I see that a Mastodon Prime was posted this morning and it is looking good.

The Ostsol that was posted today as Ragnar’s personal ride is listed as an Ostscout:  it needs the listing to be edited to read Ostsol!

Looks like the Grizzly that was uploaded today got tagged with Ghost Bear Beta Galaxy instead of Alpha Galaxy.

Have some of the older pictures been taken down?  Thanks!

I think they just haven’t gotten everything from the old site uploaded.

Wasn't anything specific, just feels like when I am searching for older miniatures it doesn't feel like there's as many pictures of them anymore. 

Site (and artistry!) has never been better, just curious is all.

Getting that removed.  We stopped tagging with unit names, and I didn’t appropriately pass on that info. Thanks!

Given the Late Succession War tag, I'm pretty sure it's Yorinaga Kurita.

Yes.  It's listed as such if you open one of the alternate pics.  However other Personalities have a brief note of who's 'Mech it is supposed to represent.  For example, the STK-3F Stalker seen HERE says "This model is painted to represent Adam Powell’s personal ‘Mech.".  There's a similar instance of the WHM-8R Warhammer seen HERE not noting that it's Anton's Marik's 'Mech.

The Kodiak II on the front page also has issues.  The link says it's Ghost Bear Rasalhague Galaxy but the paint job doesn't match the description or any of the other Rasalhague Galaxy minis' paint jobs, and it's not showing up under the Rasalhague Galaxy banner under forces.

Also, shouldn't Clan Ghost Bear become the Rasalhague Dominion from the Late Republic Era onward?

New entries don't seem to immediately show up with the appropriate unit.  For example, the Whitworth doesn't show up with the 45th New Samarkand Regulars, and I had to go back seven pages to Wolf's Drogoons Hunchback (posted 11/09/24) to find one that does.

Looks like it's from the Gunzburg Eagles. 
Not showing up on the Galaxy page is probably a cache issue.  I've purged, so hopefully it now shows.  This has become an issue as we've grown, and hopefully our upcoming site revamp will fix it permanently.

As for the Clan vs Dominion, we made a conscious decision to stay with Clan Ghost Bear and just add the Dominion units under that Faction.  If we're able to include what we refer to as Full Era Functionality! with the next revamp, that will be revisited. 
Short story is you can't currently present a filtered era-specific view to site visitors...we'd like to, but need more tech on the back end.

Yeah, that's caching.  Performance/issue vary by browser and device (due to the device's cache as well).

Just noticed that the Eleventh Sian Dragoons is not on either the Capellan Confederation faction page or the Unrepresented Units List.

Yeah, they’re in the list of thousands of units that aren’t on the site in any fashion.
Their increased role in the ilKhan era gives them a leg up for eventual inclusion.

Okay, I've got to ask what was used for the water effect on that Robinson's Rangers Sagittaire that was uploaded today?

That is fantastically cool! Was it the Woodland Scenics Realistic Water? How did you get it to stay in a hex shape?

Looks like resin, maybe with water effects added to the top for the waves? I'd think sheet styrene was probably used to build up the sides for the pour. I've never thought about doing that for a BT mini, but may give it a go now.

The second Thanatos that got posted today is misspelled as "Thanathos".

It hasn't been released yet, it's part of IWMs first 2025 release batch.
