It's been about a year since Catalyst rolled out new artwork for many of the Unseen, but so far no actual minis have been produced. Does anyone have any news about if and when we'll get the new versions of the Warhammer, the Marauder, the Locust, etc.? |

There is always the new Robotech Tactics minis. Only problem is the Marauder would be too big |

The recently released Kurita Combat Manual has pictures of the new Marauder, Warhammer and Locust miniatures. So they are being worked on. My money would be on them waiting to release all of them together. I think it's even possible they will be done in plastic and released as a boxed set. It might be the long-speculated Alpha Strike boxed set. -Will |

You also need to remember that Catalyst and Iron Wind are two different companies who probably have different business objectives. You aren't dealing with a Games Workshop or Battlefront who make both the game and the miniatures that go with it. To my knowledge Catalyst ONLY does the plastic. |

Correct, IWM does metal and CG does the plastics through a separate effort. Apparently there are metal re-re-seens in the works though, but I haven't seen pictures. -Will |

I believe the shadow hawk and ostscout will be in the 4th quarter of Iron Wind releases.News is expected at gencon. Or so I have been told. |

No official word yet that I've seen. At least by not posting estimated release dates, folks don't get upset at delays in production. Many of the Robotech Tactics minis are a good size to match with BattleTech. Alas, the Glaug/Marauder is not one of them, and that's the one I would have bought several lances of!

Mutant – there are these, which I am told are based on the Mechwarrior Online versions: link Not actually the mechs from the Anime series from which the old designs came, but there's some very nice 'modernised' versions. I quite like their 'Matador' (Marauder). |

Hmm, that Matador is decent enough. |

Anyone know what Warhanza is like to order from? I've never dealt with them before or have heard anyting about other's transactions with them. |
