That would be a figure that would be entirely too tiny and easy to lose. It would need to be small enough to fit inside a Stinger's head.

No...I mean in 6mm scale...So when a mech gets destroyed I have a ejected mechwarrior
Maybe things like Davion or Kurita Infantry?

Just glueing a single one of them onto a base, could substitute a mechwarrior, i think

Centaur and Taranis are the two that I'd really like to see.

It would be the size of an infantry mini

Baphominiatures had some thiny 6mm pilots. But i would be happy to see something similar from IWM. Even a hexbase with ejected seat, parachute and pilot would be great.

Hmm, I must have missed it . . . were the prominences not that noticeable?

Beats me.  It's an online exclusive (like all Battle Armor these days).

Yeah . . . my store orders directly from IWM now so I can get all sorts of neat stuff w/o worrying about shipping and support my FLGS too.  Its win win . . . I want one of those, and to paint it as Wonder Woman . . . but that is some detail I probably cannot reach.

While GRUD's answer is the correct one, to answer casperionx's questions, you have to have enough people that want it or finance it directly.  Warships probably aren't a big enough seller to warrant regular production either.

IIRC, somebody solo-financed a mech for prizes at his tourney. No idea what happened to the moulds.

But Speck is the person to talk to there, not this thread.

They were not stored if I remember correctly. (This was the MWDA Spider with mace)
The financier got all 300 copies of the mini. Granted it was only a custom arm (maybe two arms)

I know it isn't power armor but I have always wanted a ejected mechwarrior

Yeah, I'm into this.

Ideally a couple of variations on mechwarriors. I've painted up a Davion Infantry or two as mechwarriors before, and I have a couple of Nighthawks ordered. Maybe a "non-combatants" set. Techs, medics, officers, Solaris fans... all that stuff. But 28mm Mechwarriors. Yes.

Armour-wise, gotta be Cuchulainn at the top of my list.

I remember reading that the financier also requested the mold be broken so it couldn't be reused.

I've never heard of a MWDA Spider w/ a Mace.

Interesting.

Not sure I want a mace for my Spider, but, would look cool like he's going to smack you in the head.

Very interesting, I like the JJ effects on that mini.

I can't help but notice that the artist who did the unit symbol on the web page must have reading issues.

Can't find a place to post something besides Battle Armor.
So I would like to put on the list the arms for the Novacat A.
Also I know warships are not suppose to be listed but the Newgrange Yardship needs to be done!
