Your best bet would be to proxy with the Madcat III from the Dark Age set. It may be a bit on the small side, and a bit pricier because it is actually a good unit. 40 British pounds seems like a big chunk of change for 14 Mechs, did you get them from a friend or a retail store, if you don't mind me asking. I've been thinking about this issue for a while and may have something up my sleeve. Stay tuned as always. Brian Well, we all can’t be Spaceman Spiffs after all.

I’ve been thinking about this issue for a while and may have something up my sleeve. Stay tuned as always.

I'm glad you enjoyed the post. With prices just getting cheaper it just makes sense to have a few around for an epic sized battle you would not otherwise be able to afford with metal miniatures. Don't get me wrong, I love supporting Iron Wind Metals when I can. For NJCon, we painted up all 32 miniatures from the Great Refusal Scenario! ~Brian Thanks for the comment.

I hadn't realized that MWDA was slowing down so much but I've always enjoyed using their minis in my Battletech games. Mostly I use them for Grinders also but occassionally we've used them in normal games. I happen to use 2" hexes for my terrain so the MWDA minis fit perfectly and (no offense to IWM) the vehicles are MUCH better from MWDA then the actual metal ones! Great post and I completely agree!
