More tasty battletech tonight-
A little clan on clan action, steel viper alpha galaxy VS clan hells horse iota galaxy.
Silly thing about this game my commander (hell star) took 2 head hits and immediately went to take a nap and missed half the battle.
Not to worry in true horse tradition my strike tanks and proto mechs came to the rescue. including iota's penchant for headhunting command elements
the tally wasn't good for the Vipers. every mech was put into forced withdrawal from damage save the executioner who saw the way the wind was blowing and surrendered the field.
the horse side lost a timber wolf, a strike tank, with light damage to the tomahawk II, a protomech and heavy damage to the hell star.

Has there been any communication from Catalyst about where things are headed in terms of further plastic mini releases? We know Scroggins and co have been doing concept art and 3D models for what seems to be a pretty extensive range of additional sculpts (easily a few dozen more mechs), but no real indication as to whether they will be connected to another kickstarter or if there are more direct-to-retail forcepacks coming, etc.

Nothing from Catalyst. Quite understandable, since because of supply issues or whatever they end up missing most projected deadlines- Tamar Rising, the awesome sourcebook that finally dropped this week, was supposed to have been out around November of last year.
Scroggins did say that the Wolf's Dragoon assault Star was only a small taste of things to come on facebook a few days ago, though that's hardly official or a timeline.

Well thats my bad then. I didn't know the Annihilator wasn't a part of anything else, I was told / read that the wolf's dragoons box was just alt poses or special variants of everything that had already come out.
Doing a check here: https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Miniatures_-_Catalyst_Game_Labs
They don't even list that box's contents.

Paying more than double or even triple (outrageous shipping, plus VAT, plus "expenses") for the privilege is not really an option.

Wave 2 ForcePacks
Wolf’s Dragoons ForcePack
Spotlight On: Hellion Keshik
Price: $3.99, PDF
Death From Above. No words better describe Hellion Keshik, the bodyguard Trinary for Clan Goliath Scorpion’s saKhan. Few formations conjure terror amongst their enemies more than this assemblage of warriors. Forged from tattered remnants of two Clans, one Absorbed and the other Abjured, Hellion Keshik welded their disparate philosophies into one. As the tip of the spear for Hellion Galaxy, the Keshik does more than protect the saKhan. These warriors train endlessly and fight savagely like no others in the Scorpion Touman. The Keshik has never tasted defeat, because victory is so sweet.
Spotlight On: Hellion Keshik includes a Unit History, Personalities, Personnel Rosters, Mission Tracks, and data for use with all scales of BattleTech play.

I need to find myself an old school Crusader somewhere. I don't like the current iteration of the design. Then printlike a full company of 55 toners, can't never go wrong with those.

I did find a nice one on Thingymawajit.
I know what you mean about the new sculpt - whilst it's really good, it's one of the few where I prefer the old one. Those forearm LRMs give me bad Project Phoenix flasbacks.
The one I found was obviously just an armoured valk, but it's so much better than the skinny 3rd ed. plastic one that I'd previously been using.

I don't know, I rather like it, personally. Let's face it, there is almost no way to make LRM-15s in the forearms to be pretty. It's still a long shot better than the Project Phoenix model, and looks so much less like the Armored Valkyrie of Robotech that only a property manager would think they are the same.
Still, I only got it because I wanted the other three. It's hard to say no to an Atlas, Marauder II and an Orion. It's not a problem with the model, I just am not a fan of its weapon placement.
