The aforementioned Jade Phoenix is most likely an IWM release as it seems like most of Dale Eadeh's current sculpts are for IWM. As for when we can see it or what's next... As for the plastics, CGL for the most part seems to have started at 3025 and is working their way along (with a few exceptions such as the Regent). I wouldn't expect a major push on IlKhan-era plastic 'Mechs for years.

I'd be happy with a plastic Fafnir and Cronus, to be honest.
And Imp. Urbie needs his big brother.

Ray told me in discord that the focus is the clan invasion era because "thats the most popular era" that said they've been taking some of the "greatest hits" from the recguides and making them in plastic so the jade pheonix wou;nd't suprise me.

The Jade Phoenix and other ilClan-era Mechs will likely be seen in metal from IWM before we see them in plastic, aside from the premium releases like the Hammerhead, Timber-Wolf TC, and so on.
Honestly, I have no problem with that concept, except for the fact the speed of the release (though, my wallet is perfectly happy with that speed).

Yep. Exactly what I was trying to say . Some of his curremt sculpts ( Sojourner, Dominator and the Hierofalcon) are from IWM and some ( Grinner and the upcoming Eris) are premiums.

Seems theres still one more unknown mech, as we have 6 open slots but only 5 mechs to fill them?

If I had to choose one it would probably be the Falconer as it is an iconic 'Mech and according to the MUL certain models are available to mercenaries. It would be very interesting to see how they change the legs (so that they actually work) and still keep the flavor of the original Falconer...

There are still a few 3025 and 2750 'Mechs to consider for inclusion.
Though a lot of 'Mechs from 3055 till Task Force Serpent's launch would be nice to have.

The Hornet, Falcon and Imp have been confirmed as not being in the Kickstarter. Doing a quick rundown of the 'Mechs that would leave from the original TRO 3050 the Hermes, Wolf Trap. Kintaro, Hatamoto-chi and Mauler and from the original TRO 2750 that leaves the Thorn, Hussar, Wyvern, Champion and Bombardier.

Death_from_above wrote:Some snippets from WolfNet Ep. 50 :
timestamp 25.10 - "Inner Sphere Standard Battle Armor will be in the KS" (no indication in which format/pack)
timestamp 41.40 - "All ForcePacks adhere to the force building rules, with one exception"..
timestamp 42.00 - .."the Objectives pack with a Mobile HQ, a Mobile Long Tom and a MASH" (IMHO, one of each)
timestamp 43.30 - "25% of the KS lineup are vees"
Probably overanalyzing, but since we've had 17 vehicle designs shown/mentioned/hinted at so far, that would
bring the total number of units in the KS to 68..
timestamp 52.10 - they sold approx. 17 000 ForcePacks in 6 months thru B&N (and made their website crash)
timestamp 1.07.00 - "pretty sure all of the units in the Mercenaries KS will get a RecGuide-style update"
timestamp 1.07.25 - "..small handful of miniatures in the RecGuides without minis, these will be in the KS"
Clarification follows that they mean the Classic redesigns, not the new designs, but I'm asking myself how
to interpret this with regards to the Grand Crusader and friends..
So start digging through those RecGuides tofind which Classic redesigns have yet been done in plastic...

There are some missing from your list, I think. Hermes II, Whitworth, and "Classic" two-fisted Banshee. The Shootist SHOULD be in that list, too, but it's in TRO 3058 while having an intro in 2621 (though, that applies to a lot of different mechs, and I'm not talking about the Dark Age resurrections like the Primitives).

I believed I had whaled out at just about $500, I recognised I should have pledged two Star Colonels rather than a Star Colonel and a Bloodnamed, especially with the $75 bonus for not generating a character. So there was a belated recognition of room for 'improvement'; but $1.5k, that is some dedication there.
I am interested to know what you got.

Even as tiny as they are (a medium laser, a fusion engine to help it reach speeds that would activate a flux capacitor while Cruising, and just enough armor to keep the random airborne insect from killing the pilot, all in 5 tons), only 2 friendly Savannah Masters are allowed in a hex at a time. As it is, they can split up and go in different directions, so putting more than one on the same stand would be... counter-productive. If there were rules for Support Vehicles that would allow them to act like Mechanized Infantry do, then 2-3 to a stand would make sense, but until then... Putting 2-3 Vehicles on a Stand would just be representing some form of Mechanized Infantry at present. They tend to not be very survivable in many cases.
