Does anyone know if you can upgrade the Ironclad from the MkII Cygnar Battle Box into Gallant? Or does he use pieces that only come in the multi-jack kit?

I used a mk3 battle box ironclad and it worked.
Pretty sure mk2 was the same as the multi jack, just missing the extra arms. Either way, you should be able to find a way to attach a sword, shield, and book to it,

Warning: Gallant was amazing pre themes, especially with magnus2. However since then he is in no themes, so almost unplayable. I dont think he is quite worth breaking theme for, since only a little better than a nomad, so only run him with Constance Blaize (which most people won’t)
If you are running Constance or out of theme he is good, but neither option is recommended

I believe the only extra piece he requires is the empty right hand from the Cyclone. Of course you can always modify the Ironclad hammer hand to fit by cutting off the hammer; a bit of drilling and greenstuff might be required to clean it up, or you can get creative and have him holding something else in that hand, like some rope or chains or a part ripped off from an enemy warjack if you prefer. Or I guess you can take the left hand, cut off the thumb, and resculpt it on the other side, if you want to keep the hammer hand intact.

I found it one of the most forgiving upgrade kits. I ended up using a Menoth jack as a base, just because I love the irony, and it was still very easy.

So Gallant was born a Menite, grew dissatisfied with his restrictive religion and how it failed to provide the answers he sought, and eventually converted to Morrowanism, despite the protests of his family and friends? It's an inspiring story; I can't wait for PP to release the novel!

The sequel will be about his steamy forbidden love affair with Phoenix. They're from two different worlds, but maybe next time Phoenix is reborn, it will be in a world of tolerance and open robolationsips.

Totally agree! I have a bunch of models that I own just because of how cool they are.

Good players can do that sometimes. I mean... I played her a lot in Cygnar and she did awesome. WAY different then mark 2 for sure, but still really good. I don't think she's as bad as people make her out to be, though I do find she's missing something if she's gonna be played in mercs :/ might just be me though!

Good players can do that sometimes. Made top 4 international masters and all he claimed was "decent enough if you practice" (paraphrased) and your answer is no? I'm not saying she's good, but with such a basic "endorsement" as that and given that great players are able to get notable successes with her, I would say that he's right.
Some tweaks to make her better would be nice, definitely, but "No, she's bad and needs fixing." seems pretty unsupportable.
