When the folks who brought you the Wraith try some other ideas, but have a new mechanical design lead on the board

A similar but related Kind of Guy, Missile Racks with Legs. Catapult is probably my fave in that genre, just being a classic. Z the IVth posted:

Do these mechs have tons and tons of guns? I need to be able to go ”pew-pew” a lot.

I ended up rolled because while I brought a ton of gun I did not bring much go and I just got styled on The second game I took things with jump jets and less gun and ended up winning because he couldn't out maneuver my wasp

Is it like the video game where I can just stripping off armor to keep adding guns?

We're playing inner sphere succession war era mechs Are you putting together a single Lance that you want to function as your entire force, or multiple Lances to work together either in a game or your own story? What balance mechanisms are you using (BV? Tonnage?), and what are the limits you have to work with? Strobe fucked around with this message at 18:05 on May 14, 2023 |

You change the arms and it's just obvious that you're re-using parts from the Koshi.

I hated those arms when I first clapped eyes on them in TRO 3050 but man, I gotta say they've grown on me. I wish more Mechs had weird Cronenberg limbs. Viva chickenwalkers and double-jointed monstrosities.

We've been playing 4500 BV. Im pretty sure proxies are fine but I'm trying to stick with what I own just to keep down on the overwhelming amount of mechs And gameplay is just smashing lances against each other at this point

If Battletech was made in the 2000s the Firemoth would definitely have been named Necromorph instead.Owlbear Camus posted:That canopy glass gemming is just sexual. I've heard of Sky-Earth NMM but it was only in Battletech miniatures that I learned of Sky-Hell NMM...

They're good in the tabletop too. The Fire Moth is one of the only 'Mechs (possibly the only 'mech, I didn't check the list) with the "overhead arms" quirk that lets it shoot over adjacent height-2 terrain (which is normally a LOS block) at a +2 penalty.

Wolves On The Border is probably the best book that has a decent amount of setting info and mystery to it.

The Ilkhan Alaric Ward decided that only clans could wipe out other clans so technically the Smoke Jaguars were never gone. Also the 2nd Star League flag had a gold trim so under admiralty law...

I really fancy myself a Marauder II but the Direct Fire lance is currently OOS everywhere in the UK. Anyone have an idea on what Catalyst's restock schedule is like? Also has anyone got a Hardware studios dropship? What's the quality like?

It's an interesting thought that they're back in the Clan pecking order and can climb up again. Makes you wonder if they could be running old Republic equipment to participate. Maybe some previously-WoB designs that were cool enough to be brought back?

Alaric has also opened the door to allow the Nova Cats to become a Clan again, although he hasn't said anything officially, just that he wants to avenge their death at the hands of the Combine. Given that the Spirit Cats are currently split on protecting the IlClan vs. staying loyal to the League, there's a good shot that the Nova Cats will come back with no more abjuration, similar to how Alaric brought back the Smoke Jaguars. I think Alaric realizes the only way the IlClan is going to survive is if every single Clan backs it up, and he cuts down on the inter-Clan fighting so they can present a united front to the Inner Sphere.

Reversing the process of the Clans acculturating with their Inner Sphere holdings and turning it back into IS vs Clans would be, imo, a huge creative mistake. The Hells Horses should find some Inner Sphere cowboys to vibe with so they can have a weird cultural intermingling too. Clan Gay Cowboy will ride again.
