Title: New Lance Pack Idea
Post by: GRUD on 04 August 2023, 00:25:03
Yes, I've mentioned this before.  :grin:


We've had the new Classic BattleMaster several months now, as well as the new Classic Warhammer for a few months now.  By the end of this year, we can expect the new Classic Marauder!  :smilie_happy_clapping: :drinking01: :smilie_happy_thumbup:

So, how about a new, Classic Assault Lance Boxed Set?  With Classics of the BattleMaster, Marauder and 2 Warhammers!  I thought we'd gotten a WHM with Variant bits, but can't find it.  Maybe I'm thinking of the AWS-8Q/9Q, that came out at the same time as the WHM?   :embarrassed:  I was thinking we could have 2 Variant WHMs in the new Box Set.


Maybe for Gen Con 2024?  :wink:

The Warhammer (https://www.ironwindmetals.com/index.php/categories/cat-battletech/cat-bt-nr/product/battletech-20-5213) has been out longer then the Marauder.

About 15+ YEARS ago now, someone made an XL Document for me, to help me keep track of my minis.  It was "Rough Estimate" for some of them, and then the PC I had it on died.  :tongue:  I Finally got a new desktop PC, that had an external docking thing, and I plugged the old HD in and had access to everything again, including the XL file!  But it's several years out of date.   :sad:  I've since added SOME of my "New" minis to the file, but not all of them by any means.   :embarrassed:  Definitely one of those things you have to stay on top of if you want it to be Accurate!   :rolleyes:

The file has columns for (in order): Name, SN, tons, MIB Quantity, # Per Pkg, Subtotal, # Loose, Total, TRO, BattleDroids, Notes. Yeah, not sure Why I've got a Column labeled "BattleDroids", when I could just indicate that in the Notes.   :rolleyes: 

Separate pages for: Armor (with Elementals at the bottom), Aerial (in order: DropShips, JumpShips, Aerospace/Conventional Fighters, Helicopters/VTOLs, and Resin DropShips), Mechs (Including Museum Scale and BattleForce Scale at the bottom), Miscellaneous (in order: OOP RP Lance Box Sets, OOP RP Omni-Mech Box Sets, IWM Misc box Sets, IWM Project Phoenix Lance Box Sets, OOP RP Blister Packs, IWM Resin Buildings, IWM Resin Bunkers, Misc Medallions, and XMarx Resin Items), and a Summary page that shows me totals of everything.

I've questioned the "Totals" though. Does each LP count as 1 or 4?  The Bounty Hunter set only had 3 (2 'Mechs, 1 BA), so is that "1", or "3"?  :huh:  I just double-checked, and I Think it's Accurate.  Maybe.   :rolleyes:  The "MIB Quantity" and "# Loose" appear to add up when taking the "# Per Pkg" into account. Not sure WHAT the resin stuff counts as, or if it's even counted.   :shocked:

Love the idea of seeing the classic Ral Partha sets brought back with the newest sculpts, I know IWM are currently selling them with the Project Phoenix sculpts but either way a great idea.
