SOOOOOLARRRIIISSSSSS!
« on: 27 July 2012, 12:15:02 »
Two minis out of the Solaris VII line up haven't been turned into mini form yet.
These two are the Collossus and the Daedalus.
Will they ever be made and released or is this more of a job for the fan sculpt funding?
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

Okay I'm updating my list now for the Colossus, maybe I entered it wrong in the search on their site.
However I'm sure the Daed isn't in yet. As for the Aquagladius, I was thinking more along the S7 'Mechs from the old set. Was that one in it?

As its been mentioned the one is out in miniature form. I doubt you will see anymore Solaris 7 mini done other then via fan funding once that opens up again. Considering most of the Solaris 7 mini done are archived.

I love the Prowler and have been meaning to buy one. Wish I could justify it showing up in a Merc unit.

Another justification is that the merc unit hired a pilot with one.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

As far as I can tell, it was one of the four not to get a mini (along with the Volkh, Aquagladius and Daedalus)

I don't think the Aquagladius has been done though

A well-done mini, but I do miss the original art on that one quite a bit.
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman
