A bit over 8 years ago I completed the piece on the right, the final step of a little Marauder redesign project I took on for myself to see how the design could be pushed forward from its unseen roots.
From there I hit the Warhammer, Rifleman, and Archer. Eventually those concepts would grab Catalysts attention... and the rest is recent history.

Now I've got the fun task of painting the same scene over again, which I've wanted to do for a few years now. Wolf's Dragoons instead of Grey Death Legion this time.

Which Marauder is your favorite?

Of all the Marauders (not II or IIc) out there... i call them: Battledroid, Unseen, Phoenix, MWO, ShimmeringSword and Redesign; id take the Redesign. I honestly never was a great fan of your ShimmeringSword version, although i really liked your archer and rifleman (rifleman also rules supreme). I always found the shimmeringsword marauders torso to be too chunky and long, which is a thing you can see better in your other works on that design.

I prefer the redesign, (using swen's nomenclature) but the 'shimrauder' is a close second, so far in front of the battledroid (Ducks hurled projectiles) & unseen PP miniatures.

Great side by side - I like them both, but see much artistic growth on the left.

The newest one on the left

at first glance the one on the right, at a second glance... the right one is missing the „turbine engines“ at the side back...

can I not attach pictures here?

Raymond White

MY favorite is slowly turning into the new Marauder II. It's just so... Beastly.

Tyler Erickson

Ah so it is a variation of the pic you have in your ShimmeringSword account on DA?

Definitely the Marauder on the left, the helix shaped PPC blasts look distinctive and less generic.

Having just completed my first company for my Wolf Dragoons Alpha regiment Clan Invasion era AS Battalion I am going to have to go with the left side picture. And I love the Marauder II in the back ground as well! I can't wait to see the whole picture!

Terence Harris

Definitely the left. It's got the shoulder turbines, the narrow viewport, and the big ball ankles that harken back to the original.

David Razi

I love the Succession-Wars-esque heraldry paint scheme. With the unseen 'Mechs it feels very retro. Dragoons on the moon...could this be the counter-invasion during the Jihad on Luna? Did I imagine that or did that happen? Or perhaps an ilclan thing...too much lore, getting confused.

BTW I like the idea you had for the Marauder better especially the cockpit and the way the autocannon is mounted. CGL should of used that one imo.

Alexander J De Santis

Left side for sure! I love how the mech has transformed over time and become more refined. You can see it top to bottom.

Robert Moore

I want to see the whole Damn Thing! :-D

Have to say the left side is my favorite. Will the PPCs be getting a more dramatic "lightning" effect? They look a little odd being the same as the lasers.

I'm sure the lines are just there to set the trajectory when the actual projectile is ready to be drawn. As while the Marauder is complete, the II behind it is still WIP, and so is the weapons fire.

Have to go with the right side. Love the red

I really dig the new piece and the little Marauder II in the background.
