I am looking for suggestions of vehicles from 3150 TRO series.
-
Gossamer VTOL since it was mentioned last year
-
I’d like to see the Schildkröte, preferably in a two pack.
the Hadur
Or the Pixu
-
Zahn Heavy Transport
Swallow Attack WiGE
EDIT : adding R10 ICV
-
Once again, the Tribune is left out in the cold... :'(
Kruger
Sheriff
Zahn
Kruger
Sekhmet
Kruger
Hazel
Hasek
Hanse
Destrier
Ballista
Kruger
Thang-Ta
Red Kite
R10
Bulwark
Kruger
Swallow
Gulltoppr
Kruger
Gurzil
-
Yes on the Thang-Ta. I need my pop culture fix, that I dont have to mod. ;D
-
pixiu!
-
Swallow and Narukami would be great.. One because is a WiGE with a ton of ME262 vibes and the other is a menacing tank.
Edit. Added an extra N to Narukami :'(
-

Series? Did you mean the 3145 TRO series?
-
speck listed the gossamer so i assume it includes 3145
-
We can call it the "Just before the ilClan Era" TROs. :thumbsup:
-
MHI Defense AA Tank
Gulltoppr Omnimonitor
-
Seconding the R10.
-
I will second the Narukami and add the Gurzil.
-
In principle, I'll support any that aren't limited to small numbers of factions - eg. no FedSuns-only, no Falcons-only.
However these are pretty widely available:
R10 - about time we had an omni-APC, one squad in, one hanging onto the roll bars!
Gossamer - just looks cute, and we could use some new VTOLS
Hadur - give the Arrow Regulator some competition
Ballista - even if it does die off post-Jihad, that's still plenty of time
Sekhmet - looks good!
Sorry, Narukami is DC-only and Red Kite is FWL-only, which is very limiting, and the Hanse is stupid ;)
-
pixiu!
pixiu!!
-
Having a Strix would be neat, it's a cool design.
Definitely want some Gun Trailers—ideally a base trailer and then a series of separate guns that fit on top for easy magnetization.
Would definitely find use for a Shun.
Could use a Narukami.
The Savior would be a wonderful objective/campaign piece.

Already out. :)

alternate Schrek turret? :)

Well would you look at that egg all over my face!

Can’t see the egg past all the crow feathers. ;) ::)
I almost said gun trailers too. I couldn’t remember either.
-
Red Kite!!!
-
Predator Tank Destroyer with alternate gun barrels.
This suggestion comes with a guarantee of a pledge if it moves forward.
I've been waiting for this game piece since I discovered BattleTechnology and again since 2013.
-
If I can't have a Destrier or Teppo, then give me a Bulwark!
-
Boreas, Cyllaros, Harpagos and Notos! :thumbsup:
What? They're QuadVEES after all! :D
-
Weirdo I see what you did there . . .
Gossamer VTOL
Kruger
Predator
Pixiu
Kruger
Shun VTOL
R10 (worktroll has forgotten the Bolla?)
Kruger
Kinnol (how is this not already done?!)
Narukami- it is not going to stay DC exclusive with DD's results
Kruger
-
No love for the Zahn? Hexareme HQ Hovercraft would be cool.
-
Boreas, Cyllaros, Harpagos and Notos! :thumbsup:
What? They're QuadVEES after all! :D
We can add them.
-
If we're including quadvees, definitely the notos
Otherwise the Swallow or Fensalir
-
Lol, if the quadvees were available last year, we would have put some in the Gen Con Bloodright, since it was Hell's Horses.
-
By my count, that puts the Pixiu, Swallow, R10 and Narukami in the lead with 4 individual votes each.
-
Still need to point out that the Pixiu and Narukami are very limited by faction availability.
And Colt Ward, didn't forget the Bolla - but availability just WoB/Republic. The R10 is the omniAPC for the rest of us :)
-
On top of that, the R10 would lend itself well to a dual build with a pair of turrets (Prime & A)
.. boards the Damnation Alley train and adds the R10 to suggestions.
-
I'm totally on board that Fan Finance is a gateway to
powers some consider unnatural getting minis with limited appeal into existance. The Raider wasn't exactly something everyone was lusting for, amiright?
But if we're looking at Dark Age vehicles as a class, I'd expect uptake to be better with generalist designs, with the possibility of getting a few funded. Except it may be necessary to wait until the Mercs KS has dropped; I doubt I'm the only one hoarding hobby budget for that.

I do not know, how good they look will also be important.

And yet people want the Gurzil :) (joke)

The what? ???
-
The thing I suggested that isn't the Kruger. :)
-
I think that things which don't already have an existing MWDA mini should take precedence. If someone wants an R10, it's easy enough to find one and pop it off its dial, for far less than the cost of a pewter mini.
-
R10 is unfortunately massive - bigger than a metal Behemoth or Ontos (can do pics).
I confess I picked up a bunch of them, because their turrets are perfect for converting Saladins to the TAG/SRM variant. I keep meaning to turn the hulls into subs, eg. the Moray.
Mixed emotions on not covering those with a DA mini - while I did buy heaps a decade or so ago and am still using up the horde, availability is not that great - you can find them, but the prices are rising. And I think Demo Agents can't use DA minis in official games. In the meantime though I still use them.

If something is only available on the secondary market, it's not available.
-
Gossamer VTOL since it was mentioned last year
This... And other VTOLS
- Gossamer
- Skadi Swift Attack
- Yasha
- Red Kite
-
I've been spoiled with DA Skadis and Yashas, but could support them. The Red Kite is pretty limited distribution (League and Wolf only)
-
Lol, if the quadvees were available last year, we would have put some in the Gen Con Bloodright, since it was Hell's Horses.
You had the Arion.
-
True, and we considered it for the Grand Melee, but it wasn't good enough to compete with the field of Medium mechs.
-
Pixiu or Hadur
-
I can not possibly suggest a 3150 vehicle while the Ferret from 3026 is still missing!!! (The Humanity!!!)
Okay, fine, how about the Arrow-IV Vehicle
-

https://ironwindmetals.com/index.php/product-listing/product/battletech-bt-448/category_pathway-2
-
Are we allowed to suggest vehicles that were introduced in the Rec Guides, like the Whirlwind or Falcon?
-
Pretty sure Speck is specifically asking for stuff from TROs 3145 and 3150.

Thanks Sartis, took those off the list.
-
Pixiu and R10 in the lead with 5 votes each, followed by Gossamer, Swallow and Narukami with 4 votes each..
-
Pretty sure the Kruger received more than 4 votes . . .
-
It has received votes from one person (or two, if you're also voting for it)
-
I vote Gossamer and Pixiu.
-
Swallow
Winterhawk APC
JI2A1 Attack APC
Marten Scout VTOL
Skadi Swift Attack VTOL
Mike
-
No love for the Zahn?
I'd love to see a Zahn. Love the Aliens APC but a bus aesthetic.
VTOL love too, especially the Lamprey, DI Multipurpose and Marten (cause it looks like a Ferret). Zibler too.
-
As was mentioned the Zibler has been done.
Lamprey makes me sad . . . the MWDA one has the perfect Hind look, the TRO art ruins that, I would hope a mini looks closer to the MWDA mini than the TRO art.
-
Ah yes, Zibler done and discussed... Best pick one up so.
I like the dopey Lamprey, but could go either way...
-
Would love to see the Hadur, Swallow and DI Multipurpose VTOL.

I agree w/ both comments.
But more w/ the 1st.
All need metal eventually, but, the MWDA minis should take back burner when it comes to priority.
And have I mentioned the Ferret is still waiting since 3026? :) hehe.
-
My votes would go for the R10, Red Kite, Kelswa Tank, Aesir AA vehicle, and Maxim Mk II.
-
R10, Pixiu, Swallow : 6 votes each
Gossamer : 5 votes
Hadur, Zahn, Red Kite, Narukami : 4 votes each
All others : 1 to 2 individual votes each
-
My votes:
1. Pixiu
2. Narukami
3. Kinnol
-

Gossamer : 5 votes

But I'm a member of an Autonomous Collective, and we ALL voted for QuadVees! That's something like 387 or so. :D
Everyone voted for them but Bob, who doesn't like stupid minis. :-\

My collective cannot reach a conclusion: 573 vote for Quadvees, while 571 vote for WiGEs.
-
The Red Kite is pretty limited distribution (League and Wolf only)
Yes, but it's fabulous!
-
Love to see the Tiger.
-
I vote Pixiu and Hadur
-
Thanks for the necro, this triggered me to go back & look through the TRO link on Sarna again.
https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Technical_Readout:_3150
I change my vote to the Marten Vtol! (So I can sub it for a Ferret!)

Noted.
Pixiu is currently leading the pack with 8 individual votes
Next up are Swallow and R10 with 6 votes each
Gossamer, Hadur and Narukami have 5 votes each
Zahn, Red Kite and Marten have 4 votes each
All other vees have 2 or less individual votes each (yes, even the Kruger..)
-
Are votes still being accepted for this? I'd vote for the R10 it's the most utilitarian in ilClan, and fantastic in AS.
