Palladium books just sighed a deal with harmony gold to produce miniatures in 1/285 the same as Battletech for an upcoming Robotech miniatures game. They will at least be getting my money for the Warhammer,Archer,Marauder,Longbow, and Oster mechs

I hope their minis are better made than their books. Those fall apart if someone farts loudly.

I'll still buy them though.

wow Palladium they still in business......I wonder what the game mechanics will be based on.

[Marduk Rimmon]

I saw some prototypes and they look amazing. Far better than the current BT minis wich I think are trash compared to when FASA put em out.

Yeah, I didn't think they'd make it after they got ripped of by one of their own Employees.

I remember the good times of running TMNT, Robotech and Rifts. Good times.

You do realize that Ironwind Miniatures (the current mini company) is just the new iteration of Ral Partha in 2001, and it was basically just a name change with most of the same folks doing everything, right? Ral Partha was bought by FASA in '98, and was one of the properties taken over by WizKids when FASA shut down, then became its own company again as Ironwind. The only part even possibly changed is whoever is making the plastic mechs in the starter boxes, all metal minis are done by Ironwind.

Employee and sculptors have changed. The current Atlas looks terrible compared to my 15+ year old one.

I'll give you the Atlas, making it taller by just extending the legs wasn't a very good idea. I loved the update to the Hellbringer/Summoner they did a couple years ago, though.

Want to see Ironwind do MWO sculpts. Shut up and take my money!
