youtu.be/4R8xS-PsS_w Today's the big day. 4 hours until this thing makes its way into public. Hope you all enjoy! #Battletech

The full piece from Marco Mazzoni for the thumbnail of the #PhoenixHawkIIC, a video going live in 1 hour's time! Hope you all enjoy. More art from the video is going to be getting dropped over the coming days too. :) #Battletech

Staaaahp😭

Reaching the (new) endgame of my MW5 Mercs GoG playthrough, hits 3049. Its interesting that all the earlier DLC barely left enough time to do the main campaign AND not miss the timed starts, but after Solaris Showdown I could finish all the HRQs north of Tukayyid with lots of time to spare.

BattleTech fans (or just fans of good fiction!) my latest is out! Star-Crossed Warriors is part-one of a four part series about the Dominion Civil War. I'm so excited to see this series finally kick off and am positive fans of Clan Ghost Bear will dig it! store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/bat...

Interesting bit of trivia from my BattleTech novella released today: Characters play a game called "Robyn's Crossing", a trick-taking game for 2-5 players for a standard 52 card deck. In the novella it's played with suits consisting of Bearpaws, Talons, Wolf's Teeth, and Foxtails -- named for Clans

Bad ‘Mechs – Kuma www.sarna.net/news/bad-mec... #battletech

The next Bad 'Mech is the Kuma! A little-known fast cavalry heavy designed with political expediency in mind moreso than actual combat efficacy. The result was... somewhat disappointing. #BadMechs #BattleTech #Sarna www.sarna.net/news/bad-mec...

big boxes of Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries and Clans

-This particular artwork was done by Eldonious Rex, and is intended to be an omage to the original IIC artwork seen in TRO 3055. I hope all the #SteelViper fans are going to enjoy this, as this video also doubles as a Clan Steel Viper video too.

Let's share some artwork to celebrate me recording the 25,000 words of the #PhoenixHawkIIC script. And also to celebrate the beginnins of the agony that will be the audio editing I'm going to need to do over the coming week lol #Battletech

Today in overly specific #BattleTech memes... Trenton Marik

and sadly no - as of MechWarrior 5: Clans Version 1.16.134 Epic Game Store client Achievement sync is still broken. Back to GoG Mercenaries achievement grinding instead, which ironically the PC XBox app thinks is Clans for Most Recent Played :)

Hello #battletech Bluesky! Just started production on season 1 of Periphery Wargaming, where I (coffeelock) will be showcasing an emergent map campaign using Alpha Strike. The house rules for the map campaign are available for free download on my Patreon! www.patreon.com/cw/Periphery...

Team Catalyst would like to make a statement concerning AI in their games. Follow the link to find out more. bit.ly/CGL-on-AI #tabletop #AI #BattleTech #Shadowrun #Leviathans

MechWarrior 5 Clans patch about to drop. I am most excited by artbook update and ability to look up more detail on Breaker Star pilots. That and hoping EGS client achievements not unlocking will be sorted so I can resume grinding that to completion.

Okay first lot of @creatorcardshq.bsky.social packs finally rocked up, I can tell its the first as it had the Next Level Supporter and Superior Supporter cards. And first of these six I opened had the person who I backed to support @magicmoshii.bsky.social which was nice.

MechWarrior 5: Mercs "Search for Truth" now unlocked on GOG, vanilla career playthrough, in game date Nov 3042. So I have 7 years to finish High Reward Quests that will be in Clan space to keep on lore. Skipped so many HRQs though, the DLC campaigns are so tightly packed time wise now :(

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Loren Coleman was recently on with Sean with Sarna.net for an interview! Get all of the details about #BattleTech you may have been looking for over at the best fan wiki on the internet! bit.ly/CGL-Sarna-Coleman#BattleTech #interview #Sarna #future

Our first interview of the year is with the big cheese himself, Loren Coleman, President and CEO of Catalyst Game Labs. I sat down to talk to Loren about how 2025 went despite the suck of tariffs and what BattleTech fans can expect in 2026! #BattleTech #Catalyst #CGL youtu.be/ONRHll1MP4Y

Time to say goodbye to Mr. Greenburg. This was the framing device I came up for the different scenes. Kudos @darkcrowind.bsky.social and the BPL crew for making the vision come to life. Watch Tex talks the Black Knight here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=38cH... #battletech #mechwarrior #mech

No similarly between Battletch and other IP. Nope.

Sarna is such a rich resource for Battletech lore. It's chiefly why I do art for some of their articles. To show my support. Going out on a limb, but I think that is why I feel BT lore is superior to 40k in lots of ways. Battletech's future is more relatable to our modern day. Easier to imagine.

I'm an advocate for just letting things die. We need room for new things in the world. Each generation should have the right to cater to it's own interests; and not have the old world's ideas shoved down their throats. But, yeah, this did hit the ole nostalgia nerve www.youtube.com/watch?v=et8y...

I have a new BattleTech short story out today. "Remains to be Seen" is set in the Magistracy of Canopus and sees the 4th Ceti Hussars (formerly the Lexington Combat Group) dealing with loss and identity... and a bank robbery. Best of all, it's FREE store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/bat...

Go to Sunshine Coast to see relatives for first time in ages, 2 hour trip is a disincentive, and show boys all the classic sights. Wife proudly points out Big Pineapple as we drive past. Our youngest exclaiming "Oh SpongeBob's house!" broke her utterly. I have failed as a father and a Queenslander.

It's time to warm yourself by the fusion fire of your 'Mech with some BattleTech news! We got new products, fan projects, and a scientific advancement that'll melt your frozen coolant tubes. #BattleTech #MechWarrior www.sarna.net/news/battlet...

Guess my local Zing drew the short straw, final day was today, one less stop on my autistic eldest's roaming rotation. Oh well.

Got my second of two lots of six @creatorcardshq.bsky.social packs before the first rocked up. Interesting selection, five dupes out of 24 cards and one person I already know [email protected]

So 26th this year was a aircon on at 5am melting kind of public holiday (which I worked on call on) so time to finish it right with cheesy vegemite lamb sausages. Much Aussie, Very Cringe.

There are children growing up right now who will never know what a Barbeque Shape is supposed to taste like. Thank you, capitalism.

new rig, RAM too expensive

So. Here's some lousy BattleTech news. (I will not tempt fate by predicting how it'll land in the hobby's "worst news of the year" list.)

I've got the second one up on itch now! This one is about the infamous Black Marauder from #BattleTech! avernus-labs.itch.io/dmi-intellig...

Another wonderful South East Queensland summer day, stupidly hot and humid with gray clouds from 5am with intense murderdeathkill thunderstorms and hail in the evening that last for five minutes and do nothing to relieve humidity to make the night complete.
