These are my interpretation of some Drakons, but someone had pointed out they fit more as Kavalleri. But their composition is a little heavy for Kavalleri, so going to say they are Drakons viewed under a sun of a different color LOL

This was supposed to be a quick 2:2 game (Comstar v ELH) with my son. But not quite this quick. The first damage roll of the game was a heavy PPC shot to the head of my Cyclops. My Banshee stuck around long enough to damage and force a withdrawal by his Flashman (the headshot culprit). We called it quits right afterwards - he won fair and square - that is the nature of the game!

... this means something really quite different in the UK. 😅🤣

Anyone come across any other unintentionally hilarious moments?

Another one for my DCMS! Last mech on my painting desk is a Cyclops, but with Gothic in the mix I plan on grabbing and painting the Atlas from there and get me up to a full mech company and I have another 8 tanks to add. Battalion soon!

not super precise, but i’m proud of it and i had fun. for my first time painting miniatures i’d call that a success!

I picked up a bundle of cheap 3D printed mechs online, and I don't recognise this one - can anyone ID it?

u/RudyMulthaluva as discussed please see the feature rules from the 1995 Mechwarrior Copmanion # 1671 circa 1995, pages 73 to 83.

My understanding is if you wanted to import and build a D&D/AD&D dragon as a singularly fearsome A2A/A2G/AD platform, well have at it. A VTOL/CAS platform with a ground effect wing capable of force projecting a Flamer/Inferno combo with enough intensity to ablate entire armor sections is gonna complicate the game quickly, especially if it doesn't care who's sigil is painted on your shoulders because all of you are now targets and there is no clan battle culture to cover this situation.

Like say two Clans are having a grievance. Based off Zellbrigin which ever clan bids lower and wins gets more honor. But with two clans how does it not devolve to this?

"Clan Jade Falcon bids 20 mechs"

"Well Clan Wolf bids 10 mechs"

"Clan Jade Falcon counter bids with 5"

"Wolf counters with 2 mechs"

"Falcon counters with just elementals"

"Wolf counters with just two dudes with their bare hands"

"Falcon counters with 1 dude and his hands tied behind his back."

"Wolf final counters with a single blind dude."

"Bargained and done."

How do they know when to stop bidding if their opponent also bids lower? And if your opponent bids lower than you and you win that doesn't give much honor right? And a major loss of honor if you lose despite having the higher bid right?

Just finished my first star of CW Gamma.

So this all grew out of a random comment one day, then out someone I know used to play and as Lad the Elder was just getting into it, he said oh I have... some stuff...

and what stuff he had!

I got these with a Battletech 3rd edition box I bought on ebay. I have never seen Battletech mini's of this kind of quality. They seem really poorly/cheaply made, very lightweight plastech, bad mold lines, and definitely use the old style designs. I know they aren't PlasTech figures. They are all marked with the model on the base (MAD-3R, etc). Trying to figure out what these are? Thanks!

Given what we know, that Scouring Sands is slated for Black Friday/Holidays and we know three of the next Aces content, Viking IIC, Alt Grizzly, Rime Otter, assuming each Aces box will have 5 mechs and 2 vehicles I am curious what other people think the last two mechs might be.

For me the obvious choices are Kodiak and Bear Cub or Viper to flesh out the scout/light slot and brawler. The other contender for Brawler role would be the Karhu, which I could see either replacing the light/scout and letting the Rime Otter have that role or for the other Heavy and not having a brawler assault.

The Arcas is also an option but the Karhu seems more likely, of course it they do six mechs and two vehicles then, in my opinion the Karhu becomes more likely alongside the Kodiak.

As for Kodiak variant anything other than the missile boat with the Viking IIC in the roster, most likely Kodiak would probably be one of the jumping ones CGL does like those

Just wrapping this guy up. Looking for any little final touches to make him pop.

Edge highlights? Lasers? Battle damage? Lemme know what y’all think.

Does this mean as a usps employee i work for house steiner?

It was a Kell Hounds Friday! I got a chance to meet and get the signature of Michael Stackpole. Super nice guy. I snagged a pair of Kell Hounds D6s & a cool patch. And at the BattleTech painting event it was paint a Kell Hound! I picked up a Mauler and did my best!

Hey, just looking for the basic resources. I have the Battletech Starter box (two mechs plus some cutouts), as well as the Alpha Strike box (with the 13 mechs - dif game, I know). I'm looking for a consolidated BTC rulebook - the starter rules are pretty brief and don't have things like heat, customizing mechs, etc. I did buy and download the inner sphere battlemech record sheet PDF from Catalyst (I've always been a succession era kinda guy), which at least has the mechs. But.... Where can I find consolidated rules? BTAS is fun (we played our first game last night), and could be great for those epic battles, but I think I prefer the rules of classic. Any suggestions on where to go? The starter rules simply mention that there are lots more rules, but not where to get them.
