MINIMUM 10 attack? holy cow, how many 11 attacks are there in this set?!

They're going to make a lot of original DA set units *completely* obsolete if they keep on doing that.

ditto, time to sell all my DA stuff :\

No, not really. I think alot of stuff currently out will survive a ten attack, and I think DA is the set that has most of it, followed by Fire For Effect.

As for it being an attractive sculpt.... Pretty mechs do not win battles.

Mr. Arnis Drummond sitting here on my desk thinks different :devious:

However, I'm happy with this preview. Pretty sculpt. I was SO hoping for a SH Phoenix Hawk! Liao and Swordsworn isn't bad either. For me, that's 3 out of 4 possibly useful figs. It seems the bucks on the preordered case won't be wasted.

How about a SH Praetorian Command vehicle next week? Pleaaase ... :knockedou

Very nice sculpt IMO. Hope they have defenses of 19 or better, otherwise they'll be charge bait (no agility). Also hope that at least some of them have both ballistic and energy. SS one could be great in Solaris VII since it's in the light class - not many 0/14 energy attacks in that class, and the vent 1 is not a problem in the arenas.

Glad to see the 10+ attacks. Looks like the mistakes of FFE will not be repeated.

I like the sculpt. Very cool looking. Sucks that BR gets one, especially the Elite one while SS gets the green unit. Should have been switched maybe. Glad they start at 10 attacks. Defenses probably low though.

Waiting for Warflail to come along and say: Why bother with PHawk, Arnis charges it, game over.

Thanks WK for a great looking Mech and hopefully they have good overall stats. I'd love for the PHawk to see some play.

Now, Note I did not say "pretty mechs with good stats" I just said Pretty mechs ;) *looks at his Faisell/Arnis Army and quickly hides it*

@ @

so cool!

I doubt the DF will be getting one if all of the weapons ranges are going to be 14".

I could be wrong though, maybe they will get an LE version and have their first ever 'Mech with a 14" weapons range.

Hmm.. Light mech with no agility. Thats about as useful as tits on a bull. The Moljnirs and Raiders will eat this guy alive.

Nice sculpt tho.

The Scourge finally get a non unique battlemech Hooray!

To bad no good news for the Highlanders yet.

OKAY...ONE think has not been talked about yet..

IF you look at the beggining of the script it says..

"FULL SHOT (SPECIAL EFFECT)".. and if you read it talks about moving and shooting...HUMMMm

I reads as if it is just dialogue but..

I reread the fluff and is it possible that when they say 8-9 clicks deep they mean combat clicks not the salvalge ones? It could be there are 2-4 salvage clicks on this guy's dial.

Also Is it me or does the P-hawk lend itself well to looking like a LAM?

Rumph: Given that the P-Hawk is one of the designs that was originally (before the lawsuit-imposed redesign) copied from the Macross Valkyrie - the transforming fighterjet/mecha that inspired LAMs in the first place - and that the P-Hawk LAM was the only playable LAM in the original 3025 TRO - I'd say yes, it's good LAM material. :)
