the wetworks section of the compliance division lost its funding after FASA closed
Yeah, that's why they turned to us freelancers.  Of interest to some, our guys leave a painted mini behind instead of origami cats.

Castle Asbestos? Just don't lick the walls.

Coming up on Page 50. I nominate the title as "Are We There Yet?" in recognition of the 30-something times people have asked when the Upcoming Releases page will be updated.

I really like this one, but if it were up to me, I'd save it for when the Mercs Kickstarter gets to the shipping phase, it'll be even funnier then

The original Cranston Snord’s Irregular book had the stats for it. It was a half ton light though and some of the armor placement/allocation was off. I’ll have to check my book when I can.  Going from some old memories.
FWIW, the half-ton was likely a variance to account and allow for a 45-ton head and 70-ton arms and left torso within the nominal 60-ton build. (Mathematically, the variance based on IS points/IS weight is ~0.38T). The armor values are all the same as the donor 'mech parts.

EDIT: I also found the original post about 30 minutes before I got to chopping up an extra archer and rifleman I procured specifically to "cosplay" as Shorty ;) I've already made one using Robotech Tacics minis.

Would love to see them.  Especially the RTT one.  I have one already made from the new KS minis, with the parts all painted up the default donor mech colors.

FWIW, the half-ton was likely a variance to account and allow for a 45-ton head and 70-ton arms and left torso within the nominal 60-ton build. (Mathematically, the variance based on IS points/IS weight is ~0.38T). The armor values are all the same as the donor 'mech parts.

Yes, Calgary Alberta. They announced that they are planning to run the event for all four days, from 11 am to 9 pm MST each day (Except the 26th which will end at 6 pm).

Yeah new releases are almost always Friday. Fiction drops can happen at odd times because Amazon does what Amazon wants

Forgot about the PDFs for a second and was wondering when CGL had started up their own line of painting primers.

That is available as I type this.   :thumbsup:

I check this site and the CGL store when I get online (store first), and saw it listed.  So now I've got the Kindle version.   ;D

Went BACK after seeing this thread, and didn't see any Premium PHK.   :-\  Maybe later in the day though?
