Greg Oliphant - the Banshee pilot with the jester hat on his mech is a deep dive, he was one of the notable pilots for the Eridani Light Horse back in the original Mercenary's Handbook. Similarly Salazar Tsakalatos is from a PDF Catalyst put out years ago to tie in with some IWM mini sets - in this case there was a PDF of a Republic Lance with custom variants, A Time of War stats for the pilots and a short campaign with two BattleTech scenarios and an AtoW adventure for the characters. Salazar was an optional main antagonist for the adventure/campaign and his PDF was just a writeup, RPG stats and a record sheet.
I'll force trumpet guns on everyone and you'll like it! But seriously though, it's an assault mech so it's got heavy armor sleeves on the lasers. The Thunderbolt does fit on the base, it's just a bit firm. Makes a super dynamic sprinting pose.
Great Unboxing! My Eridani Light Horse Hunter lance will get it tomorrow. Looking forward to the Kell Hounds lance box. Looking forward to more videos.
so uh.. How do i get this on the other side of the Atlantic? 110$ is the best i've seen so far.. Don't have high hopes but will keep an eye out I guess
I'm not going to boycott Catalyst or anything crazy like that , I own 253 of their mechs but it's frustrating as knowing that as an Aussie that unless I'm willing to pay basically the same price again in postage i can never get this box especially since I'm still waiting the AlphaStrike box i ordered from a local store last year lord knows when I'll get my Northwind Highlanders box

So many assult mechs everywhere! Man these mechs look good.
The Thunderbolt pose is hands down my favorite

Looking awesome! Just a roughly 2 years wait before the barnes&nobles exclusive stuff drops off and they ship over to europe for sale...
The latest round of exclusives are only 6 months this time instead of a year.
@@wolfehoffmann2697 ah, nice! Thanks for the heads-up!
@@ironelemental9367 or you could have a US person order some for you and ship them your way, would just be a little expensive shipping wise.
Just got mine today.
Looks awesome. Going to need to talk to some friends in the US about ninja-ing some boxes and sending down to New Zealand :)
I pretty much have not loked any of the jumping mech poses, does not mater who made the miniture, but I do like this jumping thunderbolt.
great review as always sir
Re: the flared muzzles, Google Bofors 40mm cannon.
Waiting for my box. It appears to be stuck in the mail somewhere
Hopefully it arrives soon!
Does the ThunderBolt detach from the Jet plume...?
Yup

It'll be released to general retail in about 6 months, similar to the Wolf's Dragoons Star from last year.

If there is anything else you could use to go along with those boxes you could maximize shipping =/ but short of that you're limited.
Your not a fan of the big ass sticker...... I'm not a fan of the big ass miniatures
