Annihilator Concept Sketch

The mini turned out great!

Looks fantastic. Gotta be sure to keep the height factor though. Annihilator was always a tall boy. Maybe not as easy without the neck

Christopher Eastwood

It's definitely a great starter in that game.

Anthony Scroggins

Hopefully this means new Vindicator too. As a Davion I hate the mech, as a HBS Battletech player I've grown to love the tough little monster.

Matthew Morris

There should be a Battletech trade and sell group on facebook. I don't recall its exact name/link though.

Anthony Scroggins

This may be not be the right thing to ask here, but does anybody here know about groups or people trading 2019 plastic battlemech miniatures?

Tyler Erickson

I look forward to people chopping the head off and making it taller haha.

Anthony Scroggins

Definitely plenty of recline involved on this one. Though neck sitting works too. Either way this mech would require an advanced cockpit with full view screens.

Anthony Scroggins

I think the neck needs to be longer, this mech always reminded me of 60s/70s Godzilla, please if you must, just be careful with my Imp. I used one tonight with my Alpha Regiment boys and shoot those Wobbies off the table( it also didn’t hurt that both my friends could not make a roll to save their life) 😉

Robert Moore

I'm surprised I'm saying this, but I actually prefer the MWO version to this one. I think it's just the weird tallness of the original that translated well into the MWO version that doesn't seem to be here. Not that this looks bad; it looks great, honestly. I particularly like that the torso feels more like a purposeful design and less like a weird potbelly. But I think it is a little too hunched for "Annihilator" for me.

Robert Schuster

Youre too attached to curves, dont touch the shootist! ;)

Swen Decker

I like it, at least as much as I can like a design this fundamentally strange. Does a person really fit in that head, though? Are they prone, or sitting in the neck?

Carlos Sempere

I think the MWO one has plenty of good looks too, particularly in the concept art. But it's all curves here baby :D

Anthony Scroggins

It'll get a liiiiittle taller.

Anthony Scroggins

That color high angle view someone did one of it? I think I've seen that :)

Anthony Scroggins

mmm looks so good, was not sold on the head, but then i looked at the MWO design and was like, "nah , I dig it"

I like it, BUT im honest the neck/head of Alex' Version works better for me. Checking the pic again im missing some aggressive touch in the AC barrels. Longer maybe?

Swen Decker

I really miss the taller neck, but understand it in the context of the design considerations you were going for. I would have been hoping for more of a Geth from Mass Effect, but it's one of those designs that any retouch is a good touch.

Raymond White

I saw a great concept pic for a Grizzly update on Sarna net. Is the Grizzly one of the mechs that will be updated?

Tyler Erickson

Gigan lives! Very nice work there.

Alex F

YES. More Dragoon mechs ! <3

Jordan G Roberts

Magnificent work there!

Sapphirus

I fought hard to nix it's old top oriented glass. Where is the pilot gonna look if they've got one of the tallest heads of all mechs?

Anthony Scroggins

Oh yeah! Can't wait to see the other reveals!

Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)

I love the idea of its mechwarrior looking down on people from that massively tall cockpit. Fantastic

Pledger K

🤘🤘🤘🤘 awesome

Taylor Shead

Hah.

Anthony Scroggins

I can't speak to when and where each design will show up as a miniature, but yeah considering they're going into the rec guides they'll likely get ilClan loadouts.

Anthony Scroggins

Yeah that'll be interesting to see.

Anthony Scroggins

I definitely made a bigger departure there, going for a muscle shell / dome type look.

Anthony Scroggins

I prefer it 100% to the MWO model and the cockpit and head is stellar!!!

Taylor Shead

When I saw the notification on my phone, *audible gasp*. I dig it! It's been my favorite mech since my intro into the BT universe with MW3 in 1999. This gives it a nice new touch. The only change I would make is to make the neck a bit taller. Looks badass, though!

Taylor Shead

Thank you for not going MWO with it. It looks solid. Very happy with the look you gave it.

Andrew McKenna

Looks great. This does have a version called gausezilla and with the movie coming out soon can we have a monkey named mech next . lol

Charles granger

So illustration for il Clan = non-Kickstarter Mechs included in il Clan = non-Kickstarter Mechs being sold as miniatures in the near future?

Been a fan of this ugly beast since the Mechwarrior 3 video game, the first one I played. You can’t go wrong with the simplicity of 4 auto cannons and some backup lasers. I really like this version of it.

MechaParade

That looks totally bad ass! It doesn't look pregnant look the original. I can't wait for the Rec Guide to see what it's ilClan era load-out looks like.

Kanrei13

That is SICK. Gives it less of a Ruby Weapon from FF7 look (tower neck) and more of an, "I'm just here to fuck up your day and deflect anything you throw at me," kinda vibe.

Alexander J De Santis

Like the body not sure about the head.

Mark D Booth

I think I like this one. Miss the art-deco piping/grillwork of the original, but overall; I like this way better than the MWO or Punakettu-version.
