Raider JL-1 & JL-2 renders

EDIT : different angle of renders can be seen on Aries. Alternating between the two versions,
it looks like the MRM-pod and right hands (empty/RAC2) are separate/interchangeable parts.

I hope Catalyst gets a fixed record sheet for the Crucible 2 out now that the mini is coming soon.

I see a clan Widowmaker Amarok in my future. :D

That's how we wanted it! That's what I'll be buying!

How are they made? Is that blender or is that just a regular CAD program?

Hi, artist behind the Amarok model here. Are you asking for the renders that are shown, or the models themselves?

Alan Blackwell made the Raider and both myself and Alan use Blender to model. The renders shown, I have no idea, but I can safely say it's not Blender and is probably a free 3D file viewer - I suspect even just Windows 3D Viewer.

Here is a render for the Amarok that I did in Blender recently for comparison and general viewing pleasure of the forum.

Appreciate the extra info and your work! For whatever reason your rendering shot is much more flattering to the sculpt. There's something a big off about the first pic, but that won't matter once we get actual mini pics. I am sooo excited for the Amarok!

Am I looking at it correctly when I say it looks like the Amarok has the same arms as the Hammerhead?

Definitely very similar, which is in line with the fluff behind the design's development. I would imagine the Amarok's arms are significantly larger, and you can see that the hands are similar but not identical. Hammerhead has three equi-spaced claws and the Amarok has a two-finger/one middle gripper setup.

Crackerb0x · « **Reply #881 on:** 28 November 2022, 18:41:56 »

The legs also have a lot of design similarities. There's really a lot of things that are shared outside of that if you look carefully

Any word on the update for what is on the release schedule for 2023?

BRUH

Death_from_above · « **Reply #884 on:** 09 December 2022, 15:36:49 »

@Joewrightgm

My point is that there appears to be a single right arm with interchangeable parts for
JL-1 and JL-2 variants, as opposed to two complete right arms (one for each variant).

worktroll · « **Reply #885 on:** 09 December 2022, 18:32:26 »

Supposed to be that, anyway. More efficient.

Alex Keller · « **Reply #886 on:** 17 December 2022, 20:15:33 »

Crucible looks awesome! Here's hoping the Q1 release has the Jade Phoenix and Ion Sparrow!

worktroll · « **Reply #887 on:** 17 December 2022, 23:03:11 »

Any word of the Raider?

Sartris · « **Reply #888 on:** 17 December 2022, 23:47:10 »

it's available in at least american retail channels (i ordered two)

worktroll · « **Reply #889 on:** 18 December 2022, 03:27:23 »

Not in IWM's online shop yet :(

Kerfuffin(925) · « **Reply #890 on:** 18 December 2022, 05:11:47 »

Iirc they give a month or two for other vendors to sell them before they go live from IWM directly. But it should be soon given that timeline.

Sartris · « **Reply #891 on:** 18 December 2022, 10:20:46 »

Correct

If it's in blender, I wonder if it could be animated. ;D Looks good, though I'm not in love with claw like hands.

Any idea when the New Releases for the first half of this year will be announced?

Death_from_above · « **Reply #895 on:** 12 January 2023, 10:00:20 »

Just received my Raider thru a German retailer. Very nice sculpt.

Kit consists of following parts : front torso / rear torso (power plant) / pelvis + upper legs / lower legs + feet
/ left arm / and (contrary to what I was expecting) 2 complete right arms (1x JL-1, 1x JL-2)..

Colt Ward · « **Reply #896 on:** 12 January 2023, 10:08:08 »

Yeah, I just got the Crucible, Raider, and Sojourner B through Aries. I have not opened them up yet but look forward to putting them together over the weekend. Anyone who put the Crucible able to tell me what the '2' parts are in the kit?

Sartris · « **Reply #897 on:** 12 January 2023, 11:46:43 »

Just the arms

Alex Keller · « **Reply #898 on:** 12 January 2023, 11:52:59 »

The Crucible 2 uses the alternate arms with LRM pods

Colt Ward · « **Reply #899 on:** 12 January 2023, 14:07:43 »

Ah, have not opened it up and the blister is rather full, lol. FREX, easy to see the MRM & RAC arm on the Raider . . . I might have to magnetize that one.
