Any update on the Hierofalcon?

What are the chances of seeing the Ion Sparrow get a mini?

I checked Ares Games yesterday and they still had no updates about the Q1 minis.

Got confirmation from Mike just the other day...

Should be in the next 2-3 weeks.

EDIT - Should clarify, the Hierofalcon is coming soon, no ETA on Iron Sparrow.

Should be release here soon. I have samples of the Prime config and variant parts, will be building them tomorrow.

As for the Ion Sparrow, at some point yes it will be done.

I think I can help, Speck! Here's a preview of a painted, 3D-printed prototype of the Hierofalcon. The Sparrow is mostly modeled, btw.

I don't remember. I know the original Gyrfalcon mini was over sized but I don't remember big Falcon Assault in the picture had same issue. Suck towers over the Sparrow.

Since reading comprehension seems to be on the back burner, I wanted to emphasize that that's not an Ion Sparrow. Pictured is a prototype Hierofalcon next to an older Shrike model. Which, look fantastic, btw, Wondergecko.

I'm excited to pick one or two up next opportunity along with a nice War Crow.

Okay but to be fair the painting is absurdly good too.  I do like that Hierofalcon model quite a bit.....

I was glad I happened to be checking my phone when I did this morning to nab the two War Crows I was wanting to start a Snow Raven force.

I sat down for break and it was in my Facebook feed. Then it was hitting buttons as fast as I could to make sure I got two before they sold out. Mission accomplished!

Just a quick update, I have added the Buffalo and Typhoon mini for sale on IWM web store. They are in the New Release category. I will also have images for the new distro release up tomorrow, well have the main variant.

Speck, can the Prime arms for the Omnimechs be added to the scrapyard? 

I have slowly added some when they come up. Can add them to the list.
