Should the Blood Asp A have the torso mounted Gauss Rifles? I would think you just have a PPC and a heavy laser in the hands and nothing on the shoulders.

How different is that Ebon Jaguar from the old one?

Looks like the Blood Asp A comes with extra gauss rifles. No complaining here!! Beautiful.

I think I prefer the look of the older Cauldron Born. This one looks.... a little too tall and not as smooth.

Thanks for the update, Speck!

Ah, IWM marketing strikes again. It is an odd photo. What you can't possibly see in that shot is that there is a hip piece.

ah yuck, new Cauldron-Born looks too tall, almost Bushwhacker-esque

I believe it's based off the original Invading Clans artwork, which looks rather different from the later TRO3058 art.

Ah... enabling the Cauldron Born to torso twist is a good thing.

a 65 ton mech matching height of a 55 ton mech? whats the issue?

I love the new Cauldron Born! This is the resculpt my group has been waiting for since TRO 3058. Looks great!

Great to see the outstanding Blood Asp configs available now. [rockon]
For the Cauldron ... i'll wait to see that sculpt in real. On the pic it seems everything gone worse.

It's not a weight issue - it's specific to the Cauldron-Born. The current Cauldron-Born mini is very low to the ground, unusually so, but I think it's a favorable look for it, which flows with the CB's errata. Low and deadly says 'Predator' to me.
The Bushwacker's lineart and errata say it's a very low-slung mech, but the model isn't and I find it's weapon pods to have a tacky appearance, too distinct from the rest of the torso to look they belong there. IMO, the new CB sculpt loses the original's elegant and deadly appearance, a fairly unique look, to follow the Bushwacker's disjointed style. Its torso weapon pods look too far set off from the body and it just bothers me

As long as they keep the original CB sculpt on the market I'm good.

Are there any plans to offer other Cauldron Born variants, or just the Prime?

Jal Phoenix · « **Reply #14 on:** 17 November 2011, 00:07:21 »

Is this the AFG-sculpted Cauldron Born? If so, all of you complaining are going to do some first-class shutting up when you see some real pics of it. ;)

I am willing to bet the A Variant parts from the bounty hunter pack will eventually be made seperatly and can be worked onto this

The CB in the picture does not look all that great. The old sculpt is also not bad at all. I will reserve judgment until better pictures surface.

The Blood Asp variants are very cool. The ATM 3 hand fans look pretty nifty.

Just a note, I will be re-posting the Blood Asp A picture when I have an updated on from Mike.

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #21 on:** 23 November 2011, 12:28:32 »

I just went onto the site to see the pics. The blood asps look great but no pic came up of the ebon jag. Is it just my phone or was the pic taken down?
