@bobcockayne I guess I can understand the nostalgia of the old sculpts for those who have played the game since the beginning or near the beginning. Coming from someone who until recently had never really played the game though, the new models are light years better in almost every way. The scale has become more consistent, the sculpts better defined and more believable, and the look has remained familiar enough that classic mech designs are still mostly recognizable.  If all that was available were the iron wind  or ral Partha minis, I probably would never been tempted to even try the game. The great thing is all those models are still available if you want to use them and they are all perfectly still “legal” to use in the the game if you wish. While they are technically not “official” there are a ton of incredible STL files available mostly for free so that the aesthetics are mostly your choice and how you want your game to look.
