This fortnight, we look at two favored 'Mechs of the Free Worlds League, the
Hermes and
Hermes II. The
Hermes II harkens back to
Technical Readout: 3025 and the
Hermes to
Technical Readout: 2750, so they've been around a while. We don't have a 'Mech of the Week article for either of them, but one is a scout 'Mech and one is a mixed bag lighter medium 'Mech, so you can probably figure out how to use them.
The
Hermes II has had three sculpts:
- The original metal sculpt (20-885).
- The beginners set sculpt, based on the original sculpt above (currently sold in the Striker Lance pack, 10-041).
- The plastic sculpt released by CGL in the previous generations of the introductory boxed set, based on the metal beginners set sculpt
The original
Hermes II sculpt is a one-piece miniature, with the flamer on one arm and a hand on the other. I find this makes this mini a good candidate for testing paint schemes (like the
Clint).
The
Hermes only has a
single sculpt (20-252).
If you have any of these miniatures painted, please post pictures. We'd love to see them!
As always, thank you for reading, and a special thank you to those of you who will post!
Is there a mini you want to see covered in Q2? Place your request in the
scheduling thread! I'll be scheduling the rest of that quarter soon!
Our next two fortnights will be:
- Clan (3/23): Fire Falcon and Cougar
- Inner Sphere (4/6): Quickdraw
