To me it looks like the final boss in the game - apparently a custom Hellbringer/Loki called 'Brimstone' https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Dante_Fierus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHRmYji3rWE&t=6174s

Mechwarrior 4 was: Inner Sphere Lasers = Red Clan Lasers = Green (maybe the Clan Small Lasers were red as well, I don't remember) X-Pulse Lasers = Blue Bombast Laser (Charge Up Beam that not sure is canon?) = Purple/Red Then you had different size and sound for each beam.

 Found a Neuschwanstein 3d puzzle at Salvation Army for $3. Worth it. This turned out great - fun with my whole family playing with an invading Clan force targeting three objectives of the Royal Palace (Spaceport, Power Generator, Royal Family in the courtyard) against a defending Inner Sphere force. The Clanners pulled it off at the expense of most of their force - only the Thor and Daishi were left standing, with the Thor landing killing blows on all three objectives while being chased! a real MVP. Still, a pyrrhic victory.. Clans: Daishi Thor Vulture (Destroyed) Cougar (Destroyed) Nova (Destroyed) Elementals (Blasted apart by the Awesome) IS: Awesome Catapult Centurion (Destroyed) Thanatos (Destroyed) Uziel Archer

Strobe posted:Well good news on that front, charging in one of the really fast Wolf mechs is universally a bad loving idea (the Amarok does not count as fast here). Both the Stormwolf and the Thresher II have Reflective armor and take double damage in return, the Kontio has melee weapons it would rather be using and charging is anti-synergy with TSM, and the Wulfen has Stealth armor and doesn't like melee so getting close is burning one of your only advantages for basically no gain. The Dominator at 5/8[10]/5 sort of counts but if you're in line of sight and not shooting the guns you paid that much BV for then you're doing your opponent a favor. I love the Charger C enough that I made a custom model for it:  The Charger SH - the "Switch Hitter" Variant is a knockoff of a Charger C intended for spec. ops customers. Buyers in Capellan Confederation, Draconis Combine, and FedSuns. This one is a DEST Charger-SH Some new stuff:  I kitbashed some Hunchbacks to have a more VOTOMS vibe - they've got bits from a Dom mobile suit, the Mechwarrior 4 Hunchback, MWO Hunchback, and the Votoms Scopedog. No name for this variant yet, maybe Sabre or Ka-bar.  Dropped 'em into Solaris Steiner Stadium  Cauldronborn and Kodiak provide a Mechwarrior 2 Ghost Bear opening cinematic moment.

raverrn posted:Late, but please do this to the Falconer. This sculpt I found on Thingiverse sadly falls short of the vision. On left is literal swap and the arm and leg locations are so close it only makes it weirder on the right is me taking liberties with Falconer anatomy, and you get a lost member of the Archer/Vulture/Avatar family????

Len posted:How do the speed paints work over black primer? I did spray mine black but it sounds like they work best over something with a white coat I use GW Contrast Militarum Green, Blood Angels Red, and Aggaros Dunes, and have found that drybrushing white over the black really helps a lot! With aggaros Dunes the difference is really stark, since you'll get muddy brown with black vs desert camo tan with white. For getting paints I was watching the Camospecs tutorials and specifically nabbed the paints used. The Vallejo WWII Allies color set is awesome if you want more camo stuff, and it comes with Vallejo Pale Sand, which somehow you can drybrush onto everything and it just adds detail.

RE: Neo-space feudalism, I was listening to Yanis Varouvakis's latest book talk and his case that Amazon's business model is a new form of "technofeudalism" focused on rent-seeking over profit in a way that he argues abandons capitalism altogether for a desire to control entire markets. Maybe not what we expected space feudalism to look like, but I think that would be a more interesting angle to focus Battletech: less focus on profit but possessions of corporate aristocracy etc. Another thing I've been pondering: paint. How do so many people get thousands of tons of paint to cover their giant robots in cute color schemes? Subscriber model access to the Vallejo Paints Memory Core? Even then are there paint factories on every planet? Without it you're conceivably stuck with what people most commonly painted barns with: linseed oil, lime, skim milk, rust, and if you're rich, blood. So white mechs or red mechs are the cheapest to paint unless you wanna spring for fancy pigments. Maybe bare corrosion-proof space-metal too. I like the idea of a unit mixing new paint from the soil of local planet for a vernacular paint job every time they jump planets.

Sidesaddle Cavalry posted:I hope nobody here's actually advocating for corporate feudalism IRL. It has funny haha moments in satire and fantasy and whatever, but it's also caused very real degradation in cultures with limited access to ameliorating influences (positive social outlets not compromised by said corpos). Thread chat is getting weird Yeah I think its completely absurd concept. don't want to derail so here's a youtube video by the guy pointing out our global economy is ominously heading that way. Thanks for recommendation!! looks good. Revvik posted:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mechhitting/id911680048 Farmers used pigs blood! Gives a barn that deep red color. I guess if you're Capellan you make do. If it's Lyran is it blue? As for Battletech itself, I've been playing a lot of games of Hexed Alpha Strike with a simulated opponent using Brym's Opfor (fan simulated opponent like Battletech Aces). Pretty fun to just test out mechs and compositions. Here's a skirmish over some refinery/SC2 building complex between a security force and some raiders who have Clanners in tow(bondsmen? exiles? who knows?)

I've been playing Alpha Strike with Brym's Opfor, which is similar to Aces but not official. I use an 8d instead of the printed cards mode and its great for fast Alpha Strike games.

Strobe posted:55 tonners are way too durable for a teaching game. The game abruptly ending to a weird combo of dice rolls ripping a light mechs leg off on turn 3 is a feature. lol yeah - my first CBT game with a buddy was Shadow Hawk vs Wolverine, and it took like 3 hours as we stumbled through the rules until we burned out and mercifully an ammo bin on the Shadow Hawk exploded. I went to Alpha Strike after that.

 Rakshasa posting - I was surprised to learn that a Rakshasa MDG-2A is a 5/8MV that shoots 6/6/0 in Alpha Strike for 47 pts (56 for a skill 3). No CASE to protect from ammo hits. A Nova T (has jump jets, CASE, OMNI, and less armor) might do better. BUT I can run a full lance of Mad Cats now (Rakshasa, Mad Cat, Mad Cat, Mad Cat MK II) Ivan Prisypkin fucked around with this message at 01:37 on May 6, 2024 |
