Ben's Generics - Team Purple
« on: 25 February 2019, 00:34:05 »
So, my Team Purple is pretty obvious, and is typical, since the Marik Militia happens to have the national colors as depicted on the map, and in the house books, and... you get the idea.

First up is the iconic lance, but I actually have a demi-company finished. So the lance has some swap-out options.

Each Mech is one that is popular in the FWL, or is in-house:
Hermes II - in-house design
Assassin - popular
Archer - popular
Longbow - started out as in-house

Trebuchet - more common than popular, I think
Quickdraw - also common

Eventually, I'll have the names all linke to different Minis of the fortnight posts.

But, I'll double-up for now, since most of them don't have a page that I can find.

The full company will be as follows:
Spider
Cicada
Assassin
Hermes II
Vulcan
Trebuchet
Quickdraw
Archer
Orion
Longbow
Awesome
Stalker

Hermes II and Assassin are part of the unreprinted 7 from the prior boxed set, not seeing a reprint in any lance packs.

The Quickdraw is a common design, and even got a mention in the TR '25 write-up of the Marauder where a full regiment of Liao Marauders were cornered and demolished in a box canyon by Marik Riflemen and Quickdraws.

For a runway shot of the Trebuchet, follow the link in the first post. Leads to a photo in a Miniature of the Fortnight thread dedicated to the Mech.
