Daishi411 · « **Reply #3 on:** 12 July 2011, 16:47:06 »

this is my most anticipated release of the summer, ever since i first saw them. i'm also hoping big time that those last few dossiers that were mentioned coincides with these guys and not something else

I see the same Cauldron Born, with new weapons. Having seen the vastly superior AFG Cauldron Born that's been in whatever limbo for years untold, all I have to say is that I Am Disappoint.

Ian Sharpe · « **Reply #8 on:** 12 July 2011, 17:38:10 »

AT least the Cauldy weapons look sharp. Liking the dual ERLL PXH as well.

AFG?

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #10 on:** 12 July 2011, 18:13:06 »

I believe AFG is a fan casting group that makes their own versions of CBT minis. Many are superior to IWM's.

ShockaTime · « **Reply #11 on:** 12 July 2011, 18:20:57 »

I don't know why, but I am most excited for that Javelin.

After years of waiting on that thing, I've given up. This may not be the resculpt, but at least it's going to get released. The resculpt is pretty much dead- or at least, if the project still has life, it's sadly quiet.

this is pretty much how i feel about it also, we occasionally see insane kangaroo paint one up, but that's about it, and it seems to be caught up in some man made limbo that know one actually knows what's going on in. i'm a big fan of variant mechs, so i'm fairly pleased to see the variant; would the new sculpt be cooler-yes, but i'll take the variant since it's coming

The Cauldron Born was always part of the set.
The Bounty Hunter Set are actually two sets. Bounty Hunter [Includes B. H. Mad Cat S Mech, B. H. Marauder II Mech, and B. H. Night Hawk Power Armor] and Bounty Hunter "Companion" [Includes Phoenix Hawk A, Cauldron Born A, Javelin-11D, and SHD-1Primitive Shadow Hawk]. The second one containing the Cauldron Born as well as the primitive Shadow Hawk (according to frpgames)

Never heard of AFG before. Could someone PM me a link? I would be interested in checking them out.

A) Australian Fan-Finance Group; a bunch of antipodeans who banded together to help get some units sculpted.

B) No website.

I find it hard to believe that they are not using the vastly superior AFG Cauldron Born to base this new BH Companion Cauldy on - I call it insane!

Thanks for the pictures since I too refuse to 'face the book'.

The first set makes sense to me because I can find the Bounty Hunter ties to the Mad Cat and Night Hawk PA and I recall the Marauder II tie-in. However, I can't find anything for the "Companion" set. Is there a sourcebook PDF or Turning Point I'm missing? I can appreciate, and even applaud, the 11D, SHD-1R, and Cauldron-Born as variants/minis to have sculpted but I can't find the Phoenix Hawk A in the MUL or in either TRO: PP or 3085. Also, I find it odd that the TRO: 3055 entry for the Falconer pilot MechWarrior Rebekah is apparently unused. So unless she's driving one of the other 'Mechs the rebuilt Falconer would have seemed to be a necessity for the set. Anyway, if it is merely a forth coming Turning Point it will likely make more sense to me.

Reinforce this positions (green on picture).
Madcat RE arms break to easy there.

There was a thread sometime back asking about the variants and it was said the Phoenix Hawk A was an error, but don't recall which variant it is (or if it was even said).
I believe the current plan is all the lance packs will get dossier products like the TR 3085 pack and the Liao Lance Packs as part of IWM and Catalyst working together on supporting those.

Thanks, that was the direction I was hoping someone would offer. I'd forgotten the 'Dossiers' and had been looking through the Battlecorps unit updates I had.

Maybe the PXH will be a new variant or they mean the 3M/3D/or best of all, 3K, the best of the 3050 PXHs.
