They really should have gone with a configuration that doesn't exist in plastic like they did with the Black Knight premium.

I agree, and I pointed out that I think they should be doing either the parts to do the prime and the C, said D in video in error. The premiums have been either feast or famine in the amount of parts you get with the mini.
Always a huge disappointment when the reviews for these come in. Premium minis promised to be modular, high quality minis, but somehow the seem to be lower quality than normal forcepacks whilst also screwing up basic things like which arm is which, proportions, etc. You're doing a great service for the community!

Im hoping that these end up being in the hands of Ironwind, who has done an amazing job in doing the new sculpt minis, sometimes even coming out with stuff before it is in plastic.

@Unicorn_Company It feels strange that wasn't the plan from the beginning. And yes, IWM has nailed some sculpts. I got a Jade Phoenix coming soon, despite much preferring plastic minis in general.

I have both of the variants IWM put out, plan on doing a review on those soon enough. I have the metal Locust and metal Arrow IV Urbie to do first though
I was kind of considering this as my first ”premium” mini but I see I’m better off just getting a normal plastic one. These things are EXPENSIVE in Europe. Thanks for the review!

Im glad that the review was helpful. I think IWM is doing good things, but that they really need to stop doing these premiums with MFC, and go back to premiums being an IWM thing

Buy the Mad Cat TC. Really fun to build. And it paints well. Wolfhound IIC is dun to build as well.

The Eris & Hammerhead were nice as well, with the added bonus that you get a spare Hammerhead torso in the Eris pack, that lets you use the leftover Hammerhead limbs to create a second one if you kitbash a hip section for it 👍

I definitely agree on the Wolfhound, it was probably the best one so far
I think it looks good

It is passable, but far below the quality of the regular plastic vulture, and honestly not worth it, when you can get a better quality vulture with 4 other mechs for like 25 dollars at your flgs
I guess I’m the 11th view, and honestly I don’t know 💩 about this hobby but hell ya being a trans supporter with the color scheme! You’re a champ!!!

Thank you, not only am I a trans supporter, Im a trans person. :-) I plan on doing a series on how to play Alpha Strike, and if I can get a camera instead on just my phone, I plan on doing battle reports and painting videos.
Hi, new to your channel. I had a look few your videos and could not find one on painting the colour scheme you have on the vulture. Do you have such a video please?

I havent made a tutorial yet, but I would be happy to do so. Hopefully before the end of summer
So what's the deal with these "premium" miniatures? Do you asemble them? I like the new Battletech minis, but I liked being able to build my ironwind Timby more.

They are multi-part minis, but so far the quality has been more miss than hit.

@@GreenSpleenSubmarine honestly, the quality. I can buy a plastic one for like half the price and reposition it, or buy a force pack with one for a few dollars more.
so they give you a second pair of legs but not different armpods, oof! nonetheless it´s a mad dog, i´m a ghost bear, soooo... 🤷

Not even a second pair, one right leg and 2 left legs, and to get the pose in the video I had to cut and reposition one of them, as well as the one right leg.

That is a possibility that I somehow got one missing a leg, even more reason why the Premium Miniatures should be done by Ironwind Metals.
