I really like the new LAMs, they look primitive and fragile. I will likely pick up the Wasp, perhaps even the Phoenix Hawk.

I actually don't know what the other LAMs are... probably those WOB LAMs they did on Kickstarter... also good models.

Speck, any idea what the numbers will be like for the LAMs at the various Cons, or when they'll be available online?   ???  I'm sure "After Gen Con", but is there anything Definite yet?  I'm wondering if it is likely for the LAMs to "Sell Out" at any of the Cons.

Curious Minds on other sites would like to know!  ;)

:D

Since we do not know how well they will sell or which ones will be the hot ones, Origins is going to help determine that. I am not 100% on the counts, but I think at least 24 to 36 of each LAM at Origins.

Are they going to be con exclusive or are they just debuting at GenCon? I'm guessing the former but figured I would ask.

They are just like any of the other items we have released in the past. They will eventually make it to the website. Except for the Clear Resin Exterminator. We will have what ever they can make out of the molds and thats it.

Thanks, Speck. That was what I was assuming although I missed the Exterminator. Interesting. I wanted a Raptor II done that way but an Exterminator will work too.

That was one of the other mechs proposed. But there where some difficulties in doing so for that design the shelved it for now.

Pardon my ignorance, but where might I find stats for the Mad Cat Mk II 4 and 5?  I know TRO: 3145: Mercenaries has the Mad Cat Mk IV (with "Prime" through "C" variants), but I can't seem to find either a "Mad Cat Mk II 4" OR "Mad Cat Mk II 5".   :-\

Yes. Connection points are all the same, so if you wanted to use the revised torso with the original weapons, you could do that too (and say that the lasers were behind covers). I tried to get the most mileage out of it as possible; some things just weren't going to work, like a 6 or 3 variant due to the torso lasers, but the 4 lent itself to a quick build alongside the 5.

Is it safe to assume the pricing PDFs for GenCon will match Origins and Historicon's listed PDFs?  (I know Historicon is already happening, but they two seem to be identical).

I am merely trying to budget for Indy; quite a few models on the list I'm looking forward to plundering, but not at the expense of room and board ;)

At least everything will be on the website within a few months, they just won't have that "Fresh Gen Con Smell" to them.   ;D

I wish I'd done better research (i.e., this thread) before Historicon as I probably would have made some different selections.

I apologize if this isn't the place to ask, but since I saw it on the gencon page link today, I hope this is the place.

The dice being sold at Gencon, are they con-only or will they be available to retailers or online as well?

It would be better to ask in the Ask the Lead Developers. This sub forum is for Iron Wind Metals. The dice are from Catalyst Game Labs.
