Title: Round 1 2015 Fan Finance Suggestions
Post by: speck on 10 January 2015, 12:44:25
Suggestions for 1st Quarter is now open. I will add peoples suggestions that are can be done to this first post.

Just mechs and vehicles and variants of them are open for the trial run of the Fan Finance relaunch.

I will add this here as well, but small variant parts (just a arm or legs) and omni parts are not part of this trial period. When I know more about there future inclusion I will announce it.

Since there is only so much room for the poll, please limit your suggestions to 3 in your post.

Based on your response to the "Iron Wind HPG" thread, may I suggest the Hyper Pulse Generator?

If that is allowed and does not cause too much trouble for you.

I have two suggestions:

First, the BL-X-KNT Black Knight “Red Reaper” from XTRO Most Wanted.

Second, a Flashman resculpt that matches the attached art. It's the art from TRO 3025(revised). This would give the Flashman much-needed elbows, as well as limb proportions that don't make painters cringe.

That will be done separate from this project.

If you are asking about the original Ost mech they can not be done as of now. Closest thing to Ost mechs is the upcoming Ostwar.

I will third that and add the GM-FL Pompier from the same TRO.

This!  Its a beautiful looking design and I'd love to get one of these for my collection.   [drool]

How about the Cyllaros and Harpagos?
Unless these are already firmly part of the "to be done" catagory.  We've got the Arion light QuadVee on the release list for this year, so I would be really excited to be able to add the medium and heavy QuadVees in order to create a QuadVee trinary!  This has the added advantage of likely generating multiple purchases (I know I would want ten of each, in order to do a full Star in either Vee or Mech mode). 

Finally, I'd love to see the Dasher II (TRO:3085) done. 
Title: Re: 1st Quarter 2015 Fan Finance Suggestions
Post by: GreyWolfActual on 16 January 2015, 11:38:08
I'm keen to agree with Weirdo. The Flashman, as it stands now, is not only ugly and not try to the art, but a real pain in the but to store if you want the arms to look like they're shooting at anything. A mini with elbows would be greatly appreciated.

More good news!  I was never a hugh fan of any of the first wave OmniMechs (talking artwork here, not performance).  All the updated models of those, like the Mad Cat Mk II or the Vulture Mk IV, are great improvements in my eyes and the Thor Mk II is no exception to this.   O 8)

I'd like to second the Primitives -- any of them not yet sculpted. If resculpts are in play, any chance of resculpting the Reseen Archer so that the fakakatah missile bay doors are something a bit more reasonable? I've wanted to do one of those, but I'm completely intimidated by what everybody;s saying about gluing the doors in place...

I'll throw in for the original Goblin tank from TRO 3026/3039.  It's the only tank from that book that has never had a mini (Barring the APCs and that engineering... thing).

I want the Wildfire from Unbound.  It's re-officialized and has an updated record sheet in 3055 Unabridged. 

The Teppo from TRO 3085 Supplemental, and the Destrier/Ballista from TRO 3145 Davion.  They don't need to be doorstop-sized chunks of metal, just big.

The Sokar from TRO Prototypes, bucause it's unconscionable that something that ridiculously cool hasn't been made yet.

A resculpted Imp matching the art in Historical: Operation Klondike

And lastly the Mauna Kea from TRO 3075, because there aren't enough boats, and there's alwasy room for one more mini that no one will ever buy.

Post by: Mastergunz on 16 January 2015, 17:29:26
Ooo, thats a tough call. Given the option I would stay away from minis that are simple mods or variants of exisiting ones.

I'm a huge fan of all the primitives so far so i'd have to say a primitive Rifleman would be great. I know we have the hammerhands and Battleaxe but a true primitive Warhammer would be cool...just maybe a pipe dream, lol.

Also, the Bellerophon and Gauntlet. ;D

Damn you, Jal. It's unbelievable how spot-on your calls are. I second all of the above, though I believe the Sokar was already funded under FF1.0...

I looked at units missing minis and immediately had a list of more than a dozen "must haves". So I'll just throw 1 'Mech and 1 vehicle in the ring:

Patron (Shugosha) Loader/Patrol/DroneMechs with copious amounts of bits to make differing variants. This little 'Mech spans four different publications (TRO 3075, TRO Prototypes, XTRO RetroTech, RS Vehicle Annex) with lots of variants and could be such a fun model.

Predator Tank Destroyer from 3145 Capellan Confederation. Maybe with a variant barrel that's thinner but longer to represent the SW model (in a nod to the BattleTechnology original).

I would be throwing considerable cash at either of these.

Gun Trailers
Great idea, especially if the turrets are compatible with the current line of IWM bunkers (w/weapon turrets).


Also a Gunslinger that matches Plog's 3055u art would be awesome :)
This I would love to see.


The Flashman, as it stands now, is not only ugly and not try to the art...
To be fair, it's quite true to the original art (TRO:2750), and the two newest versions (3039 and 3050U).  I would like to see ball-joint elbows and separate legs, though.

They might have to be careful with that. The art floating around for the 3 is not canon. A fan comissioned it.  While the XR art is a near direct copy of the 2 and 3 fan-comissioned art, they still aren't canon, in-house artwork.

Beside the before mentioned Resculpts on the Op: Klondike artwork, i would be happy to see a fixed Galahad 3 and Bane 4. While i love the stats of both, the sculpts are definitely one of the worst in BT history out of many reasons.

And a question regarding the very first Titan. Would it be possible to do a mini for that ? Or is the source of the artwork questionable ?

There would need to be existing official art for a new mini to be done since it would be totally new and not just a variant.

Thats brilliant that you are taking suggestions and then voting.  So my suggestions are:

Templar III- great assault mech
Centurion Omni- another unique looking that is also functional for many games
Saracen Mk II HCV (Or Saladin)- to pair with the scimitars that are out
Gossamer VTOL- pretty good unit, but mostly because its a very unique looking VTOL (so is the Hawk Moth II lol)

Yeah, I didn't pick ALL the mechs that haven't been done yet, just the important ones I know I've seen people request elsewhere, as well as my personal preference.

B-3...whatever you do, when you do Omnis, can you please try to get some, if not all of the variant parts included. It's been hashed out, and re-hashed out on the forums that we are willing to pay a little more just to get those extras included in the mini itself.

Not being a 'mech or vehilce(which we've been told repeatedly that the current Fan Finance program is limited to that right now), the answer must be no. That being said, if financing is ever expanded to include that... [drool]

Main record sheet is out, but none of the Variant ones are. Unfortunately I asked why that was since it would have been easy to include with only 3 other variants and was told that they only had room/budget for the 1 record sheet. The others may not see the light of day. If needed, the main record sheet is found in Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2

Aside from the vehicle I suggested previously, I'd also like to suggest the Gulltoppr and its variant turrets, and the I'd like to second the Kheper mech.

Now that we've got 5 pages of suggestions, when do we get to vote on the poll? Just by looking at how many people suggested it, I'd say the Red Reaper is going to be a popular choice (for good reason).

Could be 5-10 years before we get something like that. Heck, the EXT-4C took 24 years to publish. ;-)

EDIT: In all seriousness, it's probably not going to see the light of day. The writer who did the Dragoon did publish a TRO outline online in the forums because of this. I took his "Record Sheet" and that's what was used to make the AEM- variants in MegaMek.
