2001 Casting This Banshee was modified by the addition of a large rotary autocannon in place of the big goofy hand. You can make some nice stats for a mech with this arrangement. This one is painted in a blue scheme with the insignia of the merc unit Storm's Metal Thunder. STATUS: Completed and sold, 02/2003. |

"Skyblade" Old Casting This Banshee is the original casting, modified with new lasers on the right arm, and a special barrel for the left arm gun. It reflects the load-out of my custom Banshee. The paint job is for the 11th Lyran Regulars, the Hammers. I'm proud of how this one came out... what do you think about it? This mini appears in the Tech Manual rulebook on p. 151.
STATUS:
Part of Dave's collection, not for sale.

"2 Black and 2" Old Casting The original-casting Banshee mini comes with parts to configure it as either the 3050 version, or the 3025 version as shown here. This Banshee has a forest camo paint scheme and House Liao markings. It has fairly intricate detailing, and is an imposing miniature. STATUS: Sold, 11/2000. |

"Lyran Commander" Old Casting This is the original-casting Banshee, which comes with parts to make the version with the gun for a left arm or a hand there instead. The Banshee is one of the larger, older mechs fielded by the Lyran Commonwealth. The advent of recovered technology added a tremendous punch to this fearsome mech. At 95 tons, it is a popular command mech for units such as the Lyran guard, shown here. STATUS: Custom Job, delivered 08/1999. |
