Looks like I'm going to lose more money to IWM! ;D

[Trajan Helmer]

Niiice..I'll take two for sure

[Stormlion1]

Definatly will need at least one of these.  O0

[cold1]

Ah the 32nd Century... When Blood Reapers, Thud IICs, and Hellstars are secondline mechs.
Hmmm... I might have to give an honest attempt at liking a spheroid faction

How hard would it be to mod one of these into the IIC 2 variant?

[Nahuris]

I plan on at least a couple of these --- my files are already itching to kitbash a few to match the variants from project phoenix... I just like the look a bit better than the reseen....

It's going to depend on weapon location.
Where's the record sheet for that one?  I don't see it in the Record Sheets: Prototypes PDF.

On its way with Prototypes Unabridged, I imagine, whenever that gets completed.

Well, if the large lasers are in each arm, and the mediums in the left torso, it shouldn't be too hard to mod.  You'll have to fill in the hole where the streak launcher attaches, add the small laser to the arm, and if you so desire, add something to represent the jump jets.
If either large laser is somewhere besides an arm, you're out of luck.  The forearms are seriously solid pieces of metal, and getting arms from another 'Mech means having to modify the "wings" so they'll still fit.

that is smexy!!

[Col.Hengist]

 The more i look at it the more i think the shoulder baffles and the LRM are too big and the LRM just looks out of place. Don't get me wrong, i will buy a few and paint them in Donegal and Lyran Guard colors but for me it's just not close enough to the artwork.

Hmmm, the ERLPL is in the right arm, but the heavy is in the left torso. There is a SPL in the left arm, but I don't think that'll cut it.

Why not? They could just be reusing the SPLs off their old Stone Rhinos

Or Aiden Prydes Timby...nice one btw  O0

Checking on it. 

[TS_Hawk]

(hey, don't judge me!  I have been using Marauder IICs to represent those stupid, ugly and impossible to build unseen Marauders)

I never had any problems with the unseen marauders.

Nice!

Great news on the BF packs, but I'm not so crazy about that whole "Estimated Date" business.  :(  I want some T IIC's and Barghests dadgumit!  Enough teasing already!  :D

I got word that my pre-Order Thunderbolt II-C shipped today. (From a retailer, not direct from IWM)
I can't wait to get my grubby mitts on it.  :D

Awwww.  :'( 


You Officially suck.  ;D


Congrats on your Good Fortune though!  O0

Ok Alliance has them.  I used to be a retailer and I still get the inventory emails.  So believe me or not that FSGS have them or not.

[Weirdo]

Finally picked up one of these, and I love it! Very good detail, not much in the way of mold lines, and the parts allow for different poses without being overly complex. I'll give this mini an eight out of ten, as my only beef is the missile rack. The tubes are poorly aligned and poorly spaced, to the point that I'll be chucking it into my bits box, and digging up a TDR-9M's missile rack to use instead.

Y'know, I really need to pick up more of those -9M racks. They're practically my default go-to for large batches of missile tubes.

[klarg1]

Mine arrived in the mail on Tuesday. Now that I've looked it over, I am very happy with the sculpting details, but I still think it might help to file down the shoulder joints to bring the arms in a little closer to the torso.

I haven'd decided on the missile rack yet. Swapping in a project Phoenix T-Bold missile rack is a possibility, but I might also just build it as-is.

[truegrit]

I am not 100% behind how tall the missile rack is, but that can be fixed by a quick substitution.

I wonder how it would look if you just turned that missile rack on its side…

You ever see The Fifth Element? Turning it sideways is like taking their ancient symbol for air, and subsituting their ancient symbol for water.
