What's in the Pipeline 2: the Wrath of Speck

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

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

Though he did post the announcement of the Ares Apollo's release on IWM's homepage on April 28th.  That's still over two weeks ago.

[Kerfuffin(925)]

I figured the IWM Social medias that popped up around the same time overwrote a lot of what he posted here

It’s why I posted in the thread about the ares variant when I saw it a few days later

[Stinger]

Hahaha...yes, yes they will...as long as everyone turns their stuff in on time.

Lol, I am done! Just waiting on one more approval...

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

Its some of my absolutely best work. I think they'll be pleased...

I hope everything is ok with Speck, haven't heard from him in a while.

He's good! I talked to him very recently!

Excellent, thanks for the update.

[Charistoph]

I'm kind of hoping to see the Vali show up at some point.  It's a long shot, as it's basically extinct, but it's a beautifully simple Artillery vehicle.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

I'm feeling a bit concerned about how things are at IWM given how long it's been since any news has come out from them.

The Jade Phoenix would be nice.

Yes it is coming, along with the Mastadon and one more (once its finalized). I am still around, just had a lot going on the last few weeks. Finally getting caught up on a variety of projects. I will have the first release of 2023 on IWM web store this week.

Question: can we expect to see variants of the Jade Phoenix and Mastodon, or just the primes?  Looks like there are a few variants of both that could be made just by swapping arms.

Yes, one variant each.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

I love you but my wallet doesn't.

[Greatclub]

Yes, one variant each.

variants as optional bits, or seperate SKU,

Is it going to be the A variant in all cases?

Thanks

[Daritus1988]

Any idea of what’s next for Q2 or Q3?

HEAVY METAL

[Alex Keller]

Yes, one variant each.

It's Happening!  It's Happening!!!  WOOHOO!   :thumbsup:

Speck, what about the Ion Sparrow/Butcherbird?  Is that coming as well?

Mastadon variant will be D. Plan is to have the arms in the Prime blister.
Jade Phoenix will be the A in a separate SKU.

It's on the list to do in the future.

Ah, was hoping that would be the case.  Any chance of getting some other variants as online exclusives?

[jimdigris]

Is the Doom Courser anywhere in the pipeline?

[speck]

That is a possibility yes.

Is the Doom Courser anywhere in the pipeline?

It is on the list to be done.

[Weirdo]

Any non-mech stuff in the pipe?

[Sellsword]

Can we round out the Jade Falcon trilogy of Omnimechs with some Stormbird battlearmor?  I know people who would be willing to finance the BA.

[I am Belch II]

I would be all about that Stormbird BA when it comes out.

Hey Speck,

At one point, variants for the Commando and Thunderbolt were mentioned IIRC.

Are those still on the drawing board/in the pipeline or have they been superseded ?

[Greatclub]

non-premium hammerhead? (your shipping is much more survivable)

[Prometheum5]

Any news on the Iron Cheetah or Viper? The Cheetah features prominently in a recent fiction release, would have been awesome to have the mini debut alongside that.

It’s a possibility, but with CGL keeping them instock I do not want to take away a production slot of something else we could do to release.

I have checked on the Iron Cheetah, but there are a few other Reg Guide ilClan mechs I have as higher priority.

Viper, are you referring to the Viper /Dragonfly of the new art from the first KS? If so, it’s not on my initial list of mechs from Clan Invasion KS to have done in metal. I have only so many production slots and I am picking certain mechs as the initial release. I may prioritize some second line clan mechs since they never got a resculpt in metal like the 3050 omni mechs. The exception to that would be the Mad Cat since it’s a super popular mech.

[speck]

I will have the first release of 2023 up on IWM this week. I wanted to have it up last week, but did not work out and ran out of time before I left for Origins.

[Death_from_above]

They are still on the list.

Much appreciated, thank you Sir

No, I suspect they are referring to this mech:

I would love a sculpt for that.
