You've been asking for it, a lot, so I worked this one out :)
The Ostscout redesigned 5 years ago. Ostol was 10 months ago. Now the Ostroc is here to complete the oddball trio of egg mechs.

Because at this point I had the other redesigns, I leaned far more on referencing those two for details rather than sticking as close to the old art as possible. Going for a cohesive final set. You'll find stuff like the Ostol lasers reused, and Ostscout detail references on the upper legs. I also think the original art lower arms and fists looked a lot like the Archers, so I referenced the new Archer arms there.

What do you think of your new egg overlords?

That’s a really well thought out way of redoing the design.

Tyler Erickson

The Ost series are easily on my most loathed mechs list, along with the Urban mech. That being said this guy is a might prettier than the original. Well done.

Robert Moore

Anthony this is well worth the wait! 😉 Now who will get to do them first? IWMs or Catalyst?

Pledger K

I am a big fan. This looks great. I hope we get a mini of him and the Ostsol soon!

Alex F

Ost-Rock and roll. Great work there

Jakob Fredensborg

Great work! Maybe a pic with all three osts? Can you say anything on whether these will be made into minis?

Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)

Torso and head I like. Arms I like the details, but feel too large for an Ostroc's arms. Lower leg/calves are probably iffiest IMO, but it's still a really solid update. Original was a 2/10, I'd give the update 6/10?

ShimmeringSword

I can do a combo shot yeah. All will become minis one way or another. Of course the Ostscout is already done by IWM.

The Crockett's athletic little brother?

Much like the new Axman finally looks like the Hatchetman's bigger, meaner brother this looks like the Ostscout's bigger. meaner brother.

It’s still the oddball mech we all know and love! Great work!

Steven Cross

Vast improvement over the original, only change i'd make is to have the big hand guards around the wrist section but slim it down afterwards, but yeah this is hugely better.

Nyxus

I am very disappointed by this. Dissappointed that this is not in the kickstarter

Clint Williams

Nice, I could learn to like the Ostroc when it looks like this.

Sapphirus

The legendary Ost trio's (or quartet if you count the Ostwar) complete (in concept art form) Except for the 'War :D

I'm loving this Big Ostroc Energy.

Mike

Are the Ost mechs being released by IWM?

Mike

On a completely different note, was a large group shot of the Clan Heavy Star released? I'm not seeing one, but I may just suck at looking.

ShimmeringSword

Can't confirm yet what form they'll release in, considering they were needed for art purposes regardless of miniatures. But they will be given minis eventually.

Mike

I'm good with plastic, too. Maybe even better now that I'm getting older.

Overall good, but I'd prefer some separation between the Large and Medium Lasers, per the original Ral Partha mini with indications of some ball socket articulation. The single piece cockpit viewport was one of the Ostoc's distinguishing features from the Ostsol as well. The blade-antennae are more fitting on the Ostsol as well, the Ostroc didn't really have any antennae. Glad the Osts are being updated by you and your team.

If you're ever asked to do the OSR-3C, it'd be nice if the 3rd Large Laser could be mounted in the center torso...typo/messed up record sheets be damned.
