Just FYI, in case there's some confusion, this isn't a new sculpt for the Stalker. It's the first sculpt for the Stalker II, a new design from TR3145: Free Worlds League.

That Stalker II looks great, glad I just ordered one from IWM.

The one on the left appears to be the Stalker resculpt [20-383] which for some reason reminds me of Michael Jackson moonwalking . . .

Incoming fire has the right of way.

The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

Always remember that your weapon was built by the lowest bidder.

Looking at it, give that the Stalker II has the LRM racks in the torsos rather than the arms, I would be half-tempted to see what a hybrid of the original Stalker with the Stalker II legs would look like.
Barring that, use the old rear section with Stalker II forward section and legs. Hrm...

I'd just leave the arm pieces off the Stalker II, and bash up some projections from under the torso. Either way, looks great.

I think I will leave my one as a stock standard Stalker II  but it will certainly be getting a run as a Stalker proxy. I have three original sculpt Stalkers but now I will be able to do my LCAF Wall of Steel impression with a lance of Stalkers anchoring the centre of my battle-line }:)

Wow. Honestly guys, I had not given much consideration to the Stalker Re-sculpt before; I always thought it looked bad, but that is a really great angle on it.
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

This reminds me of when I was a little girl in Sweden growing up running through the fields listening to the soundtrack from 'The Sound of Music'.

I will get a picture of the cave lion tonight. Got delayed in getting images since I was trying to get minis assembled for painting. So we have painted minis to display at gencon.

Why, yes. Yes we do.

Oh, sorry. I guess you want to see them too.  :P

I haven't seen how the production version came out; it may be a little flatter due to the casting process. The pics of the master should give a good indication of the general size and detail though.

Very nice! That Regulator II is spot on. How am I supposed to catch up on my unpainted minis when there are so many great new ones coming out?

Is there any word on, or images of, the Vulture Mk. III?  I'm really looking forward to that one, and the release schedule says 2nd quarter, which ended a month ago.
