Great job on making this awkward looking mech look awesome.

I preordered this when Clan's were announced, as it is my favorite mech and thought that CW was coming soon (again!).

I dont regret the now long forgotten $55 or so but it's bittersweet. Nevertheless, despite goofy hands, I think it looks great and look forward to it.

Yea, I am still considering buying it ala carte on top of my Thor Package. I can skip the Dire Wolf and Adder because that will cost me an additional $90.

Looks great....but it's a clan mech.

Those wee little hands,love' em

The mess about TW's legs was not about PGI's "spin", but about disproportion which made most recognizable Mech look sick. They've demonstrated lack of attention to details there, where all fans expected perfection - as FD's artwork has no that flaw. You totally missed the point, so do not try to exaggerate now.

When they dropped the gold mech screenshots all of a sudden there was a thread about how you had to buy the gold mech to get the proper legs....so no it was completely blown out of proportion by the mass amount of whine that happens here, the non toothpick thin arms should have been a major issue as well.

Also the SC isn't some unknown mech that hardly anyone would know.

I did not miss any points, all it was was a bunch of crying over a "possible" issue.

These forums are the equivalent of pro & anti abortionist going at it.

SHEXY. Love it!

$30 and it is mine... then another $60 over the next month to finish up the pack! So excited!!
OMNIMECHS FOR THE WIN!!

It does appear that there is unique geometry in the arms from the prepurchased Clan pack and a normal Stormcrow.


I foresee much Brofist 'mech envy in the future.


Cheers.

It is a suprisingly good looking mech, kudos. Too bad it's way out of my price range.

Fired up HMP and quickly ran A through D

Noteworthy hardpoints:

A: 4 MPL (LA), 1 SRM6 (RT)
B: 6 ERML (RA), AC20 (LA)
D: 2 SRM2 (LT)

Possible hardpoints:

6 energy (RA)
4 energy (LA)
1 energy (HD)
2 missile (LT)
1 missile (RT)

so 11 energy with 3 missile or 7 energy with 4 missile or 7 energy 3 missile and 1 ballistic.

Stock Crow has 98% armor and goes 97 kph, with 23 tons pod space.


Sad Shadowhawk is sad...

You're forgetting the A variant has a LRM20 as well so there would be at least two missile hard points.

[Helmer]

Looks like a missed marketing opportunity

[Cimarb]

I like the mech, but you guys posting these screenshots REALLY need to learn how to do it correctly.

NEVER put multiple full high resolution images on a single page, especially if there is a high chance of people quoting (and therefore duplicating) all of them.

Instead, post a low res version that you can click on to open in a new window/tab with the full resolution image.

For Heavens sake, PLEASE stop posting these like this... My iPad can't take it, even on a wifi...

[Dymanite]

looking good, the arms could use some rework though:)

A variant: 1x LRM20 (RA)

So yes - you can get up to 5 missile hardpoints (LA, RA, RT, 2xLT), but it would cost a bunch of energy hardpoints, though you can get even more in the LT/RT, but honestly - more than 11 energy is not going to go well with the heat it puts out.

One thing...

TINY HANDS!



I actually do like this StormCrow/Ryoken, but if I get this pack, I may have to drive the standard variant with the grabber claw hands b/c the tiny hands freak me out a little.

[Kraven Kor]

I really like this one and it actually has some unique geometry compared to the catapult legs, stalker body that is the Timberwolf / Mad-Cat.

Still won't pilot no dirty clan mech

Read my friend. Read,

To handle the heavy heat load, the Stormcrow Prime has twelve double heat sinks on top of the ten mounted in the base chassis.^{[1][4][5]'

I stand corrected, sorry.

I foresee many IS-only people leaving post-haste when the only way to play is buy a clan mech. Hoping I'm wrong.

Don't you know. Clan mechs won't be over powered!

Am I the only one that thinks having the tall side torsos could screw it over if its trying to take cover?

you guys beat me to this, she was the first thing I thought of when I saw the tiny hands!

Great looking mech though! Appropriately very different from IS mechs as many have said.

I look forward to shooting at some of these this summer.
