Title: Miniature of the Fortnight #50: Warhammer IIC
Post by: Xiwo Xerase on 29 August 2018, 09:34:59

Once upon a time, there was the Warhammer and BattleTech was a Mad Max-ish setting called the Inner Sphere.  The universe evolved and became something new and different.  And then came the Clans with their OmniMechs.  But they needed BatleMechs for second-line forces (given the resource limitations imposed on the Clans) and so we got some in Technical Readout: 3055.

I'm not entirely sure what decision processes led to the Warhammer IIC but here we are.  To learn about the 'Mech, please see its 'Mech of the Week (https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,50397.0.html) article.

As one of the 'Mechs with artwork commissioned from a third party (I believe Victor Music Industries.  I'm sitting in an airport as I write this and not near my books.), it became Unseen during the kerfuffle of the late '90's and then had a Reseen version in Techinical Readout: Project Phoenix and then new artwork again in Technical Readout: 3085.  Each different set of artwork has its own sculpt:

• The original Unseen miniature was released by Ral Partha as 20-796.
• The Warhammer IIC 4 (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/494/warhammer-iic-4) based on the Project Phoenix art was released by IWM as 20-233.
• The Warhammer IIC 8 (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/1608/warhammer-iic-8) based on the TRO 3085 art was released by IWM as 20-5073.

If you have any Warhammer IICs painted, Unseen or Reseen (or Classic in the far off possible future), please post them.  We'd love to see them!

Thank you for reading and a special thank you to those of you who post.

Our next two fortnights will be:

• Inner Sphere (9/10): Shogun
• Clan (9/24): Marauder IIC

Two Warhammer IICs of my Star Adder Tau Galaxy cluster. Different camos per trinary. And one trinary got a new one, while the other trinary got the old model. ;)

Just 2 from me.  Original release and resculpt.  Went with some animated inspired color schemes from that time.

Here's one I did many, many years ago. Not in a canon color scheme. Sorry about the mold lines on the cockpit.
