As we continue our wandering through
Technical Readout: 3025, we come to one of the lesser used 40-ton 'Mechs, the
Vulcan. It was originally a mediocre 'Mech but it got better over the years, but that's true of many 'Mechs. Clan Wolverine turned it into the
Stag, but that'll be a different fortnight. Despite being an old 'Mech, it doesn't have a normal 'Mech of the Week article, but it does have an
Alpha Strike 'Mech of the Week article.
The first
Vulcan miniature made by Ral Partha was a BattleDroids mini (20-812). The mini has a small resemblance to the future art of the
Vulcan but is probably not intended to represent the same 'Mech.
Ral Partha (and then IWM) then made
the original sculpt for the
Vulcan BattleMech (20-886).
CGL then released a plastic sculpt, based on the original metal sculpt, in the prior versions of the introductory box. This was also available in the Recon Lance Pack.
If you have any of these painted, please share pictures. We'd love to see them! And, as always, thank you for reading!
Our next two fortnights will be:
- 8/31: LAM special!
- 9/14: Wyvern and Wyvern IIC
