The official Battletech twitter posted this up so I'll get it out here too in case you missed it.

Lots of reference options for this guy. The original art, various different looks, an old redesign of my own that Jon Paulson commissioned but never utilized, a discarded cover version by Alex Iglesias. Then my final spin.

Sunglasses still in style.

Lyran Commonwealth! Kicking your ass while wearing shades! Amazing Work!!!

Andrew Bethards

I love the sunglasses look, it screams cool

This looks nothing like an experimental aerotech fighter! I CAN'T STAND IT! ;D

Gotta have the shades, man. I like it a lot. By chance, are you simultaneously working on a 3E version or just the S?

This is the first time they've asked for a non base variant, and I think the clear reason is they don't want the loadout being so bad.

It looks good, but do we need a new Banshee before some of the others that haven’t received updated minis recently? IWM 3E is a beautiful sculpt. I’d like to see new Assassin, Crab, Lancelot, Guillotine or any other number of designs that truly need a facelift before the Banshee.

It's that problem where even if an IWM sculpt looks ok, it's not up to the par we're setting now, so absolutely everything is on the table.

Okay, I officially need a Company's worth of these for my 3rd Lyran Guards. Absolutely lovin' the shades!

Oh god. Yes! Yes! And thrice yes!

You know, I'm not a huge fan of the 'Lyran Scout Lance' ... but this is starting to bring me around... Amazing job.

I like it but I'm more of a fan of what Alex Iglesias did for MWO. My thinking always goes back to interesting/recognizable shapes and silhouettes ... and I think if you broke down this Banshee and Alex's Banshee into low-poly, "Mechwarrior 2" versions of themselves - Alex's shapes would be more interesting/recognizable.

Maybe true, though this mech is maybe the most rudimentary shaped assault in the game, so the bar is very low haha. Mine has cooler shades.

Steven Cross

Dear lord yes! this is a VAST improvement over the original art.

Steven Cross

The only thing I disagree with is the weapons placement, for a sense of just..looking better it should be the PPC's in the L/R torso, and the AC in the arm. But that's just me :)

Malintus

@Steven Cross, I fully agree with this 3S variant of the Banshee. Weapon placement follows the TRO beautifully and that to me is most important above all else (Rip side torso mounted AC/5 Marauder model, new one still looks leagues better than previous designs though.) Surprised me it did that they asked for a variant as opposed to the original loadout, but I guess it would be to make the Banshee look more attractive sue to the amount of guns on it. Very well done.

David

approved! I'm really curious to see what you do with the trebuchet's bucket head though...

Jakob Fredensborg

This rendition is very good. It finally deals with the MWO versions 80’s style pumped up shoulders, much like the reimagined Awesome. I would gladly buy this and I would field it too.

Raymond White

The Banshee with shades is the best Banshee

Just my two cbills on this but maybe a little more neck? Wasn’t the head supposed to be able to swivel?

Mark

I dig it.

That must be the (actually useful) Banshee-S? I like what you've done. There's nice integrity between this design, your new Classic design and Loose's original artwork.

Do you think that CGL would be willing to have IWM fulfill some of the late stage orders?I iknow that translating CAD file into a mold is non trivial, but given the unpredictability with China and trade, diversifying seems like a good idea.

Danny

So very very cool, I LOVE it!

This one is great! Is Hunchback in plans as well?

wiski

Gotta say, my main issue with the current Kickstarter is your designs, in that you can take even some of the old derpy looking designs and make them look good, so I'm afraid I'll end up pledging for all of the add-on packs, including the ones I currently don't really care for, just because I'm going to assume you'll make those mechs look awesome. :p

Carlos Sempere

Love it! In general, how do you guys decide how much to adopt from the MWO designs, or, conversely, what to do to keep from looking too MWO-like?

It's true, there is a sense of financial dread with every impending release of a 3D render.

William Janak

I have to say I think the grin is just great.
