Can I clarify whether the Demon Tank coming out of the archive is the AR20-295 Demon or the AR20-422 Demon Tank?

Thanks!

Had to go with the Maelstrom.... although the Komodo, and the Brigand are tough choices to bypass.......

Is there any interest in the Night Hawk?

My head says Emperor, but my heart says Mars Assault Vehicle.  Then my head thinks, 'heck yeah, Mars Assault Vehicle'.

May I ask, too, how long do the Archive Returns return for?  I'm thinking of ordering an extra Kingfisher, for example, so if it is slated to go back into the archive soon, I would love a head's up.
Thanks!

It is for a month . . . you want a Mars huh?  Ever consider buying some MWDA minis?  They work decently for armor.

Awesome, thanks Ward.  Sounds like I need to make an emergency Kingfisher run soon.

I know I have some old DA figs somewhere, not sure where, though.  I'll have to go hunting around to see if any work.  I've suddenly taken a keen interest in the Hell's Horses.

Someone posted a thread a few weeks back asking about MWDA minis and a bunch of folks chimed in, showed pictures and made suggestions.  Some of it was way more skilled than I can do right now but I might try.  I do have a Highlander Legionnaire that had its arms snapped off . . . and as soon as I find my box that has everything else I collected except for the Steel Wolves.  Highlander infantry is already in camo!

Anyway . . . what is with the changes to BA?  I see some sold as singles and yet still groups of 25 such as the Raiden.

Tough choice for me. I nominated the Brigand, and I'm running a semi-regular game that might end up pirate hunting so by all rights I should vote Brigand, right? Then it occurs to me that I have no Emperor mini and I really like the Emperor and well, tough luck Brigand. Maybe some other folks will like you enough to get you into the finals.

This is a tough one for me Komodo 2A or Mars Assault Vehicle
I do not have any Komodo 2A's but am currently working on my clan forces so more good clan assault tanks would be nice.

I went with the Komodo as was seeing more love in the comments for the Mars, but after seeing the numbers. Well whats done is done.

If it has been posted based on the suggestion I made, then it is the 60 Demon from 3050 upgrades. Not the Demon medium tank, which is also pretty cool too actually.

I am not a huge fan of the SRM carrier, but this may be a bit better.

You know, not to be a downer but we are halfway through October with no poll . . .

 . . . which I really cannot say much about since I have not been able to find anything in archive I was looking to add like the Toyama, Emperor or Tundra Wolf.

Hmm, for Blakist flavor what about the Buccaneer or Spector . . . *checks* both in production.  Primitive Shadow Hawk?  I could not find that anywhere when I went looking.

Well, maybe for a later poll then, and as far as mechs with a Blakist flavor, a quick check of the Archive list shows such units as the Beowulf, Blue flame, Albatross, Initiate, Lightray, Red Shift and White Flame, plus all the numerous Star League-era 'Mechs they had access to once they wrested Terra free from the grip of the heretical ComStar.
