Correction, why would you spend $30.00 (US) under the new pricing scheme for
a battletech model you could get for 1/4 the price?
As to playing WYSIWYG, if the only purpose of that is to give GW more money,
why bother? I doubt there will be many official tournaments, as I doubt
that this game will be very popular. It is very similar to Battleforce by
FASA, a Battletech spin-off, and as far as I can tell, my brother and I are
the only people that are ever bought that. It has been abstracted so much
that it would appear that it is not entirely a stand alone game anymore. It
will only be really fun to those people who play 40k as well, since almost
all flavour has been removed from the game, and it seems to be only a way to
run really big 40k games. In addition, the game will no longer be as easy
to play as before since now the game is much more dependent on tables. From
what I've seen on the net, most Epic players aren't too interested, and
neither are most 40k players.

I was under the impression those darkish lumps on its shoulders were the
carapace weapons, as when you look at them closely, they look like two guns
on each shoulder pointed skywards. Pretty hideous in general though, make
those egg carton Warlords look like masterpieces.
