The
Dervish is a somewhat unexpected popular BattleMech with the Federated Suns. (There aren't any autocannons!) It was the "other" 55-ton 'Mech of
Technical Readout: 3025, not obviously being among the "55-ton trio" introduced in the old introductory boxes. But, unlike those other 55-ton 'Mechs, it didn't become Unseen, so I guess it got the last laugh. You can learn more at its
'Mech of the Week article.
There has only really been one
Dervish sculpt,
the original (20-876). It has had some derivatives though:
- The Beginners Set sculpt.
- The Battleforce-scale sculpt (20-9102).
- The plastic sculpt from Catalyst Game Labs, released with the previous generation of introductory boxes and the Fire Lance Pack, presumably based on the Beginners Set sculpt.
If you've painted any
Dervishes (whirling or otherwise), please post pictures! We'd all love to see them.
Thank you for reading and a special thank you to those who post!
Our next two fortnights will be:
- Clan (5/20): Glass Spider (Galahad)
- Inner Sphere (6/3): Firestarter (including the OmniMech version)
