Check out the Camospecs guys on Youtube, they have some good recommendations. People have been getting good results with Citadel's Contrast paints. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw72skaSLl7jjgsbZVaZ6jw

Of course my package arrives on the day I ask about it. And I get two Dire Wolves.

Working on my Ice Hellions has reminded me how much painting white is a pain. Don't follow my stupid path.

In as much as anything in BT can straight up be a joke faction, CIH and CFM are joke factions.

Two questions: The deck of "mercenaries of the inner sphere II" don't have any game rules, right? They look just like backstory. The pilot cards with stats, are those for alpha strike, standard Battletech, or both?

Woo, my clan stuff showed up a whole one day after I got the shipment confirmation email. I kept it small, now I'm regretting I didn't get more. My salvage packs got me a Hellbringer, Dire Wolf, and the hero one was a MAD-3R. Of course the Urbie too. Now to just find people locally to play. Though I think I'd have an easier time wrangling my current nerd circle to do a Battletech rpg using the wargame's rules for combat.

The number in the red symbol is gunnery, the number in the green is piloting. For Alpha Strike, you just use the red number for "Pilot Skill"

My favourite white is Mr. Color Gundam MS White. It's meant for Gundams, GMs, and the like but IMO it's a very nice white. It's an offwhite that's like a very light grey so it's not as immediately clean and in your face as actual whites. I'm planning on painting some 49th Shadow Division Celestials with that, MS Purple, and Tamiya NATO Black. I painted up a Gundam GM Model with MS White and MS Purple and I like the combination, and I assume the alcohol-based Tamiya acrylics should be okay since they shouldn't really interact with the lacquer-based Mr. Colors in a bad way.

Honestly I've never had great luck with badger's white primer, I've even moved away from using it for zenithal priming. My go to is just white paint of whatever brand you like (I use Scale 75 and Pro Acryl) mixed with white ink. I'm trying to decide what to do with the kickstarter mechs, is there a supplement with a good overview of all the clans and their history, or should I just go through the relevant Historical/Era Reports and put the info together myself?

As far as the military units involved and running down what their deal is, you want FM: Crusaders and FM: Wardens.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:I'm trying to decide what to do with the kickstarter mechs, is there a supplement with a good overview of all the clans and their history Here's a quick rundown from me, Jordan Weisman, the creator of Battletech. Wolf: Lame and they always win. There's also Wolf-In-Exile if you really want to crank up the Mary Sue-ness Falcons: Lame and they love tradition, then turn full genocidal maniac in later fluff Nova Cats: Only kinda lame, they go on spirit quests and then turn traitor to the rest of the clans then eventually get destroyed Ghost Bears: End up combining with some of the Inner Sphere and love family, much like Dom Toretto Smoke Jaguars: Lame and they get wiped out then they come back. They love killing. Diamond Sharks: They like selling things. Lame. Fire Mandrill: They keep fighting amongst themselves then get wiped out. Lame. Coyote: More spirit quest bullshit Snow Raven: They fly stuff, and also suck Wolverine: Dead Widowmaker: Dead and absorbed and their original Khan looked like an absolute moron Burrock: Absorbed and also they're named after a giant centipede Mongoose: Ride lovely BMX bikes. Also absorbed. Ice Hellion: Gotta go fast and they get mad. Cool. Blood Spirit: Nobody else liked them then they got wiped out. Also built the Blood Kite, one of the shittiest looking mechs of all time. Star Adder/Steel Viper/Galaxy Asp/Cloud Cobra: These guys are all the same then Steel Viper gets killed. Lame. Hell's Horses: It's literally just a horse with fangs. They use infantry and drive tanks. Played by people who don't "get" the point of Battletech. Goliath Scorpions: They do drugs and then gently caress off to build their own realm in the middle of nowhere. Thank you for your time.

Nova Cats are only mostly dead! Them, the Sea Foxes and the FWL together was the greatest gift Battletech could have given me. All my lovable idiot children in one basket.

Is it easier to dig deeper into the fluff through novels or through rulebooks (whichever books fluff are kept in, field manuals?)?

Honestly, the only good Clanner is a dead Clanner. The only sensible faction choice is to just have all these mechs captured by the superior Inner Sphere. House Liao colors obviously.

I GM a campaign with the Clan Smoke Jaguars as the invading force of some backwater mining/R&D planet and yes, I can confirm, Clan Smoke Jaguar is one of the very good Clanners.

The will they/won't they of Wolverines being back or not being back is the second most tired and worn-out thing in BattleTech right after the Urbie and I can't wait for both of those things to finally be dead for good.
