It looks like there might be more plastic minis on the way from Catalyst:



Looking like a Longbow, Marauder, Warhammer, Archer, and what I think is a Phoenix Hawk or possibly a Valkyrie (but the Valkyrie doesn't have a right hand).

Where do I get that mat they are on?

I kind of wish there was a way to mod mekhq/megamek with PTN's universe changes as I like them a lot.

The worst part of reading his thread is when you aren't playing you get serious envy of other people's scenarios, but then eventually your own one is hell awesome. :D

After some trouble i got my pledge thing sorted at Star Colonel, but I wouldn't mind a battlemap pack. Has anyone seen the maps/know any good ones to get as the 5 pack?

if playing with megamek make sure to turn off double enemy vehicles otherwise enjoy roleplaying the Mackie test in the Hegemony in the 2400's

I can't paint but my housemate enters competitions so I let him paint each one differently and he can practice/do what he likes with each.

it works for a merc company, I imagine each mechwarrior paints their's differently.

I bought nearly every model you can buy in the clan invasion kickstarter.

It is really hard to get this stuff in aus. my primary source before it was I bought like 1000 bucks off some guy in nsw.

Started a merc game in megamek with a full company in 3067 last night. 2 contracts in and it's going well!

Is there any indication if they are going to advance the timeline and do the skip with "ilkhan" or something? or is shattered fortress and back to the clan invasion the future for the next five years?

Is there any good record sheet builder and/or record sheet app out there?

I copied PTN's from his LP in a google doc.

I don't think there is a record sheet app because at some point they sold you the record sheets, either in a pdf or actual paper.

I don't mind DHS's as the game is faster.

I don't think any one thing "ruined" Battletech, though I would say CGL overall gave it a real good shot!

If your mech isn't 20% heatsinks can it really be heat efficient? :thunk:

What uh...are clans?

PTN got you covered mate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NrxjnEWIuk

tl;dr when the star league collapses its military left for the frontier. There they spent 200 years getting very angry, and after getting to peak anger, they invaded the inner sphere from 3049-3052 when they got blown up by Space AT&T (Comstar)

Tex does a good run down on how it went and why the Clans lost, despite being the best trained warriors, and a 200 year head start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QffouI6OA00

What the heck is Crowdox and does that mean I can still get in if I missed it earlier?

its their pledge manager, and maybe! I think they allow 'late' backing. I was able to jumbo expand my backing.

Then again, I'm probably the only person on the entire internet whose favorite era is 3145, because it finally seems like the line developers are having fun with the setting again. :allears:

:same:

TBH i first enjoyed it because it seemed like with superheavies and drone mechs someone was trying to innovate the concept of a mech for the first time in 600 years...

The whole setting makes very little sense if you let it get away from "its an excuse for robots to fight"

Got my kickstarter stuff today. all in all about a grand worth of stuff. I quite like it!

It is going to look good on my cupboard before being inevitably sold in 3-4 years as I have no one else who plays anymore :(

We're still Clan. Kinda.. they're the ilClan. They won. We do what they say, it's in the rules

This sums up the clans though.

I'm glad my beloved Goliath Scorpions have hosed off to spain and are having siestas and learning salsa dancing as we speak.

In general I'm liking the 3152+ ilClan setting. Its feeling like the setting has direction again for the first time in forever.
