The lake is part of Shu gake koen {vermillion cliff park} a national wilderness park which includes woodlands surrounding the lake, hot spings, and the Kamigami no tani {valley of the gods} a scenic sandstone valley of about four hundred square kilometers, the remnants of an ancient landscape with tall red-brown mesas, buttes, towers, mushroom rocks and other iconic sandstone formations. Izanagi Izanami Jinja is a Shinto shrine to the progenitor gods with their sixty meter likenesses carved directly into a sandstone cliff in the Kamigami no tani. The honden {the sacred halls where enshrined representations of the kami are kept} of the shrine buildings placed protectively in front of the statues, is a three bay Nagare-zukuri style building connected to the heiden {offering hall} by a roof. Other attractions in the Shu gake koen include the Shu gake bijutsukan {vermillion cliff museum} with interactive exhibits about the wildlife, geology, and paleontology of the area; the Nigai Mizu Visitors Center and Amphitheater {bitter water} from which the local park rangers and NPO Wylde Rangers offer demonstrations, classes, and programs; ryokan {inn} and minshuku {bed&breakfast} with outdoor onsen; Sky-top Lodge a stone manor house resort hotel (with a private aerostrip) built at the top of the West Cliff and overlooks Bear Paw Lake; and the Kuma no ashi no mizumi marina {bear paw lake marina} rents and leases houseboats, powerboats, jet-skis, kayaks, and sailing craft up to twenty three meters. The marina features a Clubhouse with a sento {japanese style communal bathhouse} with onsen and spa (soaking tubs, sauna, reiki, salt therapy, epidermis treatments, hair and nail decor, massage), a gourmet restaurant, a pub, a bakery cafe, a chandlery, electricity and communications, maintenance and repair services, and a large Inn. It offers access to a waterway station, a marine roadhouse, and charter operators that explore the lake, nearby canals, the Waikato River {flowing water}, and also the Hibari-gawa {skylark river} a small outlet of the lake that eventually empties into Pearl Bay. Ayuhwasi {meadow} is a small chartered village (2836) {the sole instance in the Park} whose residents (491) are employed in the tourism of the area and agriculture; with a railway station served by Trinity Railways, Via Rail, Zheleznyye Dorogi {spirit railways}, and other regional lines. Activities at the Park include glamping, camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, photo safari tours, helicopter air tours, airship air tours, swimming and other water activities, basking in the sun on the beaches, and a championship golf course.

I know her from the Jade Falcon phone book where she was described as a moderate Warden, but grief over losing so many friends at Tukayyid created a deep hatred for any and all Spheroids, earning the nickname "The Black Crusader".
I haven't cracked open the book recently, but I do know FM:WC puts her as captured by the Scorpions and having risen to command Tau Galaxy. I guess either she had an Ebenezer Scrooge turnaround at some point, or fanatical Crusader sentiments aren't actually a big hindrance in this Clan I know nothing else about her from memory or Sarna, but I feel safe in assuming that by the Dark Age, she's either dead or retired.
Oh really, I it's just the name seemed to ring a bell, from a Dark Age Loki I saw

Right, but I am in Wave 1(At least, I should be, since I had paid my shipping before the Wave 1 Deadline), shouldn't all of Wave 1 be shipped first before Wave 2? If they don't have the stock to complete Wave 1, how can they have the stock for Wave 2?

The Yoshino-gawa {excellent beautiful respected honored graceful pleasing sound river} is the largest and longest river on Nejiro. It is more than seventeen thousand kilometers in length and originates from the Genso Mizumi {illusion lake} which is fed by the Alpenwylde glaciers in the Kiso Mountains {foundation backbone}, which in turn feeds the Tentai Mizumi {heaven lake} and the Anheru Taki {angel falls} and Morning Glory Lake in the Kiso Mountains and the Sharqiun Kiso Yama. The Yoshino-gawa flows north through the Eastern Desert and the Yushan {jade hills}, and on through the Kuroi Oka {black hills} and the Annettai Heiya {subtropical plains} until its oulet into Subarashi Bei {wonderful bay}. The river widens from two kilometers at its source to a maximum of fifty kilometers during the rainy season in its delta, it has depths over two hundred meters. It is the major river of the northern Tairiku continent {everything north of the Kiso Mountains and the Sharqiun Kiso Yama} a superhighway of transport to many destinations via itself and its many tributaries and canals. The Yoshino-gawa forms the western boundary of the Eastern Desert province, as well as the Kuroi Oka {black hills} province. The Kanawha River {white rocks} is a tributary of the Yoshino-gawa that flows north through the Kiso Mountains then east into the Sharqiun Kiso Yama {eastern backbone foundation mountains} and then northeast through the city of Hilo and its metropolitan area. The Kanawha River then continues east past Camp Haken {hegemony} and then flows north into the Sangosho Gulf {coral}. The Kanawha River is a fast moving body of water with several constricted sections that form rapids (rated from Class III to Class IV) and small waterfalls. The river has several hydropower facilities along its route. The Kanawha River ranges from two to sixteen kilometers wide and is up to one hundred meters deep in parts during its journey of over four thousand kilometers. The Quoile River {narrow} originates in the Sharqiun Kiso Yama south of the Anheru Taki {angel waterfall} within the KrissKross cavern system. It flows mainly underground except for a few dozen kilometers where it surfaces in Hilo due to geological quirks. The river again surfaces as it enters Kawaita taki sankyo {dry falls gorge}, a gorge several dozen kilometers north of the Hilo metropolitan area, and then due to past geological activity the Quoile River disappears and continues underground east for another thirteen hundred kilometers or so and empties into Pearl Bay west of Baja. The Waikato River {flowing water} originates from Tazawa Lake {hill with a raised circular top, rice paddy}, a deep caldera lake {a six kilometer wide body of freshwater with two lava domes over three hundred meters in diameter in its 423-meter depths on Ryujin no sumiko yama (dwelling of the dragon god mountain) 2236-masl} (the lake that never freezes) in the Sharqiun Kiso Yama which fills the river with kunimasu trout, sockeye salmon, red-fin, carp, char, catfish, and eel. The Waikato River flows northeast from its origins and continues onward through the city of Hilo and its metropolitan area and then crosses abruptly east and meanders into Bear Paw Lake northwest of Baja. The Waikato River then snakes its way further east and then south past Baja and through the Woy Woy Peninsula {much water, big lagoon} and on into the Sulu Sea {dynamic flowing water}. The Waikato River has an average depth of ten meters and easily accommodates barges and small freight ships, but nothing handling over five thousand containers (which requires depths over twelve meters). Woodlands and meadows are naturally plentiful around the rivers, lakes and canals of the Eastern Desert province. They are also cultivated around farmlands, orchards, vineyards, and pastures to mitigate flooding.

« Last post by HeavyArmorMecha on 13 October 2024, 03:15:28 »I wouldn't call it a "Mech Destroyer"....
it's a Sand-Blaster with little to no hole-puncher capability...
Might I suggest dumping all Medium Lasers, Rocket Launchers and additional heat sinks for either a Heavy PPC or Large VSPL if you intend on IS only?

« Last post by Hellraiser on 13 October 2024, 02:21:27 »I'm thinking that stuff like the Intro Box & AGOAC etc etc stays unpainted.
BUT, that said, I do think that there is a place for painted lances.
IE. The ones that have the Faction in the Name.
Give us a couple of Purple Plastic lances in Marik Militia highlights.
Albatross, Awesome, Orion, Hercules
Anvil, Wraith, Hermes-II, Hammer
Draconis Red Plastic with Sword of Light Highlights
Wolftrap, Venom, Spider, Jenner
Naginata, Dragon, Catapult-K, Komodo
A couple new mechs, some alternate poses or exhaust smoke, etc etc.
Death Commando Black Plastic w/ Green Highlights
Menshen, Vindicator, Raven, & Huron Warrior
Thunder, Goliath, Striker, Charger-1A5
I'm not even a fan of the above factions & I'd be hard pressed not to want to pick up some of those potential new sculpts.
