Gen Con 2017 New Releases

[SCC]

Well, duh, they where LANCE Packs, never will contain a Star of 'Mechs, any that do would be STAR Packs instead. Seriously doubt if we'll ever get Level II Packs.

[SteveRestless]

Indeed. and I consider that a problem.

[Major Headcase]

I can't access the picture links. How about posting the actual pics here??

[Mech42ace]

Here you go

[SteelRaven]

Wow, that Catapult looks great!

[Sartris]

Reminds me of the plastech fatapult's torso with bigger missile pods

[pheonixstorm]

I wish someone would show the old Ral Partha Catapult some love... I still prefer that sculpt over the IWM one and the Plastic one. This newer one isn't too bad but still needs to go on a diet :P

[YingJanshi]

I like that Cat better then the flattened torso one from the previous box sets. All those minis look beautiful...

[Wildonion]

I honestly thought we would just be getting the existing plastic Catapult. I can't wait to see what the Commando and Awesome look like!

[Adrian Gideon]

Well I can cite atleast one. None of them were Star Packs.

This is valid.

[Major Headcase]

That's a good looking Cat. Even if it does have cankles...  ;D

[I am Belch II]

That Cat is a little large in the torso to me.

Still looks nice in person.

[Sharpnel]

That Cat is a little large in the torso to me.

Still looks nice in person.

Agreed. It's almost as bulky looking as the old CityTech version of the Cat

[avon1985]

Wow! I really like that Catapult!  The rest look great too.  I could see my buying more than one box just to get the minis if they look that good in the final product.

[Ruger]

Wow, that Catapult looks great!

I think we just found my new favorite version of the Catapult mini...

Looks great from this angle...

Ruger

[Deadborder]

That is a noice looking Cataplut.

[Pat Payne]

Here you go

This reinforces my trust in the team chosen to "face lift" the minis. That Catapult looks lean and mean. Six-to-whenever-months can not go by fast enough.

[Stallion12]

So what I'd available at gencon?

[Doom]

Agreed. It's almost as bulky looking as the old CityTech version of the Cat

Do you mean PlasTech?

[Sartris]

Citytech 2nd ed had a pair of victors, orions, centurions, and javelins. Plastech had the fatapult

[Lorcan Nagle]

So what I'd available at gencon?

2nd Succession War, BattleMech Manual TRO: Succession Wars and Legacy were all for sale, with faction dice and poker chips as the only exclusive items.

[Liam's Ghost]

Agreed. It's almost as bulky looking as the old CityTech version of the Cat

The way the size of minis has been creeping up in the years since the fatapult, that might not be a bad thing.

[GRUD]

I just want to say that Brent is a Big Meanie and wouldn't let me take this Fanjoy-Painted Beauty Home.   :'(


He wouldn't even let me take one of the un-painted ones home either!   :(


But it was AWESOME playing against him and Randall in Master & Minions!   O0   [applause]  [applause]

[Sartris]

The Atlas and Catapult especially were kind of wonky compared to the rest of BT scale at the time. The CityTech 2ed minis were huge in comparison. After some craziness between 3067 and 3075 (eg the Stiletto and Warlord), and some that were scaled to... I dunno what (I'm looking at you, Targe), things have settled a bit.

Modern light sculpts tend to fit a bit more with their forefathers. The heavies and assaults are definitely bulkier (Mangonel, Lament, Tian-Zong, Shrike, Shiro, Hatamoto-Suna, etc). Personally, I like the increased heft. Most of the 3145/50 stuff has been excellent. Some have a giant pile of parts like the Atlas III, but they still can get good detail with more basic builds like the Mortis.

[Scotty]

I would just like to mention that the new Uziel is ****** satisfying just to look at.  It's a beefy mini, but it feels perfect.

Thanks :) It was fun fixing that one up for miniature production.

[Valkerie]

Thanks :) It was fun fixing that one up for miniature production.

Yeah, gotta give you big props on that one.  8)   Takes me back to MW4: Mercenaries  {>{>

Going to need a couple of those, some Hellspawns, a Chimera...

[I am Belch II]

The new minis for the new Boxed Set, look great.

[Bedwyr]

The new minis for the new Boxed Set, look great.

Yes they do.

[Wrangler]

Catapult really did need a new mold.  I was happy with the throwback 1st gen mold myself.

Lord, this thread was so long.  I thought it was still talk on miniatures. I totally missed the video on the What Up with Catalyst!  :P
