Hey Dakka, I've been searching endlessly for a decent 28mm sized mark 2 Vulture from mech warrior. Is there any such thing?

**chromedog**

Not legally.

There was the Armorcast mk1 in 28mm scale but it never got a Mk2 treatment. (They also did a madcat and Atlas in 28mm).

The inevitable lawsuits that would result aren't worth it.
Battletech is one of those properties with issues.

**Nevelon**

28mm sized, or scale? So something the size of a knight/titan, or more of a marine size? If you are looking for 28mm size, then Ral Partha did a line of omnimechs back in the 80’s (early 90s?) You can see my Vulture hiding on the left.

**Midnightdeathblade**

Ugh that's unfortunate. I was looking for something I could use in 40k.

**frozenwastes**

Sounds like an excuse to get into scratch building

It's hard to find Battletech/Mechwarrior designs in a size appropriate to 28mm miniatures. Very few have been made in that scale.

**Midnightdeathblade**

Yeah, there's a nice papercraft mkII vulture that I could try, but I cant find a safe place to download it. I could reinforce it with plasic card. Does anyone have a good link to a download?

**RivenSkull**

It may not be a Vulture, but the Dust Tactics Lothar is close with the side rockets and can be used for 40k.

That is as close as you get. I have the Awesome, and my buddy has a Warhammer IIC. Cool for the price.

**RivenSkull**

There is also the OOP Armorcast Vulture if you can find one

**Zach**

My question is why you would want that over the far superior Mad Dog (vulture)?

**Midnightdeathblade**

I thought they were the same, and I just love the look of that specific vulture in the picture i posted.

No, the Mad Dog is one of the classic clan invasion mechs (Seen on the cover of MW2: Ghost Bears Legacy) and is almost as famous as the Timber Wolf.

The MKII was made just for MW4 and had no basis in lore.

There are plenty of N-scale garage kit companies that do the MkII Vulture, but they're basically 15mm scale, not 28mm.
Actually I have a MkII Vulture in 6mm scale (but not for sale)

**Dravis**

Looks like this guy had a limited run:

You could ask him if he planned to restock

Check your link. The powers that be have deemed the Vulture MkII a canon design.
