2015 release schedule posted

[Heavyguard]

Daishi411, if your thinking back around 2005-2007 several of those releases were classic sculpt returns. As well Fan Financing was getting under way at that time I believe.

[Savage Coyote]

I've been in need of an Arctic Wolf II so I'm happy about that one too :)

Agreed...I honestly didn't think that would see the light of day anytime soon.

[Burning Chrome]

I hope the Ostwar is sculpted around the same size/scale of the origanl, Ral Partha Ostroc and Ostsol.

Extra arms or perhaps just the portion below the elbow to reflect the differnt versions shown in the source materials would be great.

I only stared collecting minis in 08, so just after

I think everyone will be quite pleased with this one.  And there may or may not be a wide variety of alt configs coming...

 8) thank you for that! It needs to happen WAY more often!!!

Now I will plan on buying several. I just need to decide what faction I'll paint them.

And there may be two configs for the Thor II on top of that...

You just made my day!  O0

I'd have to guess a possible Thor II B since there's a MW:DA Miniature of it.

Cool!  I always wondered why they didn't do that with the original 3050 OmniMechs.  At least IWM is making the bits available so we can do our own conversions now. 

On a side note, the Thor II is once again (like the Mad Cat II, III and IV or the Vulture IV) a update of one of the old OmniMech designs, which is head and shoulders better than the original.  I can't wait to see the sculpt.

 Mduaben IWM does have parts available for the majority of the 3050 omni resculpts, they are just online exclusives.

There is also Dak's Omnimech guide floating around that tells you what parts you need for what variants of each omni!

Don't forget we also have the Vulture III coming, and it looks awesome.  Sentinel373 did an awesome job with it.

Yes, its a great resource!  I'm currently using it as a guide to moding some of the OmniMech's in my 3rd Bear Guard project.  O0

Unfortunately they are missing things...such as the Dasher C Right Arm is available...but the Dasher C Left Arm is not. You can't do this mech with 1 arm, and the funny thing is that the Left & Right Arm's are the exact same! LRM 5 each...so not sure why someone couldn't just do a mirror of the arm to make the left.

[Heavyguard]

My bad Mduaben, I missed that part. It was a long night for me when I posted that. 

[cavalier1645]

Man no Celerity CLR-02-X-D :(
Much sadness.
I hope it shows up in a Fan funding.

[cavingjan]

(There is no fan funding at this time.)

No big deal!   ^-^

[jbressel]

I'm super excited about the stalker ii, I hope it looks more like the MWO one. The current one looks too.....phallic.

[Weirdo]

Well, we know it's the one in TRO 3145,  so a simple glance at that art tells us what it will look like.

Exactly.  Or, if they don't have the book (yet, right?), the Master Unit List shows it as well.

Yep that's the one :) Anthony (the guy who drew that) and myself will be working on the sculpt for it :)

[Alex Keller]

I love the Stalker II's artwork.  If the sculpt matches the artwork well, and the miniature is scaled like a proper 85 ton mech, I'll be picking up at least a couple of those.  Shouldn't be too hard to mod them into a STK-3F

[Maingunnery]

I am just curious, what are the odds of adding variant bits for the Royal variant?

[cavingjan]

The Stalker II wasn't around for a Royal version.

[Maingunnery]

The Stalker II wasn't around for a Royal version.

And? Why would that matter? People are going use that mini as a stand in for the older Stalker anyway, it would highly convenient if it has variant bits for Stalker 3Fb approximation.


See:

Stalker 2 is a solid buisness move.  MWO styled Stalker > Ral partha Stalker.  Would have the same perk that the dragon 2 and BK had by doubling its uses for old and new eras.

[GRUD]

And? Why would that matter? People are going use that mini as a stand in for the older Stalker anyway, it would highly convenient if it has variant bits for Stalker 3Fb approximation.

Your Logic seems circular.  If people are using the newer mini to proxy the older mini, then indeed, "Why would it matter" if it had variant bits?   ???  A proxy is a proxy is a proxy.  If anything, they should make a variant using the old Stalker, that includes the Royal variant bits.   O0

[GreekFire]

I certainly wouldn't mind a few variant bits, as long as it doesn't end up being something completely different like what happened to the Dragon/Dragon II.
