Just need to add some minor details and varnish and my #battletech 18th Marik Militia lance will be complete! Debating what color to use for the cockpit canopies but will probably settle on golden yellow or similar. Lots of WIPs but wanted to bang this out while I wait for some materials.

Finished reading my first Battletech novel this morning. As a BT newbie, Battletech Legacy was a great way to introduce me to multiple eras all viewed by different pilots piloting the same Grasshopper ‘Mech. Some stories are better than others, but I felt the anthology was worth it in the end.

And the Ghost Bear Civil War novellas I wrote -- there are four of them that are interconnected to tell one giant story -- are finally going to start coming out. And the first one, Star Crossed Warriors, will hit in Q4 2025!

Also, we got release dates for two of my other projects I was able to talk about. Outfoxed, the first book starring the Fox Patrol (previously they'd only been in shorts or serial novels) comes out on OCTOBER 24, 2025! Which is in less than a month!

And after like a year, it was nice to finally get to say that Timothy Zahn and @sammaggs.bsky.social got to write BattleTech comics with us. and their stories are so good. And I can't wait for the graphic novel to be out. bleedingcool.com/comics/two-n...

At the BattleTech panel at FanX, there was a little bit of news that got dropped. @michaelastackpole.bsky.social and I talked a bit about the BattleTech graphic novels and that the script for the first installment is complete and we have two guest writers joining us for sections of it...

Tariffs etc. are hurting the economy from the bottom up. Small businesses and lower-income households are feeling it most, while big businesses and high-income households can either afford it or can find ways around the tariffs and other policies. Hence the lack of concern in stock indices.

The more I read Tom, the more I feel that there is a direct inverse between the amount of scorn he directs at those on the left vs the total lack of respect for the intelligence of those on the right. 1/2

De vuelta ya de España y debo reportar que ahí no se quedó la cosa. Mi hermano resultó tener aún más cosas que nunca me había mencionado, como La piel de Toro para Cthulhu o La reputación del Sr. Castiñeira. Imperdonable. Pero le gané al Battletech, lo que me ayudó un poquito a sobreponerme.

In Ep 25 we look at the knightly order of the Illician Lancers!! Join Kaz and I as we look at this most ancient of mercenary units! #BattleTech #MechWarrior 📺 Watch: youtu.be/JMalIEPgFh0 🎧 Listen: bit.ly/4nnBFT8

So not the big video I'm working on, but wanted to get something up while I continue editing. I had recorded this one a while back, but finally got it edited and published. I dig this boxed set because I love the Frankenmech! Please check it out. #Battletech youtu.be/qYVVcruhma8

Need to start painting mechs again. This is an absurd pile of shame. This is just the Inner Sphere mechs too. There's a whole other box of filthy, unpainted clanners. #Battletech

#battletech Grass Hopper Wip Base colours done. My take on the Northwind Highlanders can't do tarter so I just Simplified the scheme down into my own style. Next phase is too nuln oil him up lightly then touch up the red then bases then brush on matt varnish him up too completion.

#battletech Finally finished My Grasshopper and Centrurion Mech from Innersphere Think Command One in my Northwind Highlanders Scheme only thing left too do is a brush over of varnish and then My two Innersphere Lancer sets ready too go.
