not sure who is working on it, but it appears they might have recently nabbed up one of your own guys from the art forums to model...if so, quality is going up..fast.

Well, at least we now know why the Wolfhound ended up looking like crap. It was probably just a rush job so that the modelling team could focus on the Grognard Cash Cow - - er - - I mean Marauder.

Wolfhound was always destined to look terrible, because the all animal-themed 'Mechs look terrible.

Looks pretty good.
Though, i'm still not a fan of the cockpit. I don't like it in the concept either.
I much prefer the boxier, clunkier look of the Catalyst's design.

However, that's purely subjective. There's nothing objectively wrong with the model and i can't wait to see how it ends up in the end.

According to instagram, Arman Abounourinejad is the one working on it. (he's also behind the Crab's in-game model, if i recall correctly)

Confracto (the guy behind the awesome Crab and Flea fan-art thread models) is Mark Nicholson.

Nostalgia, feelz, yeah, I get it, but the dorsal AC/5 turret still bothers me to no end. In this case because it is not only obvious shells cannot be feed up through the turret mechanism, but the bore to turret size comparison means it would be tough to store 20 shells in the turret, let alone the quantities most autocannons actually fire in lore!

Back to the PGI Marauder, gonna be good for some quality 'Mech porn. Especially after Lordred and sp00ky get their mitts on them.

Well, based off his stuff in the Art section, hope he does the Warhammer.

Catalyst Marauder looks more like alex's style than alex's own MWO Marauder

yeah, also, do like the boxier feel..more 3025 tech, IMO. Arms pods need bigger, AC, kicked to the side more, but overall, I like it.

Arman needs a raise

[WrathOfDeadguy]

If I were a heavy driver I'd want to marry that thing. I kinda want it anyway even though I know it's a foregone conclusion I'll suck eggs in it, just like everything else over 55 tons.

All I want for Christmas is for this mech TO NOT HAVE SQUARE LASER PEGS LIKE THAT ABOMINATION THE WOLFHOUND

[MeiSooHaityu]

It looks excellent. I like it.

[SgtMagor]

I do like the look of the mech, but I really dislike over sized bubble cockpits Alex for some reason likes these huge bulbous cockpits on his concept art. the cockpit on this concept makes the mech look menacing!

[MeiSooHaityu]

I am curious how that high mount ballistic will turn out. It isn't in the concept art. Is it missing because they haven't gotten to it yet? Is it missing because the entire mount is dynamic? How will smaller ballistics (like the broom handle A/C5 & A/C2) look in such a large high mount?

I'm curious to see how they treat that.

[Yellonet]

Looks a good deal bulkier than the concept art.

[Automan]

Not as good as i would have liked, however this could be redeemed solely by nailing the gracious forward hunched down movement of this slender mech. It should move very diffrently from the kingcrab, more fluid.
