"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."

No choice here. How on earth are people supposed to field generic militia OPFORs without the Saracen? The S-tanks are practically the Vedettes of the "it's smaller than a Vedette" world!

Still hoping IWM will come out with a generic vee lance or company box so the rest of us can bulk out our conventional forces for cheap without getting distracted by all the high-end front-line stuff coming out these days...

Challenger X, I can always use more Challengers for my conventional forces.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

Woah, how is the Savage Coyote not winning this?  Guess people aren't ramping up for the War of Reaving which is coming out very soon!

Honestly, I could not care any less about the five options. I voted for the Challenger, though, as it is the only one I do not have.

Opted for the Supernova. First time a mini I really, truly wanted has cropped up in one of these votes.

I hate the Savage Coyote mini.
PITA to paint.
Great Mech to game with... but that mini is Not To My Taste.

Savage Coyote and Supernova? Dang, another poll where I already have the minis in question, with no need for either of them. Oh well. Here's hoping the vees come out in the end...

I need Saracens, heck I just need more vehicles in general.  I'm working on militia groups and this would be perfect.
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

I saw that the Supernova was ahead and while i want one I figured i'd cast my vote elsewhere. Voted for the challenger. looks like a cool tank.

Let's think... Wars of Reaving coming up... Homeworld Clans...  Out of those five, which would be best as a tie-in?

If you noticed on the IWM site, they will un-archive some items for new products like for the new starter PDF product and the Liao lance packs to go with the dossiers

Well, I'd like to think that the poll results show that people are thinking this way, but in this case I think it's more a case of "what I want" coinciding with "what would be good for the company".  It's a winner either way, so I'm not complaining.

that's a little different to what he was thinking of, since you have to buy the packs to get the mechs, you can't get them separately. IWM did do it for the starter pdfs, but this was only once and it doesn't mean they'll do it again, so not it's not 'official' policy i would imagine.
