Title: New release pictures?
Post by: Fidel Cashflow on 14 April 2015, 09:08:04
Hello,

Would it be possible to even see rough pictures of the next wave of releases? I really am interested in a few; and would pre order them today, but I need proof of life.

I need pictures.

I am not alone.

We are legion, and we all need pictures.

 [stupid] [soapbox] [applause]

While last I heard from my contacts at IWM, only 1 design was in house (but that was roughly 2 weeks ago)...it's very possible they don't have images of them yet...but...

I agree...pictures would be awesome! Especially painted masters by the CSO guys!

Already pre-ordered the Stalker II. Hoping the legs can be assembled as intended, ie not like a silly chickenwalker instead of hardcore demolitions blimp.

You see folks, Fidel is a visual creature. Shiny objects attract his attention. The more awesome and over the top the better. He is a creature of the eye. He is the artistic member of our Battletech group and our go to guy for things that are cool looking.  :D

Stop being polite. His Elvis on velvet series was horrible, but the Creepy Clowns was sheer genius . ;D

I haven't even seen Pics up for the Agrotera, and the First quarter releases. (Except the Zeus X, when I saw mastergunz updated his profile pic on camospecs) but I had to Google 'Mastergunz Zeus x' to get it! :(

I am super excited about the stalker II. Love the fluff and the TRO graphic, Hope the mech is as excellent!

The Stalker II has been modeled by me and it looks like this

(http://www.sarna.net/wiki/images/0/08/Stalker_II.jpg)

I dunno if i'm allowed to post renders of it so I won't unless one of the higher ups gives me the go ahead. But the legs are modeled to look exactly like this picture (the legs themselves not the pose). And it's a chicken walker in the picture so that's how I modeled it and that's how it's assembled. If you want to change it you'll have to modify the mini.

If you are the Sentinel373 from MWO forums, I will pre-order this sight unseen, hell I'll order four.

Non-seriously, I'd call it "all the better to **** you with, my dear". Heck, we had Cochrane's Goliaths and Miller's Marauders, why not a company of four Stalkers, four Mackies, and four Jenners, as "Dilbert's ________" (space left to be filled by dirty minds) O0

Do a search of Sentinel373's work. You will be impressed.
I have not and would not pre order any IWM mechs sight unseen, but I'm ordering four of these.

Still would like to see pictures though.

you guys are giving me too much credit :) (please continue :P) Since technically only one of my Official sculpts has been released so far. I've made more but they haven't been released yet for reasons unknown to me. But I'm glad you guys think so highly of me.

I hope I'll be able to post a render of the Stalker II at some point but I wont until one of the higher ups give me the thumbs up. I'm quite happy with the model though and I think you guys will like it.
I worked closely again with Anthony Scroggins who designed the Stalker II to ensure it's exactly as he envisioned it.

We are definitely NOT giving you too much credit. Your work speaks for itself Sentinel! Seriously, you're a very talented person, and we cannot thank you enough for what you do. Hopefully someday, the higher ups will realize the potential money being held aside for your most famous project that shall remain nameless!!! lol

No, but it will have anyone looking for pictures of new miniatures confused. They're looking for... you know. New pictures. Not fight club jokes, I imagine. Fun for the people posting, but not useful to anyone else. Kind of a "general discussion" topic and not "Iron Wind Metals."

Someone mentioned the Agrotera, but it's been out since Gen Con 2014.  They had it in the display case in the IWM booth at the Con, so I'm sure there are pics of it somewhere.

Yes, I would love to see a picture of it.

ALOT of hype in our group is the new Stalker II, I think we are close to getting a picture.....
Knowing who the designer was makes purchasing those sight unseen a no brainer

The other mechs have cool illustrations, but (no offense) that sometimes turns into wonky designs.
I can only hope we will see pictures of those soon. Please IWM, I want to make it rain.

Much better photo of the Agrotera and as usual a fantastic paint job, Psycho!  I've got one ordered to add to my 3045 House Hiritsu and this photo makes me glad I bought it.   ;)

Ooooh!  I like that tank.  Very impressive paint job, too.  I may buy one just to paint it up, seeing as I don't have any Lyran, FedSun or Republic units it would fit in.

Why?
Title: Re: New release pictures?
Post by: DarkSpade on 21 May 2015, 14:50:37
Why?

I'm trying to find a better way to put this, but the best I can come up with is I'm looking to buy the miniature, not the paint job.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing a well painted mini.  Every day I check out new posts in the minis section of the forums and I check CSO for updates several times through out the week, but when I'm shopping IWM, I much prefer to see just the model itself.  After all, that's what I'm shopping for.  I don't mind the black wash because that helps show off the model's details that might otherwise get lost in a smaller photo. 

Paint doesn't bother me so much on larger scale plastic kits, but for small metal minis I find the bare metal just sells the mini to me better(when shopping).

I have to agree with DarkSpade to a degree.  I love seeing some of those professional level paint jobs on a mech, and I'll admit a good paint job has sold me more than once.  Bare metal with a black wash, however, is the best way to really check out the miniature and all its details.

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

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...
Title: Re: New release pictures?
Post by: worktroll on 13 July 2015, 18:39:20
I'd just leave the arm pieces off the Stalker II, and bash up some projections from under the torso. Either way, looks great.
Title: Re: New release pictures?
Post by: Feenix74 on 13 July 2015, 19:25:05
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 }:)

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.

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.

Sooo. Third quarter releases are 'just' the Highlander flashman, and cataphract.

Have there been any pics of the cataphract?

The other 2 are on the fan Finance page and B-3 has basically hit them out of the park.

Wonder what happened to the Mad Dog III that was supposed to hit web only with the Grand Summoner. (I refuse to call it Thor II  :P)

Looks like a mean son-of-a-gun, B-3!

Peeking though your Photobucket account, though, what's that white plastic WIP that comes right after the new Cataphract?  Looks sort of Clan-ish but I don't recognize the line art that goes with it?   ^-^

what gunji said. I'm quite happy with the lui wei, and i think you guys will like it as well. #Bestvictor It's probably my most detailed miniature to date. The quasimodo is still in progress as i had to finish off a certain other classic mech :P

My TOTALLY biased opinion would be the reimaged Thunderbolt, but since we've yet to even see artwork of it, I'll go with guessing either the reimaged WHM or MAD.   ???  Which means we'll be seeing one of them in Metal before much longer!   [drool]   :Jumpy:
