Sorry for the very slow month everyone. It's been a busy one (and last month also), including my birthday last week. So I've been a bit low energy and distracted. I've realized (at least for now) that I can't handle stacking up conventions, it drains me. So likely sticking to just Gencon next year.

But, here's the Grizzly mech! Was nice to see this one drop in for this kickstarter after being pulled from the last one. I definitely felt like some of the tertiary mechs that made it in last time were less deserving than this one. Another one that comes to mind that people want back is the Berserker.

Looking at the old Grizzly my first thought was to push the cargo crane like cockpit, so you can see that here. From there, plenty of the old shapes are easily updated. Making the legs and lower arms more interesting were the only mildly tricky bits, but overall this one was a breeze.

What say the Bears?

This just made my morning? I’ll take 5 I think. Yup at least 5 lol. My son needs to add them to his GB and his 4 Kodiaks

Belated birthday Anthony! Love your work.

To my view, something looks wonky about the cockpit. Maybe the part with the panes needs to be shifted up even with the shoulders.

This makes me seven shades of happy to see

I've been waiting for an eternity for this Grizzly to happen! :D Phantom and Naga when? :P

This puts us at 11 clan mechs for the upcoming KS. 4 more to make a star. Predictions for the remaining 4 clan mechs is the Thresher, Great Wyrm, Commando IIC, Guillotine IIC, Clint IIC.

I was wondering, Anthony posted drawings of the Highlander IIC a while ago (2 May), but so far I haven't spotted it among the prototypes shared online.

No Galahad (Glass Spider) brings us back to 10 and frees up a slot in the partially shown Direct Fire Star.

That’s a great set of boxes alright, with the Grizzles being the cherry on top. Now… is the Thresher the new Whitworth?

HBD Ant! And yeah, while I doubt it's on the way any time soon, the Hell's Horse in me wants to throw a +1 at all the Naga want. The Huitziolasdfghjkl, er, Huey as well once we get around to Clan vehicles.

That's interesting because a prototype was shown at GenCon along with the other KS minis. Does that means its appearing in a pack outside the KS?

I think the Grizzly kind of always looked good, in its original art and in its original mini, so I wasn't jonesing for an update/new version as much as I was for other things. *That said*, this does look excellent—basically a "fine-tuning" of the original design.

I think it's one of those designs that for many you could see in your head the potential, this just makes it real.

I think the crane-operator cockpit is a nice idea. I think if it were me I would like to see a slightly bigger forward view port, but overall a nice update!

This was the first clan mech I ever painted - part of my ghost bears star. It holds a special place in my heart. I like what you have done it it, keeping the hip armor but more subdued, keeping the aesthetic of the torso, and improving on the shoulder while keeping the arms mostly the same.
