Me thinks the Pulverizer and the Stag are going to be very popular.

With any luck they won't be twice the size of the Atlas and completely out of scale with the rest of the line. Anyone see the Warlord? Yeesh... it's like the sculptor had never seen another 'Mech.

Possibly. That still hasn't been completely confirmed, but it's about 75%.

No it isn't. That part in The Blake Documents is NOT confirmed. It is rumors and possible evidence, but like the other Interstellar Players books it is not a complete fact. It may be completely wrong and doctored information!

The Battletech writers like doing that.

There's enough data from multiple sources to plot out what happened with the left-overs of Clan Wolverine. And the whole point of Blake Documents was to give us a more 'factual' look at the Jihad (unlike the Conspiracy books or even the Hotspot books. They can't just go "Yes it's all mostly true 'cept this bit so HA!". That would be stupid.

Actually Minnesota Clan is a reference from back in the day.
And was further expanded upon in some of the original House Books, Clan Books and some novels (1990's) IIRC.
The latest Wobbie rubbish I've not really read up on.
I had been playing this game since 1987ish, so I did have a lot of the source books. I believe they were first mentioned in the original Kurita book (198?)

Actually On Topic. Good to see IWM are producing some good stuff.

The Rampage really is coming out? Wow.

And Randall confirmed Record Sheets 3075, which is a nice bonus. I'm hoping for RS3060 and 3067 to be release in PDF as well, as that'd make life easier.

Well it's more dynamic than the original, but it's probably twice as tall. I'll pass.

Comparing bases it does look slighly taller, but nowhere near twice as tall. Personally I believe the original Sunder sculpt was slightly undersized to begin with. This looks to put it in scale with their resculpts of the Atlas, Hauptman and Banshee.

No, it is well scaled. The Australian Finance Group are VERY particular about minis when they get them made.
