Time for another weird mech, brought to you by Bishop.

Maybe he can say more about this one in the comments. I'll just say it's cursed :P

It wants to be an Imp when it grows up.

Jordan G Roberts

That turned out wonderful! Like a little baby king crab!

Mark D Booth

Awesome, need to see what you can do with 5he champion because this is such a huge improvement.

Andrew Smith

Great reimagined design. Never wanted one before, now of course I’m stuck wanting the mini.

Robert Schuster

It truly looks like the workhorse mech it's supposed to be... *finally*. Great job!

Kanrei13

Too bad the 'Mech itself is still garbage, 'cause this looks good.

James Doughty

Holy Crap. You polished that turd up nicely. Amazing work.

Alexander J De Santis

Even if it's bad on paper, I want to get every updated mini at and point for the collection. This guy reminds of a Batteries Not Included alien, and I dig it. Quirky little thing.

Cookie

Me like. It´s instantly recognizable as a Hoplite... and yet, it looks kinda cool. Not sure what kind of sorcery was required for that. ;-)

Swen Decker

Aaah one of the worst Mechs i absolutely would field. Together with a Jagermech, Shadowhawk 2D and a Goliath of course. And this time, its sexey.

John Spencer

Very good work. Definitely took a mech I didn't like the look of and updated it to something cool.

Robert Moore

I do have a fondness for the WD mechs, I run 3 of these in my Beta Red Guard Battalion and I use the B model. In Alpha Strike a pretty decent mech, takes a pounding and still keeps coming. Now bring out the one we are all waiting on, the IMP!

Your next mission is to LAM it

Looks great. Pity about the stats...

base and 3050 is bad. But that's been true of several of the mechs I've taken on (and even more of those I haven't). For me, part of the perverse pride I get is taking a mech you shouldn't want.. and making it look good enough that you want it in spite of the stats. Suffice it to say I have several more on the docket. And while this sculpt obviously is a 4A/C, several of the variants are actually pretty kick ass, in truth.

James Bixby

One of those mechs I always kind of liked. It’s association with Wolf’s Dragoons and later SLDF mechanized infantry divisions helped along

That actually makes the Hoplite look cool.

i just wish there'd been some stats consistency.. or it'd ended up on the receiving end of an RS update/cleanup. Half the variants have the weapons in the STs... and about half of the later ones, in the arms. So I had to kind of hybridize the location to work for both. Would have loved to have kicked the LRM launcher out just a little more, but such is life wit record sheets, lol.

Trevor R.N.

Its good work, there wasn't much to recommend the old model on looks.

you ain't lying, you ain't even exaggerating. Fortunately I think I managed to be a little less...extreme than I was on the Mercury (still my wildest to date, I think) but this guy probably needed Sentinel level surgery. Not going to claim it was as successful, because the Sentinel had...more going for it (like art largely matching the RS at least), but it was almost as fun a challenge.

Trevor R.N.

It looks like a 'Mech I'd like to pilot

Joshua Bressel

Ok, I love it!!!! This would be AMAZING, for my Clan Wolf Beta Galaxy Solahma unit, slightly converted to a HOP-4Bb! All I'd have to do is convert the LRM5 to a LRM15, and add an AMS!

Aaron Thurston

I really like what you have done so far. You have taken a mech I didn't think was redeemable and made it interesting and likeable. This was the first mech I painted using washes and dry brushing. It was a present and at the time I was reading about the Wolf's Dragoons. I hated the original art and sculpt, so I thought I would test painting techniques on it. It turned out amazing, despite me hating the model.
