![]() ![]() Luckily, the other left leg in the kit was ok. One of the left legs looked like it had slipped in the mold and was bad enough that I didn’t really consider it as an option. My Black Knight miniature had some casting issues. ![]() A plastic base that is a close match to the bases on the standard plastic miniatures is also included. When combined with the ability to pose the miniature a bit while gluing it together, this gives a lot of freedom to decide how you want your Black Knight to look. For the Black Knight, there are two left leg options and multiple hand choices. The miniature requires assembly, but it comes with multiple choices for some pieces. The pieces do not come attached to any sort of sprue and are just loose in the bag. The pieces of the miniature were packaged in a small ziploc bag with a fairly simple cardboard label. While the price is high compared to the BattleTech plastics, it doesn’t feel out of line if I think of these premium miniatures similarly to special character miniatures in other lines.īecause the premium miniatures are exclusive to the Catalyst Game Labs online store, they do not have what I’d consider full retail packaging. That price has been explained as the increased cost of manufacturing in the United States. That is about the same cost as a box of 4-5 standard plastic miniatures. The Black Knight premium miniature was $24.99. It sounds like the Stormcrow will also have limited initial stock. They were simply unsure about demand for the more expensive premium miniatures. Catalyst has announced that they have ordered more stock and do not intend for the premium miniatures to be hard-to-get. When the Black Knight went up for sale on Catalyst’s web store, it sold out within a few hours. A company called Creative Juggernaut is manufacturing the premium miniatures for Catalyst Game Labs. These first two are linked to the Battle of Tukayyid book since they are both designs used in that battle. The Black Knight Clanbuster was the first one offered for sale, and a Stormcrow TC variant will be available this Friday. ![]() These premium miniatures are multi-part plastic kits for design variants that are not covered by the main pre-assembled plastic miniature line. But for the life of me I cant seem to scrounge up one more chunk of BL-6B-KNT.In June, I bought one of the Black Knight Clanbuster premium miniatures from Catalyst Game Labs. All this cool crap accross several careers mostly from flashpoints. Hell I even found a ++ER L laser that weighs just 4 tons. I found a +++arm unit, A ++gauss that's lighter, I found a small pulse laser, pretty crap but I didn't realize those even existed in the base game till I found one. ![]() I didn't even know those went that high until I found one. just how rare is this thing? In my grand quest to find that last partial I have even discovered my first com unit+++ in like 2000 hours, giving 4+morale rather than the more common ++ granting 3. I have had an easier time constructing the highlander and atlas 2 than this. My career ended like 800 ingame days ago and all I have been doing that entire time is flying from black market to market looking for the last part but it just refuses to show up. Has anyone actually manage to gather all 3 parts of one of these in a career game? I had a career where i got 2 parts of one from flashpoints. ![]()
