Floaty BirbTo go to tabletop space opera universes, in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Battletech</a> circling the galaxy would be very hard due to the slow recharge time of the KF drives.In the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TravellerRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TravellerRPG</a> it would also be very hard due to limited jump ranges and due to ships needing a yearly overhaul, so you'd really need a galaxy spanning network of bases. Communication is also limited to the speed of travel, so your galaxy-spanning civilization might diverge from itself before you finished your road to the galactic core.

Scott BoehmerI started work on this batch of minis. A Starslayer for my daughter, an Awesome for my merc scheme, and then a Grizzly, a Phoenix Hawk IIC, and a Bane for Clan Hell’s Horses. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BattleTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BattleTech</a>

VictorSo when <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Mechwarriors5Clans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mechwarriors5Clans</a> came out, I complained I didn't want a cinematic campaign, and also didn't find playing as the clans compelling. And maybe someone at <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/PiranhaGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PiranhaGames</a> was listening, cause they're making a new DLC for their previous sandbox style game, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Mechwarrior5Mercenaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mechwarrior5Mercenaries</a>, that lets you fight back against the clan invasions!<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3799610/MechWarrior_5_Mercenaries__Shadow_of_Kerensky/?curator_clanid=39999092" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://store.steampowered.com/app/3799610/MechWarrior_5_Mercenaries__Shadow_of_Kerensky/?curator_clanid=39999092</a><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VideoGames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/MechWarrior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MechWarrior</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/BattleTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BattleTech</a>

ISDTinkering tinkering on details. I made a blue/red purple for the cockpits. I did just the front/front-top ones on Marauders and ignored the sides. Could've been better. I may still redo these.Then I added some hazard stripes, rank marks out of my hat, and numbers 1-4 on each. I considered doing some kill marks on the barrels but they just didn't feel right so I didn't. Ditto catchphrases, graffiti, etc, I just can't create cool ones from nowhere *shrug* <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BattleTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BattleTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MiniaturePainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MiniaturePainting</a>

Austin Ramsay GamesI won the tournament! The force (all B variants) I brought to the Clan only Classic <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Battletech</a> tournament and the prizes I won (by getting a box and trading everything for stuff I wanted more)! My tournament match win streak is now at 15 and I was 1st for 4 of those while the 5th I placed 2nd.

Scott BoehmerI sprayed the next few batches of BattleTech minis that I’m planning to paint. These will eventually be mercs, Fed Com, Hell’s Horses, and Wolf-in-Exile. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BattleTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BattleTech</a>

Aleccia RosewaterThe classic-to-alphastrike conversion rules could be better. Having an AC/20 or Gauss Rifle or similar should get a CRIT special for more dangerous critical hits Having pulse lasers or targeting computers or similar should give an ACC special SRCH should only be found on units that actually have a searchlight Large naval units should not get a hundred structure points; have a cap on how much structure and armor something can have Mobile Buildings should only die when every single part is destroyed. Destroying only half of the moving superweapon is anticlimactic <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#battletech</a>

ISDNow, a month later, I got the jewelables black-based and did just about the full set of energy weaponizing. There just wasn't enough time for mixing a cockpit colour, which I think will lean towards purple somehow. If I manage, that is.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BattleTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BattleTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MiniaturePainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MiniaturePainting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WIP</a>

NinjaDebuggerThink my next battletech project for auction is going to be this SLDF command lance.

SeanStarting my next batch of minis. Gonna try to remember to photo document this time as I go. This batch is an Ostsol-8E and a Caesar-3R, plus two Maxim hovertanks as proxies for the pair of Vedette tanks I lost on the field last night (having borrowed those two models from a friend, I will paint the closest thing I have to them).So far, all four are in the same state: I've dry-brushed them all with a metallic steel/silver gray on top of black primer. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#battletech</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#miniaturepainting</a>

Scott BoehmerMy daughter and I finished the second contract of our Mercenaries campaign yesterday.
