Another public image.

Nice!

It's hard to tell from this angle but it looks like the cockpit on the Orion is more angular then the wip concept art.

Actually like the current IWM sculpt. The angles remind me of certain tanks. At the same time, I really like how this new model looking similar to the Primitive Orion. A real beast of a 75 ton machine.

Still not a Longbow i like. Would prefer MW4-like looks (the original mini is too much of a "Star League potato"). Then again, whatever, not a big fan of the 'Mech anyhow, the Catapult, Crusader and Archer are enough.

The Bushwacker and Orion are looking great.

The Trebuchet... okay i guess. Arms seem a tad bulky but i think the angle may not be the best here either.

Love the new concept art! Keep the images coming.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #7 on:** 01 March 2020, 14:03:24 »

Cool images. I don't know if I've gotten any emails yet for the new fiction, will have to check once I get home.

Geez, I didn't even know that was supposed to be a Trebuchet. My least favorite of the new minis yet.

Bringing over "I didn't get an email for Redemption and Malice," because I haven't. :-\

Bedwyr · « **Reply #12 on:** 01 March 2020, 14:17:43 »

Given the angle of the shot obscuring the signature 'samurai/Vader helmet' I think I'm cool with it so far. All the bits are in the right place and proportions are tweaked so that the legs aren't sticks.

Line art is going to help a lot. These won't even look quite the same once they're converted to production minis.

I'm really liking the look of the bushwacker and trebuchet :thumbsup:

Lorcan Nagle · « **Reply #15 on:** 01 March 2020, 14:48:36 »

Yeah, that Trebuchet isn't grabbing me, but the angle is a weird one and I'm more than willing to give it a chance. But I have plenty of older trebs so if this one mini isn't my favourite, I won't be too bummed out.

truetanker · « **Reply #16 on:** 01 March 2020, 14:52:57 »

I wonder if their going to do a better version of the old Goliath... after all the original was Crusher Joe...

The newest is like 20 or so years old. Same for the Scorpion, even though I do like the Phoenix version better, I've always considered that the more SLDF realistic one.

TT

Adrian Gideon · « **Reply #17 on:** 01 March 2020, 14:55:09 »

Orion cockpit was always supposed to match the Second Succession Wars cover art.

Note the Longbow above is the 7Q. The OW and 7Q now appear as the above (meaning, they always did in universe).

Drewbacca · « **Reply #18 on:** 01 March 2020, 15:26:52 »

Not that I am impatient but when does the first wave ship?

May? If there are no more delays?

Adrian Gideon · « **Reply #20 on:** 01 March 2020, 15:30:00 »

The factories are still closed due to the coronavirus.

Might be perspective. The low angle and proximity to the camera makes it look huge in general.

I think I like them all still, though. I didn't take this pack, because I couldn't justify buying EVERYTHING, but it's definitely high on my "buy later" list, and this reinforces that.

You know, I don't believe I've seen a kickstarter updated that says "By the way, China's not making anything right now, so expect delays", even if I already figured that is happening.

So delays.

Maybe, just maybe, it is time for companies to move their production facilities.

Like that update to the Bushwacker.

I have the metal mini (um from yeaaaars ago). will be nice to compare it to the new one side by side. (my version of putting minis together is to hold it while glue sets ... sometimes takes quite a while)

Luciora · « **Reply #25 on:** 01 March 2020, 16:34:55 »

I like the new renders, just not the title of the thread. We have enough real world problems, and a reminder like that is just very unpleasant and unneeded to see on a gaming forum.

Deadborder · « **Reply #26 on:** 01 March 2020, 16:36:05 »

Interesting way to get our first look at the Trebuchet (unless we saw it before and I just missed it). Definitely liking all these redesigns, and I'm really glad to see the Longbow get sorted out

DarkSpade · « **Reply #27 on:** 01 March 2020, 16:37:23 »

Not the best angle on that photo. Looking forward to... forward shots.

Longbow: An improvement

Orion: the mismatched arms still trigger my CDO, but otherwise I like it.

Bushwacker: I don't remember if I got this one or not and I'm going to be pissed at myself it I didn't. I like it.

Trebuchet: Large missile launchers on arms with hands always look odd to me, but otherwise I'm liking it.

After my previous comment, then seeing this ... GAH! not on my list either. Was fooled by the Longbow, Orion, and Trebuchet. All of which I have in different lance packs. sigh. Still available when wave 2 PM opens up?

Agreed. Edited.
