Iron Wind Metals will be at Gencon - Booth 1803, right in front next to Catalyst Game Labs.
We will have our usual line up of BattleTech and Fantasy miniatures, along with our con limited editions for this year - The Jumping Rifleman IIC and Jumping Rifleman RFL-7X, as well as our other con limited edition mechs.

Also we will have almost all of the online exclusive BT and FT selections.

In addition, we will have limited quantities of pre-release sets of the September Bounty Hunter release-

10-050 The Bounty Hunter Set - Includes B.H. Mad Cat S Mech, B.H. Marauder II Mech, and 28mm scale B.H. Night Hawk Power Armor - $24.95

10-051 Bounty Hunter â€œCompanionâ€ Mechs - Includes Phoenix Hawk -3M, Cauldron Born A, Javelin-11D, and SHD-1Primitive Shadow Hawk - $39.95
All so, for the 1st time in many years, we will have limited quantities of our Mech Scale Leopard Dropship now re-available for a limited time for $59.95. We'll have less than 20 of these, so they are likely to go fast.
Hope to see you all at the show...

Will the Kyudo be available?

Saw the pictures of the finished Bounty Hunter sets (http://www.scrapyardarmory.com/2011/08/04/gencon-2011-day-1/) and they are simply awesome. Looking forward to them in September.
How fast were they sold out?

So what's the difference between the standard Marauder II mini and the BH one? It doesn't really look that different.

IAMCLANWOLF · « **Reply #12 on:** 05 August 2011, 16:05:32 »

^...New shoulder armor and new torso cannon are basically it for the Marauder II.

Loving the Unseen[ish] Primitive Shadowhawk and the Timberolf S... {>{>

If they did it right, it should have two laser ports in each arm with the PPC as well, as per both the Interstellar Players record sheet and the artwork in that book. I don't know if that happened or not, but that's the thing that jumps out at me first and foremost about the visual changes.

M-Rex · « **Reply #14 on:** 05 August 2011, 16:21:42 »

Photos of the 'Primitives'?

BlazingSky · « **Reply #15 on:** 05 August 2011, 16:38:14 »

Hrm. My only problem with the Primitive Shadow Hawk is that it's way out of scale with everything around it. And the AC/5 barrel is this huge piece off the top of the mech.

IAMCLANWOLF · « **Reply #16 on:** 05 August 2011, 16:51:28 »

Hmmm...hard to tell from the pic, but the scale looks fine to me.

I'm just happy it went into production after the uncertainty of whether or not it was too close to the unseen.

So am I, it just looks a little too bulky in comparison to everything but the MAD-II. Especially the cockpit :-\

i just hate the pose it's in, i'm hoping the legs can be changed. does anyone who's seen it know?

The mad cat isn't even close to the one from ISP so I doubt the Mad II is either. (Its accurate for the mad cat S. Just not for the recordsheet in ISP)

I was looking forward to a missile-less mad cat.

I can't wait to get my hands on the nighthawk.

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #22 on:** 06 August 2011, 11:38:39 »

I'm kind of bleh on the Nighthawk, though with a little work it might make a good hood ornament. :D

yeah no kidding, that thing looks sweet! Plus it's a nighthawk so it's already awesome simply because of that fact.

Nice seeing them again. The IWM crew is always so nice and awesome!!!

Is that a 3M which has 2 large lasers and 2 med pulse lasers?

That's the -3K model.

The mini or the model BlazingSky is describing? BlazingSky is describing the 3M. The 3K is 2 ERLL and 2 ERML.

The mini looks like it has two large lasers of some variety vs a single plasma rifle.

In all honesty, I don't think we have a very good angle for looking at the minis. I look forward to other pictures in the future.

As I recall, the Phoenix Hawk in the Bounty Hunter set is supposed to be a PP-3K.

From Speck's release thread:

Quote

10-050 The Bounty Hunter Set (2 mechs & 28mm scale power armor bounty hunter fig) $24.95
Includes B. H. Mad Cat S Mech, B. H. Marauder II Mech, and B. H. Night Hawk Power Armor.
10-051 Bounty Hunter â€œCompanionâ€ Mechs (4 mechs) $39.95
Includes Phoenix Hawk -5L, Cauldron Born A, Javelin-11D, and SHD-1Primitive Shadow Hawk

The PHX looks more like a 3M or 3K than a 5L. We'll see when it comes out and if any dossiers are released about that time.

(I'm still getting it.)

That mini was made to represent a 3M.

I had my friend pick one of these up, and now I can't think about work! All I want to do is get home and start painting! Thanks IWM for bringing these back 8)

I just popped open the 2 bounty hunter box sets. I'm really pleased with the nighthawk mini. It looks amazing as does the ebon jaguar and the primitive shad ( all except the pose). Great job guys.

I see they have locations on the underside for the docking collar and the landing gear. I thinking of building up the gear from custom parts, but I've never seen it anywhere. Have you?

No but if you do I'd like to know as well!

Been looking for white metal landing gear of suitable size for years!
