Starslayer 3D Sculpt
Added 2021-11-23 07:04:39 +0000 UTCDid you see this one coming? Not my first choice for a mech to be redesigned, but I'd drawn one waaay back for CGL and I can appreciate that it brings a unique kind of ugly to the game haha.
I assigned Harri Kallio to redesign this one, and Alan Blackwell to sculpt it, while I made touch ups to both along the way.
Who runs Starslayers in their forces?

2022-03-01 22:28:48 +0000 UTCGun barrels should be longer. Otherwise good.

2021-12-01 06:42:43 +0000 UTCWhat I failed to add was that when this comes out I will be recreating that diorama with all your new sculpts good sir, and with all the skill that 23years more experience brings lol I’m excited!

2021-11-30 02:45:25 +0000 UTCIn 1998 I entered my first painting/model competition. I was 11 and had been playing battletech with my Brothers for a few years at that point. I decided to go big and make a diorama. I used plaster to make a valley where a star slayer and wolfhound were starring down the barrels of a Timber Wolf and Mad Dog, with Elementals closing from the flanks. I ended up winning first place for my age category, and it was the first thing I ever won. It started a life long obsession, hobby, and love of battletech lol

2021-11-30 02:14:34 +0000 UTCLove it. I'll absolutely run 1 or 2 of them on my lances once its out.

2021-11-24 05:47:25 +0000 UTCNever noticed it before, but I might be using one from now on. Speed matches the 55 ton brothers.

2021-11-24 01:03:52 +0000 UTCThis definitely wouldn’t be on my immediate list to do either, but I like how it turned out!

2021-11-23 22:22:45 +0000 UTCYou may not have chosen this to redesign, but I have been waiting for this one since... forever. If this comes out as a miniature, you can bet I will be in line to buy it.

2021-11-23 20:04:38 +0000 UTCJust love this design! So good

2021-11-23 18:00:38 +0000 UTCGreat job . The hip leg area needed alot of attention .

2021-11-23 17:31:27 +0000 UTCI used this one quite a bit in my MechCommander days! Liking the redesign!
Jedi Spartan
2021-11-23 16:58:06 +0000 UTCWhen this becomes a mini, I’ll run one!
Joe Wright
2021-11-23 16:53:38 +0000 UTCVery Nice! So are the Hermes II and Whitworth been redesigned yet?
Robert Moore
2021-11-23 15:35:59 +0000 UTCThis is one that I didn't think really needed a full redesign / makeover, as the original was (to me) a solid silhouette. It just needed a bit of tightening and refinement. This appears to be just exactly that, and I appreciate how it leans heavily into that original while still bringing it up to the modern standards. Love it!
Richard Powell
2021-11-23 15:22:05 +0000 UTCWell done Sir! Keep cranking these minis out to this level. Will be waiting until this one becomes available also.
Scott
2021-11-23 14:43:15 +0000 UTCoh baby, you got my attention. the mech looks so much better than in times past.
James Bixby
2021-11-23 14:10:54 +0000 UTCI can't say I really ran it before - mainly because I wasn't aware of it - but looking at it now, I definitely will when we get a mini for it. I am willing to bet that there a lot of 'Mechs with old, wonky art whos aesthetic probably lead to them not seeing the tabletop, even if their stats were good. After getting the magic touch from the likes of Alan, Harri and the rest of your very talented team of artists we are seeing a lot of these 'Mechs getting play.

2021-11-23 13:22:46 +0000 UTCI thought the original was pretty good as it was, but this look works as well.

2021-11-23 12:03:49 +0000 UTCCan't wait to get this one. I made 1BN, 2nd Arkab for the '21 WWE and the two Starslayers were so hideous. Looking forward to painting up their replacements. Don't forget the lovable Hussar!

2021-11-23 11:52:52 +0000 UTCwow looks great

2021-11-23 11:29:17 +0000 UTCI didn't even know something that looks like the lovechild of a Hollander and Zeus existed...

2021-11-23 11:09:08 +0000 UTCThe main pic, with a beautiful blue sky (that given the grey overcast here in PENNSYLVANIA this time of year!) called to me in a decidedly glorious Big and Stompy WAY! : ) :bow:

2021-11-23 07:51:40 +0000 UTCA solid workhorse, done justice 😁
Andrew Dickinson
2021-11-23 07:41:02 +0000 UTCCool shit! Always liked the original, but this got improved further while staying true. What about a Hauptmann next time? That one really needs an overhaul. ;)
Henning Boessler
2021-11-23 07:25:55 +0000 UTCI do not like the chest/CT. Everything else is good.
Taylor Shead
2021-11-23 07:21:22 +0000 UTCI love this thing! I want to field a lance of them right now. :)
2021-11-23 07:07:40 +0000 UTCNo more funky hips. Not saying that's a bad thing, mind you
