I am really looking forward to getting my Marauders

I dont know why as Im a Clan crutch merchant at heart. I dont follow the lore (but I do read the BT books) and I dont do TT, but something about this Mech has sparked an anticipation unlike any of the previous mechs/ packs that Ive purchased.

I dont care if its a Tier 5 junk pile, I just want to get it, mod it and take it into battle.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Look no further than my autosig down there for my case favoring Marauders. ^_^ I'm still waiting for a Marauder II to debut (and I will pilot that forever), but I cut my teeth on BT in a classic Marauder and always had one in my lances in the tabletop way back when. I'm thrilled to have one.

I am looking forward to it, even if I have some reservations as to how versatile it will be. I am a little leery about it's XL compatibility, due to the super long side view. This in turn will really limit it's loadout and speed options if it is the case.

And since I personally find meta laser vomit boring, well, that limits things, too.

That said, while I am more interested in the Warhammer and Rifleman (not 100% in love with the Marauder redesign, aesthetically) I do look forward to Tuesday. Ever since the Clan Invasion, I have been looking for that one Heavy Chassis to fall in love with driving. I'm hoping one the the new Unseens will be the one.

Funnily, my favorite MAD chassis in TT, the Davion variant (well, the 3D, not the 5D) is the least interesting to me, overall out of the pack. BUt sometimes the ones least interesting on paper turn out to be great fun.

My first love will always be the K2.

But this might sneak up on her.

It could be T5 Chaff, but It'll be fun T5 Chaff.

I'm actually looking forward to the Warhammer more, well the WHM-6R, that I will turn into a WHM-6Rb... I love those things, as they are my go-to IS heavy.

The hit boxes will make or break it. The arms wound up being higher than I had initially thought they would be, and it won the scale lottery in the 75 ton class so I am hoping it will wind up being decent at least.
