![]() Nowadays it's concept sketch > 3D modeling > line art Nowadays, the design process is much smoother/fasterĭesign process was flipped at the time of AGoAC before it was line art > 3D modeling, The first three Mechs that made it to line art (Warhammer, Marauder and Locust) were the "hardest" a lot of discussions/nit-picking to get the design just right. Mech-scale is another beast altogether and Anthony sees this one as a potential candidate for STLs one day Plastic dropships - Anthony would love to do some mapscale ones (Union, Overlord, Leopard, Fortress). A good number of the IlClan Mechs are pretty much readyĪnthony available for commission work ? - currently not, but it's something that he would like to pick up againĭetail level on Mechs - can be tricky, sometimes they try and "push the envelope" to see how well the ideas translate to plastic (the Legendary Warhammer frex will have hexagonal missile ports for the MRM) Jade Phoenix ? - since Anthony has had to devote a lot of his time on the CGL/ KS side, he's had less time for IWM. In the long term, with the improvement of 3D printers and DRM, it would be a possibilityįar Country's Tetatae get a shoutout ("would be pretty funny" Heroforge for Mechs ? - tricky at this point, since once an STL is out there, the genie is out of the box. Full Aerospace ForcePacks would require "their own game" ( which I interpret as a rules update/rewrite)Ĭelestials - once again, Anthony states that nobody is opposed and he thinks there is a lot of potential in a facelift by his team (some inaudible off-screen chatter from/with Loren Coleman at this point) More ASF - they'll probably continue to trickle out. Will allow WYSIWYG building of the majority of Marauder variants Mod kits/extra variants ? - first baby step taken with the Marauders from both Legendary ForcePacks 4 different dorsal guns They don't necessarily give the same aesthetic to all Mechs of a given manufacturer/plantģD assets are sometimes (rarely) re-used the Banshee (3S) PPC is the same gun as with the Warhammer (because fluff-wise it fits) When designing a Mech, they look at its individual flair. There will be a Kurita pack for the Succession Wars/Clan Invasion and ( possibly ?) another for the IlClan era Poster-sized blueprints ? - they can do better blueprints now and Anthony would like to see more poster merchįaction packs (30.00 timestamp) - will be coming and will be a tandem release with a faction-specific book that will give more information on how to fluffily play the faction. Something with a sword ? - " I hope so" and " we"ll have to see if something pops up when we get to the faction packs" Least redesign required ? - Flea, Highlander IICĬanonized Ragnarok ? - Anthony wouldn't be opposedĬoolant Truck ? - depends on the success of the Objectives pack if the demand is there for map/table dressing or campaign objectives play, then possibly yes Most drastic redesigns so far ? - Sentinel, Mercury, Bane, Black Python Plastic infantry however has a low chance very hard to get sufficient detail on that scale More Clan BA ? - Randall actually wanted more BA in the Mercs KS, but they ran out of time. Is, since they sold out all of the stock at Adepticon), there will probably be more (decision to be made by TPTB) Museum-scale minis ? - Anthony confirms that "Destiny-scale" Mechs are 28mm. Sometimes a design will look very similar (King Crab) Therefore there is no directĬopying of Mech designs. MWO and CGL are separate companies, each with their own intellectual properties. In other cases, it'll be specific areas/details (such as the panel lines of the Victor's torso SRM). When designing a Mech, they strive to retain a certain amount of faithfulness. Plastic Ostwar would be " easy-peasy", since they've now got a good feel on the Ost family Of seeing it make the transition to the "other" material (see the Ostscout frex) ![]() The fact that a Mech was recently released in metal/plastic (respectively by IWM/CGL) does not reduce its chances ![]() ![]() Plastic Uziel ? The IWM model is pretty recent, maybe when they do a FedCom Civil War or Jihad-era packĪll Mechs are scaled (volumetric) to a half mm of each other (Anthony now has a 2GB Maya file with all designs) Slot into the IlClan timeline (which does not exclude the possibility of a niche product, see the Proliferation-era pack) Rabid Coyote or Canis ? Not very likely at this point better chance of seeing FedCom Civil War or Jihad-era Packs that FYI, the Mech design process AMA with Anthony Scroggins (1h02) is now on Youtube : ![]()
