This fortnight, we look at two medium 'Mechs featured in
Technical Readout: 3050. One of them, the
Assassin, has been with us for a lot longer, going back to
Technical Readout: 3025. (I'm not sure how I missed it earlier.) The other first appeared in
Technical Readout: 3050, the
Wolf Trap (or, originally, the
Tora, but not for very long). I haven't used either very much, so I refer you to their 'Mech of the Week articles (
Assassin and
Wolf Trap (Alpha Strike)).
The
Assassin has had three sculpts:
- The original sculpt (20-875). (I'm not completely sure this link is for the original sculpt.)
- The resculpt (20-875), also available in a beginners set version with an integral base (Recon Lance Pack, 10-039)
- The plastic sculpt, based on the resculpt, seen in previous versions of the BattleTech boxed set
The
Wolf Trap only has
one sculpt (20-811).
If you have any of these painted, please share pictures. We'd love to see them!
In the next few fortnights, I'm going to cover the remaining Unseen 'Mechs, starting with the
Rifleman and
Valkyrie. (I originally planned to post these about six months after Kickstarter fulfillment completed, and I think it's been longer than that.) After that, I'll resume the Inner Sphere/Clan rotation.
Our next two fortnights will be:
- 7/11: Rifleman
- 7/25: Valkyrie
