#Battletech Hunchbacks, amirite? 😁

First free time in a while that I managed to get a campaign #Battletech mission in. Hermes II M did well enough! Even if I took an SRM that knocked my unconscious turn 3 😂.

"oops, all tanks!" #battletech

More #battletech events i've been running at our FLGS - this time was KartTech! All basic light mechs, points for kills and laps, but with crazy OP powerups for one-shot weapons and movement, etc. (and i swear that the timing with the recent Mario Kart release was a happy accident 😅 )

Ayyyyyy #battletech

only got to get pics with 80% of #themaine today. RIP. Just kidding literally best concert of theirs I've been to yet

Haven't been posting detailed campaign BatReps lately, as I've been more focused on organizing and running events for the LGS! Last month had our 2nd annual Urbie Derby. Last weekend was a Clan Invasion event with 4 corridors (tables) being defended by IS attendees! Later this month is KartTech 😂

Mistress of Flame Latest $50 speed sketch in my never ending quest to actually pay my bills. I think it was the entry for Jenny Umbra, in TRO 3025, I have always attached a feminine connotation to the Firestarter. So I leaned into a more svelte look. Flames are ass, tho Want a sketch? Ping me!

Played #Battletech encounters for the 2nd time today. The rules arent super intuitive to pick up at first on your own, but once you get the gist of it I enjoy it quite a bit! Not too long of a game either

First game of Lords of Waterdeep - while the rules are easy to grasp quickly, strategy is not. My tactics included "ooh gimmie coins" and "I want the quest that says 'Domesticate Owlbears' pls". 😁 Still came in 3rd, 10/10 would accumulate coins and owlbears again.

"Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)" *Not sure how removing Star Trek makes that hard for me....i've never seen a single episode 😂*

Other #Battletech game last week was what my FLGS community lovingly refer to as 'Clananigans' - aka an excuse to have a big multiplayer game and use Clan mechs, which a lot of ppl there don't play much of otherwise. 9 players, 3 teams of 3, and total chaotic dezgra on a huge map. I fell a lot 😅

Got in 2 #battletech games last week. Got to use some mechs for the first time: Scorpion, Ostroc, Devastator, and Charger 3K (which kicked off a Hatamotochi's head!) Quads are much more fun than they seemed on paper to me the first time i read about 'em - def recommend you give QuadMechs a shot!

#battletech Glory to Marik

a palette cleanser for your weary eyes

Bluesky's discovery algo can be strange sometimes. Today it just decided I should try to get into soccer. Literally 4 out of every 5 posts on my discovery feed. I don't think I follow or liked a single sports related-thing on this platform? 🤣 And why the hell would it pick SOCCER first??

#battletech campaign Battle Report 🧵! (this was a long one). Red Seal Merc Collective still on a Canopian planet fighting a rebel military insurgency. We are tasked to defend a civilian dropship as it loads up refugees for extraction. Waves of rebels coming at us from the city but they are damaged

#Battletech Campaign mission 🧵! Red Seal Merc Collective hired by a mining co to retrieve a data-pack from a previously attacked ComStar base, with info on a Germanium deposit on planet. Some ComStar survivors left around, and they hired Davion mercs to reinforce them.

Not what I would've asked for - but i've heard a phrase before: "don't give people what they ask for, give them what they didn't know they wanted." I think it looks dope - even if the new box doesn't offer anything radically new or exciting, the new minis are cool enough to justify it to me. I'm in!

Let's dig into that leaked BattleTech Gothic promotional video! Here's the full vid, and we'll be going through scene by scene. #BattleTech #BattleTechGothic

"What are your top 4 CGL redesigns?" Vulcan, Axman 2N mini, Mongoose. And the Nightstar official art is a bad angle, but the miniature is so cool looking once painted up - its top down perspective (which you mostly see while playing) is such a cool silhouette! #battletech

Also got to table my kitbashed Hauptmann in the last game - i don't ever play Dark Age or IlClan era, so figured turning the Regent into a similar looking Civil War mech would let me actually use it! (i'm not a great kitbasher obviously but i had fun with it 👍 made 0 attempt to invert the legs 😆)

#Battletech battle report 🧵! On the system of FEPCOTT IX (Fried-chicken Experimental Prototype Community of Tastiness) battle ensures for control of the LosTech chicken factory and its supporting elements, between FedCom and Kuritan forces. 7 objectives, slowly becoming active for capture each turn

MechWarrior: Clans is getting a Ghost Bear DLC 😻 mw5clans.com/dlc/ghost-be... AND IT'LL HAVE TOADIES INNIT! And Mod tools are coming soon 😻

#Battletech LGS living campaign🧵! Mission is to get 3 objectives from 3 trucks coming through a mountain road - 1 may have intel on a rebellious Canopian military leader. We set 2 minefields secretly on the road, and prep by predicting where the trucks may stop (based on known movement speed).

MotR25.8 "He shot me in my ass!" I was asked by Jerry Bishop to do Firemoth Prime alpha striking an Assault Mech in it's tush, so decided to lean into early 3050 FRR, and have it be a Rasalhague BNC-3E getting a high velocity proctology exam.

#battletech Living Campaign BatRep🧵! Our store-wide mercenary company is on the hunt for the last coffer of stolen taxes that we failed to secure in a previous mission (we had gotten 3/4.) The thieves are holed up in their Union dropship, but pirates attack it for themselves at the same time!

#battletech 10k Clan BatRep! star on star - my Clan Wolf Star: Dire Wolf, Conjurer, Summoner, Piranha, Mad Dog D vs. Clan "Royal Corgi": Stormcrow, Nova Cat, Phoenix Hawk IIC (3), Fire Moth H, Kingfisher E. Objective is to secure 5 total supply drops (6 possible zones), 1 activates each turn.

#battletech Living Campaign BatRep🧵! Our squad - Ostscout, Mongoose, Griffin 1S, Centurion AL, Thunderbolt 5SS, and my Firebee. Objective is to take a critical supply chain base to disrupt rebel Canopian military units, parallel to the MAF main assault. we are the 2nd wave, our 1st attackers failed

Firebee $50 speed sketch latest addition to the collection. Is it just me or does the Bee make the Stinger's cockpit look spacious? Being an Age of War era design, probably be the first and last time I can imagine doing one. Then again I have done several Mackies, so... slots still open, PM me

Did a trial of position at the LGS today (we have a fun #clans system where people can do Trials to claim Khan or other stuff at our LGS #battletech community). A cadet was able to get two kills and earn Star Commander for Clan Wolf of RSG! surprised me to see him get so close to a 3rd kill!!

#battletech #mechwarrior

#Battletech living campaign at the LGS continues! (a 🧵) Operation: Fortunate Sun - another mercenary outfit demands hazard pay from their employers who refuse, so they've taken a nobility treasury by force in the Draconis March. We need to get in and steal back the valuables before they extract

fittydollahollaHoppa! Another speed piece for Ed Salami T. more proof, I suppose that all creatives are whores at heart. First I stooped to doing Mech Swords for filthy lucre, now Grasshoppers. What's next? A Balius? Furry Art? (I kid. Everyone knows I don't do organic stuff for commissions!)

Planning (hoping) to read at least a book a month this year. (I mean novels, not just RPG and tabletop rulebooks 😅 ) Last year started OK but fizzled about halfway thru, after finally reading a solid amount of books the year before. Will they all be #battletech novels? Probably, probably.

If you see this post an Archer #battletech

Green #battletech art share! Posting up green battlemechs! (although maybe im helping propagate we just post our Davion Swordsworn schemes 😂)

We posting purple Battlemechs? Here we got some good ole' pirates with a penchant for purple and PPCs #battletech

#Battletech Campaign BatRep 🧵 ! Taking a garrison duty contract, we had one lance in the base, (Shadowhawk 2K, Mongoose, Valkyrie, and my Firebee) another lance on patrol (Phoenix Hawk, Jenner F, Javelin F) when we got an alert of two enemy lances approaching. Three buildings to protect. Two flanks

Giving me access to an espresso machine every morning was an oversight of responsibility. I should not be allowed to consume this much caffeine but I also refuse to accept any blame. Now back to my latte

Another #battletech Campaign mission with our LGS-wide campaign today. Red Seal Merc Collective tasked with destroying (or salvaging) a vintage Rifleman 2N from a periphery scrapyard/salvage base. Aurigan house units on patrol in the mountains, and a garrison lance plus turrets defending it.

Decals for the Kuritan Altenmarket Militia tonight (and a few Comstars in the back) #battletech

GM'd last night's #battletech campaign mission. The player mercsfinally got the Capellan Cyclops to take the field so they can salvage its Computer. but a Toro ammo explosion, Mongoose gyro hit, and they had to retreat. Good effort but mission failed for the mercs (and my dice were HOT early turns)

mfw people at the LGS want to try aerospace or vehicles, but theres so many big stompy robots variants and tech eras i still want to table first

My favorite Inner Sphere mech in each weight class. -Light: Raven -Medium: Wolverine -Heavy: Grasshopper -Assault: Hatamoto-Chi What are yours?

#Battletech bat rep: as before, Campaign at the LGS - rotating GMs, players earn CBills/XP, use 1 mech per game, earning skills, mechs etc. Red Seal Mercenary Collective on first contract to interrupt indepdent scrap/salvage operation in Aurgian periphery space. Two lances deployed.
