfectly (indeed, exact height measurements don't exist for the lions share of the battletech pantheon), are of no use to us?

Excessively large miniatures stand out. Slight scale issue? Whatever. Massive? Ugh. See the Templar as a good example, judging by the mini's size, it should be at least a 100-ton design or even a superheavy. It just looks so out of place among others. Had i known that, i would've never gotten one.

agree. the templar is one of many from the 3060-3075 range where a sense of scaling got lost in the woods. the stiletto, warlord, jagermech iii, and some of the project phoenix units like the kraken, viper, phoenix hawk iic, and behemoth are particularly bad. this is when we also got the mighty targe.

Proper scale on the table is just more aesthetically pleasing.
