I know what one of them is.  Its not what you'd expect.  But its what you'd want.

*I did not sculpt it

I hope it to be a prime example of BattleTech.

As I am not authorized to say literally anything, I will only say it is really, really cool.  Anything more and you'll have to harass Speck :D

Are there any plans to offer the various Scapha hovertanks individually? I really want to order a small handful, but that mega pack is more than a little pricey.

Only when it's from Succession Wars or Clan Invasion Eras...

I can add that request to my list. It is something I have been wanting to do for awhile now.

Any Word on Gen Con stuff?  Will we have any "Specials" this year, or just the regular releases?   ???

Nope, as of now its just some backlog web only items and maybe something else if there is time.

Good thing I'm not sitting on a lot of them...<looks at the 6 on the shelf>...Sigh

LOL It's all good. I think it's a good idea to part them out honestly, and I'm all for it. Never thought to ask if it could be done.

That's a lot of hovertanks.  No wonder it's so pricey.

LOL yeah, but you've got to admit, it's the only design FULLY sculpted for all variants (If I recall)!

Also, the only design that had a mini sculpted with one of the turrets before there was stats. Had stats created for it and several variants that had parts made for them.

I had heard of that, but didn't know if it was official or not. Good to know!

I wonder what we can expect for next Year - some Classic Mechs with the new Design and multiple Configurations / Weapon options would be very nice.

I will be holding off painting some of the KS mechs waiting for arms and parts to modify them.

  I don't know that they've ever sold the clear resin Exterminator anywhere other than at Conventions.

I got one by contacting the people who do the conventions, apparently called bvtraders. Had to e-mail them and ask though.

And make sure to keep an eye out for updates from Iron Wind Metals, as we’re working closely with them on producing miniatures for the ’Mechs debuting in the RecGuide.

Hey Speck!  Since Gen Con is NEXT week (9 days from when I'm typing this), can you say IF IWM will have ANY "Convention Specials" at all this year?   ???


While we're used to CGL waiting until 3-4 days before the Con to announce anything they "Plan" on having at GC, IWM Usually tells us 3-4 WEEKS out.  So far though, not a peep, aside from that they intend to have "Something".   :-\

Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

That's from 2.5 weeks ago, and was in reply to ME asking before that.  Things can Sometimes change in that length of time. 

I asked/tagged Speck specifically since I know he works closely with IWM.  Thus, I figured HE if Anyone on these Forums, would know.
