Found the Onager and Shadwcat II
« on: 14 February 2012, 01:02:39 »
As the title says, found these two at a local game store today. Looking forward to seeing what they look like when assembled if anybody has managed to get them (I hate being broke...)

I ordered mine sight unseen from the War Store today (along with a Flamberge and a Nova Cat) and I'm pretty psyched- the Onager is one of my favorite 'mechs based on aesthetics alone. I hope they don't take too long to come in.

I'm hopefully optimistic about these two. Both had fantastic art in the tro so hopefully the minis will reflect this.

Saw both at the store, an unassembled, they look pretty good. Lots of detail, not too tall...looking forward to buying both, even if I'm not looking forward to using that Shad in combat.

I'm looking forward to the Onager.  Wish they'd get some pics on IWM so I could see it.  None of my usual Ebay sellers have it in stock yet.

i just ordered the shadowcat and the onager, and am very excited. I hope they look really good so as to do justice to the sweet art. These two are definitely going into my jade falcon alpha star

The two I've been looking forward to most from that book (along with the Bruin). My gaming budget has been very limited the past few months, but I think I can scrape enough together for these.

Free? No, not the minis. I do get a comp copy of each book, sometimes two or three for the TRO's. I have to buy the minis myself. If I'm supposed to get them for free, then someone forgot to tell me  :'(

Got my Shoadowcat II today. It's actually a pretty nice mini, my only gripe is that the legs are way to small.

The model hardly resembles the artwork, and the gun arm is embarrassingly poorly resculpted.  Not to mention the mispackaging of the heat sinks(has since been corrected).

Would it be at all possible to get some pictures of the Onager from other angles? I'd like to be able to give it full consideration before I try and cancel my order.

Did the Onager go on a diet and suddenly decided it wanted to be a ballerina?

If I get this then I am gonna have to straighten that leg and pad it out with some greenstuff.

Shadow Cat II is awesome. Onager... that leg needs some changing. It does look a little thin, but meh- the leg is the thing I'll need to be able to change.

 :o this Onager....  :'( Where it lost his dignity of 90 ton of hardened battlesteel?

Three from four mechs of this IWM update, do back-kicking.  Onager, Mongoose II, Osprey. They got backstabbers onto their close six?
