Why do Wolf's Dragoons get the interesting toys? We won't answer that here but we'll cover one of their toys, the
Shogun. While it was first introduced in the
Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook, I'm sure many of us first saw it in
Technical Readout: 3050. To learn more about using it in game, please see its
'Mech of the Week article.
The art for the
Shogun hasn't changed much over the years. Both minis for it take after the original art for the SHG-2E (or SHG-2F, they look the same):
- The single metal sculpt was released by Ral Partha (and still sold by Iron Wind Metals) as 20-892.
- Catalyst's plastic sculpt, from the Fire Lance Pack, is based on the metal sculpt.
(The inclusion of the
Shogun in that pack always struck me as a little weird but it's apparently responsible for the mention of the
Shogun in the New Tech, New Upgrades section of TRO 3150.)
If you have any of these painted (extra credit those plausibly not in Dragoons colors), please share! We'd love to see them!
Thank you for reading and a special thank you to those of you who post.
Our next two fortnights will be:
- Clan (9/24): Marauder IIC
- Inner Sphere (10/8): JagerMech and JagerMech III
