Anyone see the Thunderbolt IIC?  It's awesome!  I'm hoping that's the Gencon Exclusive!


Thats a bit cruel to those of us that cann't make it to Gencon.     :'(



I can't wait to see it in metal but not as an exclusive.

Okay, you're right.  I really want a K2 Catapult and the L.E. Leviathan but it'll never happen.  Wouldn't want something as cool as a Thunderbolt IIC to be missed by so many people.

"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."

it would be the eventually part I have issues with.   [tickedoff]

I already have plans to incorporate it into my unit, custom IS variants to match the mini and a friend and I are already planning fan funding if IWM doesn't do it automatically.

Tomorrow is acceptable, Today is better, Eventually doesn't cut it.

http://ironwindmetals.com/d/node/1630 Rifleman IIC 8
http://ironwindmetals.com/d/node/1629 Rifleman RFL-7X

Just announced, 2 LE minis for the cons this year, both are jumping mechs, one is the Rifleman RFL-7X from 3085 and the other is the Rifleman IIC 8 from 3085. Looks like they also can go without the jump packs.

*blinks* OK...I am getting a lance of the Rifleman 7X...I need a phoenixed Rifleman, anyway..

Though, looking at the pictures, it seems that the RFL-7X..the jump plumes are an "optional"..I might only
put them on one of the mechs, and keep hte rest in the running pose.

The Rifleman IIC looks wrong somehow, while the 7X at least has one bent leg to give the impression of jumping. Not much work was needed to be redone for these sculpts. The 7X has the boulder removed from beneath the left foot and gets new arms and the jump pack. The IIC seems to have the torso reworked and new arms. I think I'll skip the opportunity to acquire either of these

I can understand people being tired of jumping mechs, but that Rifleman 7x just looks AWESOME!  Probably my favourite jumping mech of any.

Not a fan of look of either of the PP Riflemen, and jumping to boot. Ah well, money towards non-exclusives instead I guess.

I think the problem is that people are getting jaded on the jumping 'mechs...One or two was cool....but when they
KEEP doing them, every year...they are just not that exciting anymore. The best were the Jumping Hatchetman
and the DFA Jadehawk...after that? Just repetition. Can I have something like the K2 catapult or the Block II Leviathan
again, please? How about the Samurai from the OLD Aerotech cover? How about some of the other really dynamic poses
from recent art?There is so much they can do beyond just "Let's make it JUMP!"

Considering that the K2 Catapults still go for significant amounts when sold, and the Leviathan is never seen below the $150 bracket, I'm sure those few complainers would be silenced.

The Leviathan on IWM is horrible.  Absolutely horrible.  So they should replace it. 

The K2 Catapult is a really nice miniature that looks more like the original artwork.  The C4 that IWM currently sells is okay... but the K2 is awesome.  Especially if they could sell it with missile racks.
