Excellent!

All the new CGL redesigns being made in metal is great, but I just hope we'll get more of the IWM resculpts for MW4 mechs like Thanatos and Argus or Osiris, because the ones for the Uziel, Chimera, Hellspawn are absolutely *perfect*

It's not exactly up to the same standards as the Uziel or Chimera resculpts, but it's loads better than the original.

Oh I'm aware of that resculpt, but considering I think it looks less like the artwork and the MW4 design than the original miniature, especially around the cockpit, kind of tend to pretend it doesn't exist.
I think it'd be massively improved by just taking the MW4 model and making a miniature out of it, like they did with the Uziel and the others

Hopefully at least some of that stuff will be new, and not variants or other units whose base chasses are already available from IWM or CGL.

Best case, some of THAT stuff won't be mechs.

Amazing case, one of that last group will be the Tribune. O:-)

I think the Kickstarter work has been delaying finalization of 3D files/molds for IWM.

Well, yeah.  The Hierofalcon is one of IWM's best sculpts of all time.  I simply cannot say enough good things about it.  I have high hopes for the Jade Phoenix.  The Ion Sparrow would be nice too!

I'd like it if we could get at least one of the new Bear mechs before any more Falcon mechs.

Or Wolf mechs, or Raven mechs…

It would be nice to see IWM accomplish a larger release schedule. I don't know how realistic that is financially, but there are certainly the minis to be made.

It was on a fan funding poll a few years ago but didn’t garner much support

I have to have some Stormbird BA to go with the Hierofalcon, Jade Phoenix, and Ion Sparrow

That's because Dale Eadeh (the artist and sculptor in this case) is an absolute stud.   

I'd like it if we could get at least one of the new Bear mechs before any more Falcon mechs.

I think you'll be happy with what's in the works... :-X

I would do dirty, dirty things for a Eurus sculpt. IMO, it's one of the biggest highlights of the recent RecGuides.

Me too.  Looks like he hasn't logged in since March 27th, nearly 2 months ago.
