IWM Vehicles packs?
« on: 14 September 2013, 17:34:52 »
Hi there. As some aspects of the game evolved to mixed formation (Mechs with vehicles and battlearmors), will IWM release some vehicles packs based in the RAT as they already does with mechs?

Hmmm, that is a very good question.

I would actually like to see this split both ways; deals on larger vehicle packs, 4-12, of one type, say and singles of the double packs to dish out more variety in an order.

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.

I asked this because when i was looking for vehicles for my merc force using the 3145 RAT, almost all the vehicles were archived.

I remember that this was brought up a while ago but it seemed to have died on the vine...

Faction company-sized packs would be cool.

IMHO better as a company pack with 3 different vehicles, 4 of each.

This, like a full company, perhaps recon, striker & heavy/firesupport lances. A well balanced company pack

I really like that idea:

lance of patton (13.75 x 2 models): 27.50
lance of vedette (12.50 x 2 models): 25.00
lance of scorpion light tank (10.95 x 2 models): 21.90

total per company: 74.40

possible Vehicle pack price: 70 uss?

I'd love that, seeing as I'm putting together a 3028 era campaign featuring plenty of militia; but I think $70 for a dozen tanks is really only going to appeal to a few of us hardcore types.

Then a better option could be a "half mechanized company" so we could get 6 vehicles for 35 uss, as in the example. And there iwm could specialize each pack as support, combat, etc

Ok, after looking though the 3028/3039 faction lists, can I just order Vedettes by the pound? ;D

Yea not likely to sell 12 vehicles for $70 when a fair bit of the line has a convincing ghq stand in for much cheaper.

Its a solid idea though, encouraging combined arms is a great approach for AS.

Filtvelt Militia pack..
4 manticore Tank
4 Light SRM Carrier
4 pegasus Hover

 O:-)

value equal to:
Manticore: $27.50
Light SRM Carrier: $23.50
pegasus Hover: $21.90 (regular) or $25 (3058 sculpt)

for $72.90 or $76

all three are "made in Filtvelt" though. :)
