By my count, that puts the Pixiu, Swallow, R10 and Narukami in the lead with 4 individual votes each.

worktroll · « **Reply #31 on:** 04 February 2023, 04:47:41 »

Still need to point out that the Pixiu and Narukami are very limited by faction availability.

And Colt Ward, didn't forget the Bolla - but availability just WoB/Republic. The R10 is the omniAPC for the rest of us :)

On top of that, the R10 would lend itself well to a dual build with a pair of turrets (Prime & A)

.. boards the Damnation Alley train and adds the R10 to suggestions.

I'm totally on board that Fan Finance is a gateway to ~~powers some consider unnatural~~ getting minis with limited appeal into existance. The Raider wasn't exactly something everyone was lusting for, amiright?

But if we're looking at Dark Age vehicles as a class, I'd expect uptake to be better with generalist designs, with the possibility of getting a few funded. Except it may be necessary to wait until the Mercs KS has dropped; I doubt I'm the only one hoarding hobby budget for that.

I do not know, how good they look will also be important.

The what? ???

Weirdo · « **Reply #37 on:** 04 February 2023, 15:07:49 »

The thing I suggested that isn't the Kruger. :)

I think that things which don't already have an existing MWDA mini should take precedence. If someone wants an R10, it's easy enough to find one and pop it off its dial, for far less than the cost of a pewter mini.

worktroll · « **Reply #39 on:** 04 February 2023, 17:49:12 »

R10 is unfortunately massive - bigger than a metal Behemoth or Ontos (can do pics).

I confess I picked up a bunch of them, because their turrets are perfect for converting Saladins to the TAG/SRM variant. I keep meaning to turn the hulls into subs, eg. the Moray.

Mixed emotions on not covering those with a DA mini - while I did buy heaps a decade or so ago and am still using up the horde, availability is not that great - you can find them, but the prices are rising. And I think Demo Agents can't use DA minis in official games. In the meantime though I still use them.

If something is only available on the secondary market, it's not available.

Gossamer VTOL since it was mentioned last year

This... And other VTOLS

Gossamer
Skadi Swift Attack
Yasha
Red Kite

worktroll · « **Reply #42 on:** 06 February 2023, 03:50:17 »

I've been spoiled with DA Skadis and Yashas, but could support them. The Red Kite is pretty limited distribution (League and Wolf only)

Lol, if the quadvees were available last year, we would have put some in the Gen Con Bloodright, since it was Hell's Horses.

You had the Arion.

CranstonSnord · « **Reply #44 on:** 06 February 2023, 21:12:17 »

True, and we considered it for the Grand Melee, but it wasn't good enough to compete with the field of Medium mechs.

Kojak · « **Reply #45 on:** 08 February 2023, 17:34:12 »

Pixiu or Hadur

Hellraiser · « **Reply #46 on:** 08 February 2023, 17:49:05 »

I can not possibly suggest a 3150 vehicle while the Ferret from 3026 is still missing!!! (The Humanity!!!)

Okay, fine, how about the Arrow-IV Vehicle

Are we allowed to suggest vehicles that were introduced in the Rec Guides, like the Whirlwind or Falcon?

Weirdo · « **Reply #49 on:** 08 February 2023, 21:31:20 »

Pretty sure Speck is specifically asking for stuff from TROs 3145 and 3150.

Thanks Sartis, took those off the list.

Death_from_above · « **Reply #51 on:** 09 February 2023, 13:37:51 »

Pixiu and R10 in the lead with 5 votes each, followed by Gossamer, Swallow and Narukami with 4 votes each..

Colt Ward · « **Reply #52 on:** 09 February 2023, 14:58:28 »

Pretty sure the Kruger received more than 4 votes . . .

Scotty · « **Reply #53 on:** 09 February 2023, 15:04:59 »

It has received votes from one person (or two, if you're also voting for it)

jimdigris · « **Reply #54 on:** 09 February 2023, 16:51:09 »

I vote Gossamer and Pixiu.

Winterhawk APC
JI2A1 Attack APC
Marten Scout VTOL

No love for the Zahn?

I'd love to see a Zahn. Love the Aliens APC but a bus aesthetic.

VTOL love too, especially the Lamprey, DI Multipurpose and Marten (cause it looks like a Ferret). Zibler too.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #57 on:** 10 February 2023, 13:15:53 »

As was mentioned the Zibler has been done.

Lamprey makes me sad . . . the MWDA one has the perfect Hind look, the TRO art ruins that, I would hope a mini looks closer to the MWDA mini than the TRO art.

Talpini · « **Reply #58 on:** 10 February 2023, 13:45:26 »

Ah yes, Zibler done and discussed... Best pick one up so.

I like the dopey Lamprey, but could go either way...

EmperorVN · « **Reply #59 on:** 10 February 2023, 14:03:54 »

Would love to see the Hadur, Swallow and DI Multipurpose VTOL.
