I like the mouth being all toothy. Like the venom and carnage symbiotes. Bummer they won't just sell us the hero only for $10. With sales and credit use tax there is only $5 difference between the two packages.

I think Gray Noton's Rifleman was actually a stock RFL-3N, much like how Natasha Kerensky had a stock Warhammer WHM-6R. It's just PGI making these hero variants unique for purchase.

With that being said, Gray Noton was just that good at piloting a stock Rifleman, as I pointed out in the announcement thread.

from Sarna
It is rumored that he secretly piloted a Rifleman II RFL-3N-2 he found in the Periphery. He allegedly used this 'Mech to become the Class 5 Solaris Champion before retiring.[6] However, there have been no in-universe indications of him actually piloting such a 'Mech (beyond the existence of the rumor), and in his appearance in the novel En Garde the text implies a regular Rifleman. The rumors being spread of him piloting a super Rifleman is assumed to be a canon rumor.[citation needed]

So yeah, just like I been saying.

And here I was hoping for a Davis McCall based Rifleman.
Basically the Gray Death pattern, but with more plaid and Scottish swear words.

Sorry about starting the other Rifleman thread. Been gone almost a year, was excited about the Rifleman and forgot to search.

Anyway, I'll just leave this here:

Looks awesome! Why the hate?

[FitzSimmons]

Mech design looks good, but...

Reading the book now - Legend Killer is described multiple times as having a ghost in crosshairs as the paint job.

possibly the very last way i would have invisioned Legend Killer.... gross

[Alistair Winter]

Looks like a program from Tron had a baby with a Slaanesh-worshipping Chaos Space Marine.

[Chuanhao]

I luv it.

its so come and get me if u can,

like Fulgrim and his noise marines. All beauty and yet pure menace with a bit of chaos mutation at the snout.

[Bishop Steiner]

well, at least they "fixed" the armament.

And yet, the 4x dakka loadout seems more appropriate for Khorne...

A Slaanesh loadout would clearly be pulse lasers.

And flamers.

Especially since they tickle more than they actually do damage.

well, at least they changed the loadout stock, and moved two beamers to the arms. I might have fun with 2 LPL, 2 MPL and 4x MGs for the dakka of it!

[Malleus011]

It's not a big deal, but I do wish the paint was closer to canon. I never, ever pictured Norton driving a pink and blue 'mech.

[Otto Cannon]

I actually like the paintjob. It reminds me of a Warhammer 40K Genestealer.

As long as the pattern itself is well done we can all change the actual colours anyway, and it'll still look good. I might do mine in brighter pink and purple.

[Phashe]

Did it git bitten by something on it's nose? what the hell is is supposed to look like? Sometimes unseen is... ok...
