Firefly Concept Sketch
Added 2021-09-13 03:19:13 +0000 UTCHere's a weird one. The Firefly.
Bit of a colaborative design between me and Bishop. He did a starting sketch, but by the time I'd applied initial feedback I'd changed so much and almost finished it, so I took the assignment over haha. (don't worry I still paid the man some)
Is there anyone that asked for this mech? :D

Originally I wasn't impressed with the original artwork for this mech. However, after I saw the redesign on Historical: Operation Klondike I completely changed my mind. Ever since then I have been waiting on a miniature redesign that would do it justice.

2021-11-24 21:01:06 +0000 UTCI asked for talons , I’ll happily take 2 of these though.

2021-11-23 07:11:12 +0000 UTCI didn't ask for it, but I'm glad it's here...

2021-11-15 20:03:15 +0000 UTCGoofy little thing haha. Looks fun!

2021-09-24 15:30:57 +0000 UTCI'm betting if this one goes in a Rec Guide it'll get an iJJ build.

2021-09-22 22:24:36 +0000 UTCLooks like a great fit of a Wolf's Dragoons box!
2021-09-19 23:52:53 +0000 UTCsweet. the wings give me a wonder about the new improved jump jets having extra distance thanks to the wings... sorry, that's a longshot. but still. kewl. :)

2021-09-16 04:31:09 +0000 UTCYeah this one definitely suffered from art not matching the stats. Maybe soon I'll post Bishops roughs. If he wants.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-09-16 04:24:04 +0000 UTCLooks great! But now I'm curious what the interim redesigns looked like. Also, I looked up the existing metal mini and I can't match its weapons placement to the rules. I'm glad that's taken care of!

2021-09-15 16:50:37 +0000 UTCWe need another Wolf Mech preview please!
Robert Moore
2021-09-14 13:48:48 +0000 UTCI was thinking the same thing
Mitchell Berthelson
2021-09-14 04:25:30 +0000 UTC*Wow*. That's a truly gorgeous rendition of the Firefly.
Robert Schuster
2021-09-13 23:38:15 +0000 UTCI think I did at one point, it's one of my favorite mechs along with the ANH and BSW. MW3 was my intro to the BT universe. I also wrecked shop with a Firefly C in AS awhile back. I think it dropped 2 clan heavies and 1 clan assault.

2021-09-13 19:17:21 +0000 UTCSuch a tiny and beautiful Marauder II 🥰 Just kidding, it's really great!

2021-09-13 15:26:20 +0000 UTCCovet, so much covet. I LOVE the Firefly
Matthew Morris
2021-09-13 14:28:50 +0000 UTCNow if you show us the Shogun, Imp, Hornet, Flea, and Falcon you would have enough mechs to a make a Wolf Dragoons force pack if there was one coming out! Just saying! ;-)
Robert Moore
2021-09-13 13:56:56 +0000 UTCNeed more Hussar!
Ed M
2021-09-13 13:47:46 +0000 UTCInteresting, kind of reminds me of the fire falcon a bit, I look forward to seeing this in 3D form
Robert Moore
2021-09-13 05:31:21 +0000 UTCI think this is by far the best the Firefly has every looked! And with MW3 being the best game, I'm sure there's a few of us who wanted to see it--I know I'm one of them.
2021-09-13 05:09:16 +0000 UTCHonestly, lots of MW3 fans out there have been hoping for a redesign for a while. Looks fantastic.
2021-09-13 04:58:00 +0000 UTCI -would- have asked for it but thought it was a fruitless venture. Very welcome surprise! Definitely buyin' this in mini form!
2021-09-13 04:37:08 +0000 UTCAny Wolf's Dragoons design is a friend of mine. Rad.

2021-09-13 04:11:46 +0000 UTCThe tubes are mostly aimed forwards, rather than perpendicular to the mech surface.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-09-13 04:11:33 +0000 UTCShogun so ugly.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-09-13 04:09:48 +0000 UTCDidn't think too hard about linking them, but did make some references to it.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-09-13 04:09:20 +0000 UTCYeah on ones like that or the gunslinger Mongoose, my thinking is let those designs cover that look and we'll aim for something else.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-09-13 04:08:38 +0000 UTCHaha yeah.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-09-13 04:08:00 +0000 UTCME! ME! I asked for the firefly.A m ech i hace great sentimental attachment to. I love what you;ve done here Anthony.

2021-09-13 04:05:35 +0000 UTCI was already impressed with the operation Klondike art. The mech is a beast in built up terrain.
James Bixby
2021-09-13 04:02:30 +0000 UTCIs the LRM launcher angled back and down, or is it facing straight ahead and the front end is shaved off at that 45 degree angle?
KaiserDunk
2021-09-13 03:58:48 +0000 UTCThis is one of those things you don't know you want till you see it.
Chris L
2021-09-13 03:39:51 +0000 UTCExcellent work there! Shogun when?
Sapphirus
2021-09-13 03:38:28 +0000 UTCI drove one of these for a while when TRO 3050 was first released. Didn’t look this cool, but it was still a fun campaign and mech…30-ish years ago. 🤫

2021-09-13 03:34:56 +0000 UTCHonestly, it looks pretty cool. Nobody may have asked for it, but it turns out it is the Firefly we never knew we wanted!
2021-09-13 03:34:39 +0000 UTCI think it's a great take on the design, and more "Succession Wars" feeling than David White's (also excellent) version from Op. Klondike. Do you have a narrative in mind for the design evolution between the two?
Peter Shah
2021-09-13 03:27:19 +0000 UTCNice work there. Not as radical a makeover as Dave White's Klondike version, but a much needed update no less.
Alex F
2021-09-13 03:23:33 +0000 UTCFinally, with this mech, I can recreate the MW3 intro in mini form! "Fireflies 1 and 2, track the Thor!"
