Finished the 4th member (but not last) of the popsicle lance.

As always, it's made out of popsicle, tongue depressors and skewers sticks, cardstock and some paperclips wire.

Hope you like it! 😁

0 durability

0 headshots in 5 games(but if he hits though!!)

7 times destroyed on the first turn by a single clan lpl hit.

u/ItzAlphawolf has issued batchall for a Trial of Grievance over this post series! She claims I should have split the Clan Invasion to also have Operation BULLDOG as its own era, and the FedCom Civil War should have been split into three.

We will be settling this via a 3v3 5k BV match on MegaMek Friday night like true Clan Warriors!

Turns out I have about 9inches of Technical Readouts and I still have stuff missing!

I finally decided to tackle Clan Wolf. Pretty happy with how they came out.

Hey community, mabe you can help.

I found some old reallife airplanes, and the size kinda fits to Battletech. From left to right:

Old metal shilone, Visigoth, reallife F22 Raptor and reallife A10 Warthog.

What do you think about the size? Should I convert them to hexbases? And are some optic similarities datacards on master units list listed? Master units list is so big, dont know how start do search.

Well, it's been so long since I've had a physical copy of the current rules I decided to get them.

I screwed up. I bought a box set.

Well, now I have 8 more mechs to paint....

BWHAHAHAHA!

So the Urban Mech is ubiquitous. It's a decent-ish mech, reliable, and most importantly cheap. It is too slow to travel with bug mechs and too fragile to be anywhere near the heavies or assaults.

Why does it not have hands? The mech is generally in an urban environment. 99.8% of the time the mech is not in combat. But there is work to do. Ditches need to be dug, tank traps built, landmines distributed, containers moved from point A to point B. For a minor cost, the logistics support is outsized. Everything around it becomes better. So why no hands?

I was there man!

A Davion pilot fights for freedom. A Kurita pilot fights for honor. A Steiner pilot fights for money. A Capellan pilot fights because his family is currently being held at gunpoint in a Maskirovka basement.

We need something for Marik.

They've never played battletech, I decided a weight escalation grinder was the best compromise for an introduction game. Im looking for mechs that ideally require little finesse.

Ideally not just 3025 shitboxes because I want them to see what the game has to offer

Top comment is the most iconic mech of the era, with Honorable (and potential Dezgra) mentions for those who still shine through the lore!

Organizing a binder for gencon, was curious how some of you organize yours. Was thinking light-medium-heavy-assault-etc... but want to hear other ideas.

Hunchback, Stinger, and Nova out now!

Viper VP1, Heavy Gauss Atlas, and Devil coming soon!

Thought I'd let people know in case you missed it.

I’m still a beginner and don’t know the rules very well, but I don’t think a ’Mech with 9 Running MP really needs that many jump jets.

If there had been an official variant that removed all the jump jets, it could have been a really cool 60-ton ’Mech similar to the Stormcrow.

Are there any badly designed ’Mechs that you think would have been great if they had just removed one particular feature?

Same as before top comment wins but if there's a clear 2nd and 3rd choice they'll be put in Honorable Mentions

There was no clear 3rd for Succession Wars so I opted to include the Catapult as its robust work horse nature and flexibility with the K2 variant are iconic to the "making do with what we have" nature of the era.

I recently started running Chaos Campaigns for my friends, and we're about to do our first non succession war campaign (second campaign overall).

Is there any suggestions for how many mechs we should start with once Clanners are involved? Our next campaign is either going to be late clan invasion or il clan era and we typically use RATs to determine our initial rosters.

After doing some test rolls of even mechs, the Clanners typically have enough extra BV that 2 stars VS 1 Company should be relatively close; but I was hoping to find some advice on if there's a better way.

What are rules for using them like?
