Here's one that was soft revealed at Kerensky Con as a prototype print. Time to show you all better shots of the Hermes II. Starting with the design sketch.

Design done by Harri Kallio, then a fair bit of meddling by me on the head and lower legs.
This is one I've always considered such an unappealing mech with a boring body and a goofy head. With this redesign I still wouldn't say it's winning beauty pageants, but it certainly looks a lot better, especially in the final sculpt.

Which of you weirdos will be running it?
Also, this design is free to share around immediately. Enjoy!

Looks great kinda reminds me of the old power rangers mech but still fits in with the new battletech art style

Yay! Hermes II! Hermes II! Hermes II!

Awesome! It looks much more credible! Have we seen a javelin redesign yet?

Randy Wohnig

Actually a beautiful design.

As an FWL fan, I'm obliged to like this. But great work no less! Okay Whitworth, all on you now

If you search Javelin from the top of the feed you'll see a sketch for it. 3D render will come later, lots in the queue.

Yay! And now there was only one (3025 redesign remaining).

Very nice! Anyone that plays Free Worlds League should be running them heavily as Recon/Hunter-Killer/ and even Trooper mechs, since this is one of their mainstays. Not to nitpick but you might add another layer of ankle "wings" as its a main identifier of the Mech, what you have is great, but slightly more of it's original flair won't hurt!

I love it. Always a 'mech with fluff that made it sound more interesting than the rules actually allowed it to be (at least until recently with the advent of quirks), and with art that made it look like some sort of clanking steampunk comic relief, now this looks like the effective special-purpose machine it was supposed to be.

Robert Moore

I will be running a few of these! :-D

Bobby Politte

This kickstarter can’t come fast enough!

Can anyone send me info for the Hermes II? Sarna does not list it. Thanks in advance.

We've seen major quality issues with such thin pieces like that on the minis, worst being the hatchetman's heel stabilizers. So while there is a portion here of me wanting to tone down a more silly design element, it was also to ensure the feet cast nicely.
