Starslayer 3D Sculpt
Added 2021-11-23 07:04:39 +0000 UTC
Did 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?

Gun barrels should be longer. Otherwise good.

What 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 Iโm excited!

In 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

Never noticed it before, but I might be using one from now on. Speed matches the 55 ton brothers.

This definitely wouldnโt be on my immediate list to do either, but I like how it turned out!

You 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.

When this becomes a mini, Iโll run one!

Very Nice! So are the Hermes II and Whitworth been redesigned yet?

This 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!

Well done Sir! Keep cranking these minis out to this level. Will be waiting until this one becomes available also.

oh baby, you got my attention. the mech looks so much better than in times past.

I 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.

I thought the original was pretty good as it was, but this look works as well.

Can'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!

I didn't even know something that looks like the lovechild of a Hollander and Zeus existed...

The 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! : )

Cool 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. ;)

I do not like the chest/CT. Everything else is good.

I love this thing! I want to field a lance of them right now. :)
