Simple question! Be honest and say, what your heart is saying, when you saw them the very first time with your own eyes. Blagg PGI: Classic Tabletop: [img width=700 height=97]http://i41.tinypic.com/11s01hx.png[/img]
Thanks! With the tabletops added, I think the ryoken, summoner, and kit fox got an upgrade. Everything else is about the same.
The crux of the issue is once we get the ACTUAL mech in game, it won't be 1/2 as good as the art concept. I imagine the result is: pgi art > classic > render in game

I mostly played the Phract because I thought it, well, looked cool. Call me crazy. I can't pilot something I don't find aesthetically pleasing. In that sense, I find literally every one of the clan mechs in the initial packages to be aesthetically pleasing beyond every IS mech besides [potentially] the Phract. No seriously, across the board they just look better. I think they are at least 8/10s, except for: * Summoner looks a lil thin in the torso. To me a brawlers more effective that way, so it makes sense, but it loses some aesthetical 'oomph'. * I don't like the length of the gun arms on the Kit Fox, should be more snub to make the mech more compact. * Warhawk should look more like the Adder and Daishi, but maybe they chose to go a lil diff on it because they wanted to try and make them all distinct or w/e. I give the art and design and aesthetics on the clan mechs a 9/10, which is basically as good as you could realistically hope for in any game I think. For sure they knocked it out of the park, absolute home run for the artists.
Meh... they made the TimberWolf look like an over fed Mickie Mouse, and left out the MadDog.... It would have been nice to see some IIC action too. I will wait to see the actual models before I buy any Clan Tech.
I don't care as much about the Timber Wolf as others do, but it does indeed look... fat. Soy described it pretty accurately. But as there's a Stormcrow coming to us I probably don't need any other clan mech at all anyway. Maybe I'll get a Dire Wolf / Daishi as well because... well, it's a Dire Wolf. But probably that'll be it.
I always prefered the Humanoid mechs... (Griffin, Thunderbolt, Victor, Highlander, Atlas) over the bird or weird ones (blackjack, jager) so the new Timber Wolf looks better than the old one... but still isn't the most amazing thing ever... as long as I can rip the clan tech out and stick it in my IS mechs I'm gonna be extra happy.....
I think the Timberwolf lacks the aesthetic athleticism that it is otherwise synonymous with. Otherwise they're all quite nice to look at with the Kit Fox/Uller being my favorite.
