I think you'll get enjoyment out of MWLL's Daishi simply because it will look gorgeous, especially compared to MW4 :).

What is the point of giving the Gausszilla 1 free ton?

ooo nice detective work there on the other mechs. 

2 clan meds interesting.  I've never seen the Hellhound really, and based on the pics from google, there seems to be a very WIDE range of interpretation on what it's supposed to look like.

Black Lanner should be beautiful in the MWLL modelers hands and doubt it'll look like the squatty duck from Alf's pic ;)

YES AVATAR! it'll be interesting how it will contrast to the Thanny.

Yeah I've been pushing for the Black Lanner for a while as a more utilitarian Medium mech. The Conjurer should provide a well-armored Clan medium swiss-army-mech analogous to the Bushwacker.

The most common iteration of the mech seems to be this one though, which I prefer. It looks like a baby Blood Asp!

Yeah it looks nice, that way it also fits the description on sarna.net somehow "Puma Type Medium Endo Steel"
If I'm not mistaken that's how it looked in the mektek version of mw4 mercs?

We're talking about the Conjurer. It also looked like that in Mechcommander Omnitech. Really, it seems like the shitty Sarna humanoid roboman looking one is the odd man out. Google image search 'Hellhound mech' and you'll get nothing back but the better-looking ones.

Now, the Dire Wolf gives us a much-needed ultra-armored Clan ass-kicking assault, but the Clan is still behind the curve with assault mechs. The way I see it, we need at least one more 'superheavy' to really round them out enough to feel functional - something in the 80-85T range. The Mk2 seems to feel too much like a specialized 'tool' rather than a heavy-lifting war machine.

May I suggest:


- Whammer 2.0
- Deimos (zomg yes)


I mostly want the Deimos because it's Clan Snow Raven, it looks like sex, and it's new and has pretty interesting loadouts.

Deimos is one of Mektek's creations, so they'd probably need permission from them in order to put it in MWLL.

And as such we aren't even considering it.  The discussion on that one pretty much ends right there.  :)

I'd say

Dire Wolf
WarHawk
Blood asp

That seems like a perfect mix for Clan Assaults....would be my wish list

Errr... are you writing it off because you assume this, or because you know? Because it's a canon TRO 3085 mech, and I seriously doubt MekTek still owns the rights to the art. I doubt Catalyst has to give MekTek royalties for every copy of the 3085 TRO sold, and I also doubt they'd even CONSIDER making it a canon mech unless they owned it.

Furthermore, what makes CBT assets 'free to use', but MekTek designs aren't? The TRO Hellhound/Conjurer is an Inner Sphere-looking pile of poop, but the MekTek design is the over-the-shoulder cannons, which I'm going to assume is the design you're using. So that design is okay to use, even though it's not in any TRO?

This doesn't sound right.

Yeah but why the Warhawk? It's just an assault-grade Novacat. It doesn't do anything the Dire Wolf and the Nova Cat can't do.

I would answer because it is a warhawk, but then you will just go on one of your tangents about mechs that should not be included
