Isn't the Menshen in the pack getting new and different legs?

I don't think there is any resculpting of the Men Shen. The Helios, on the other hand, got both new legs & new missile launchers on top. It really looks quite nice.

New Helios parts.  Ooh, you got my attention.  I may have to pick up one of these packs after all despite having all of those minis already. ;D

Of course, the medallion wouldn't hurt, either.

I think I'll need to get this, need captured Liao mechs for a March Militia unit I have planned.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

Yes, they just can't be posted until the release of the packs! I'm told they are coming soon (as in, between today and the end of April...maybe). I need to build up some GenCon funds, so mine (I painted up the Heavy/Assault pack minis) are going on eBay as soon as the packs come out.

Oh, also...The Light/Medium minis are each featured in a new group of pilot dossiers. From the Heavy/Assault pack, only the Ti T'sang got a dossier. I believe the Light/Medium minis were given/sold to the main author by the artist that painted them up, CSO's Ogre.

I will try not to.  As for throwing it, I make no promises.  You never know when there might be someone that needs to witness the light of the Greater Humanity up REALLY close. :P

Awww, you mean you can't just paint them up in a CCAF scheme like the cool people do?

Sure I could always use some Opfor for my battalion of 1st Federated Suns Lancers. They do need target practice on occasion.  ;)

they've been up as 'coming soon' for a while now, but at least they have pictures now
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

Have you guys seen the light/medium pack painted on SCO today? I can't decide which i like better, the snake or the Sha yu. Ogre did an awesome job on them.
