The Catapult K2 is basic intro tech version and the K2K is the upgraded version of it with the ER PPCs and whatnot.
Great Video! I like the Catapult K2. Thom as always steals the show with his commentary. Looking forward to more videos.
He is a unique gift!
I took a skill 3 Regent (pewter version) to Southern Assault II last year and, when paired with my Annihilator, absolutely slapped. Great long range fire support.
GDL! OMG! WTF! Sweet review DFA. Thanks!
Gargoyle and Regent, these are both Po Ding favorites! Excellent review gentlemen, I always enjoy the banter. Thom gonna be Thom, I love it!
Thanks for another great video.
Absolutely love the quality of your battletech videos! Great job!
Thanks 😁 always a good time with Thom in the studio! Thanks for watching!!
I don't watch unboxing videos... But a DFAW unboxing? I'm here for it.
Great works, gents!
Ty for watching!
Eventually when they run out of these mercenary groups, CGL is going to have to find new inspiration for these force packs. I've already emailed them with my request for a force pack inspired by Thom. Just a straight forward lance with a Flashman, Penetrator, Bushwacker, and Quick Draw. I'm know many disapprove of the Quickdraw but, as I'm sure Thom says, you can't argue with results.
This is a pretty fantastic force pack idea.
With those 'Mech choices, please tell me that the unit's name is The Minutemen :D
😂
Very funny timing. I just got two of these today an hour ago. One of the Regents will definitely be painted as Justicar, Pope Leo XXI's personal mech.
I love a catapult and I love the Reagent. I love the stubby LBX on the shadowhawk. For me every mech in this pack is a W. This in my mind is an A+ pack.
I hope they push out more ilclan mechs and assets to entice players to play that era.
Good content only recommendation I have is when comparing the sculpts maybe have a side by side of the 360 view, or maybe have the other sculpt in a corner so the viewer can compare as we look at it. Honestly I'm probably gunna pick this pack up and just paint them as GDL, love that they are back as a merc unit to play. I really hope we get a rec guide for them in the ilclan era.
What he said about comparing to the original sculpt.
Great review guys!
My order is #1 Catapult #2 Gargoyle #3 Shadowhawk #4 Regent.
The K2 was a mini a lot of people were waiting for.
The Regent mini looks great but it's available so late in the timeline that it's uses are limited while the Shadowhawk
can be used to represent variants from earlier eras. The Gargoyle looks great and can be used for the Invasion era
and earlier Clan battles pre-invasion.
I'm getting this pack just because of the Catapult K2.
Love it!!! Agree on the uses! Good stuff.
Fun review. Thanks for doing it.
Thanks for watching!
Far and away my favorite variant of the Gargoyle. When in doubt, throw a Nova/Blackhawk arm on your omnimech 😂
I am still kind of amazed that they somehow managed to release the original GDL command lance pilots between three different force packs and the starter box.
You guys definitely need to paint that Regent up like Soundwave! I've kinda got mixed feelings about this set. The K2 Catapult is definitely one of my favorite versions, and that Gargoyle looks nasty, but I don't know how much I would use the others. I agree with Thom about painting up the jumping Shadow Hawk as a centerpiece model, but I'm not sureI would use it much on the tabletop.
Glad I could catch this video early on! Can't wait to see the next batrep, it's looking to be a great one.
Like the look of the new Catapult. Always nice to have a variant . And the shadow hawk took his medicine
Hahaha
The one box set I dream about owning over here in Europe 😮❤
You and me both, mate. You and me both.
Are the Mechs inside only available in this box?
@guava8158 yes
Looks great! just wish y'all would've put the new ones beside the old ones in the close up.
So watched your video today and just opened my Grey Death & McCarron's. Idea came to me, trim the jump jet plumes down to the flame and start of smoke & model feet on base to show just firing the jets.
I love it!
I LOVE that theyre keeping the weapons consistent to scale, but those PPC barrels on thr K2 do look a little small compared to the rest of the mech.
Great vid, guys!! I'm on a spending freeze, wish I could pick these up!
Look at it less as a spending freeze and more of a break from painting 😁 hope you get it soon!!
Already painted up my Catapult. Love the k2 variant. Also really like how its slimmer and different from the IWM catapult k2 i got a year or two ago.
I love a good cigar smoking 'Mech. Out there bossing my other lazy 'Mechs around.
With a little modification you could definitely add some AMS pods to the K2K to make it the Jester from MW5. One of my favorite mechanics in the game.
I just glued the jump plume to another hex base, made it easy to show jumping.
I might just be weird but I look at that Regent thinking whether it's worth the effort to scratchbuild a lower half and turn it into a Hauptmann.
I managed to pick up the Wolf's Dragoons Assault star this week, so I hope this pack eventually makes it's way down here. I love that your first association with reagents was wizardry and not chemistry.
Hahah I am who I am 😆
An "excusive" that's not an exclusive anymore. Bought my 2 GDL boxes a weeks ago from my local FLGS (I live in one of the Nordic countries). Seen it on sale on multiple online retailers and FLGS. It was supposed to be an excusive but guess this one got delayed (It was supposed to release last year at B&N) for some reason and the exclusive time ran out, I guess. Or someone has made a big oopsie and shipped out multiple large orders all over the world.
Anyways, great content as always! Keep up the good work!
Oh that is interesting… all the US gaming sites etc do not have them in stock yet! CGL had said roughly 6 months after B&N. In any case I am glad you were able to snag them!!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Not sure what's up, I got mine here and I even asked my local FLGS staff about it (as I also assumed it was a timed exclusive for B&N) and they said the exclusivity is over (and I know they order their BT stuff directly from Catalyst).
What online retailers carry this force pack. I want to buy it, but I cannot find it in online stores.
I'm not generally keen on Shadow Hawks, but I am painting up a jumping ELH heavy lance (Guillotine, Crusader, Shadow Hawk and of course the Thunderbolt) so it will have a purpose. I am not much of an ilClan guy (though perhaps it'll grow on me) but the Regent looks badass!
I bought a printed Catapult K2 like literally a week before this box came out but the official model looks great. For me, the winner is the Gargoyle. I tend to be a Clan player and that version is a BEAST. I would not want to face that in Classic (or a modded HBS build).
Love that gargoyle!! Very cool idea to do a whole jumping lance - love it!!
Great video as always. You didn't cover this, but what do you think of a force pack that has both "clan" and "inner sphere" mechs instead of all "clan" or "inner sphere"?
It’s definitely “ilClan-ish”… I think it is overall great for collecting as you can mix it well into your existing forces. Maybe confusing for new players who dont fully grasp the eras though.
The jump jet plumes are a cool display option, but I agree, I'm not a fan of them for tabletop. To each their own though
What did you say a Regent was? Am I missing a joke? 😂
Haha a regent is a position at a university, among other things.
I love my box so worth it
seems weird to me that it doesnt have a Marauder
It is sort of a weird selection… though the Marauder is in a ton of other packs!
They're really going for the ill clan GDL. Kind of surprised they left the shadow hawk in instead of the hatchetman
It's the revived GDL from the IlClan era. 3140s or so. They're really pushing their own new lore now and this box reflects that. Grayson's Marauder is in the Legendary Mechwarriors box anyways which has been available for years (and is currently out of stock, of course.)
They probably figured they don't have to stick it in since they have Grayson's Marauder in the Legendary Mechwarriors pack already
I bought it only for the cigar Mech not gonna lie
Guys, as cool as these mechs are, without training you’re gonna get smoked so get out there and get some training!
Shadow Hawk is the only one I don't really want. The fact that it's a jumping version is worse as I rebase onto clear bases and it's not worth it to move the pegs so you either go always jumping or never jumping.
Yah the jumping ones don’t blow me away.
