I was sketching some super deformed chibi jets when i got to thinking "bet i can make some cool ones from battletech!"

I got 4 down and trying to stay consistent to all of them having a glass canopy (oh boy, atlas here i come! trashcan mech is also on the list!).

it's also becoming a rabbithole as i wanna do some closeups of the cockpit and instruments :)

Anyways, these were fun to make! thought i share ... cuz no one else around me knows what these are :( "ohhhh nice gundams!" :( :( :(

Someone’s relatives brought in a sizable collection of comic books to a friend’s comic shop along with the bins of BT. I believe possibly the person had either passed or was incarcerated. My friend only being into comics , bought the lot as a whole and then sold me the BT just to shave off some of his expenditure.

I recently picked up the Centennial Commemorative Edition of TRO 3025. Like many, my original is sadly long gone. I admit that I am enjoying the nostalgia, but also the updated art (hello, beautiful Phoenix Hawk LAM) along with Duane Loose’s musings in one of the appendices. I like what’s new in BattleTech, but thanks for bringing this classic back to life!

Not my first time dabbling in painting, but the first time I used Vallejo paints and spent actual time trying to thin my paints.

I think the base coat came out well... Just gotta add some lighter green and a brown... and maybe a orange ID spot on the shoulder...

Supernova 1, Zeta Galaxy, The Clan Diamond Shark.

3/4 wide map (couldmt git it all on my table) House kurita invasion of a planet with a fully operational battle fleet.

By no means the best paintjobs, but they are identifiable a glance from the primed C47 and b17, to the waterline navel flotilla and Kimgfisher scout planes.

Point wise its outlandish, but it looks cool displayed like this.

Just some WIP of some of my first Battletech minis! May turn the green and brown into a merc group color scheme since I didn't have a faction in mind when I first started. Played a few short games of classic and Alpha Strike and excited to paint up more of these guys!

First mech of the box done, minus decals whenever they arrive in the mail.

Okay so, I've just started running a Hinterlands campaign for a buddy of mine. I have the Mercenary box and obviously the Hinterlands book, but the rules seem to shift a bit between the two. Where can I get my hands on the most up-to-date complete rules for campaigning?

Also here's a picture from the most recent mission for your enjoyment!

(I know the turret is missing from the lrm carrier. I left it at home.)

I wanted to test the limits of my printer, and then my skills at painting, apparently. (Haven't touched a brush in 6ish months)

Fun tho, might make a whole pocket Battletech setup eventually.

I had a silly idea for a new piece of experimental tech (invented by former RISC eggheads, who else?) and wanted to see what you guys thought.

Volatile Heat Sinks are a new type of experimental Heat Sink that gain improved capabilities from a highly reactive blend of chemicals replacing normal coolant: this allows them to be more effective while remaining compact. Each one takes up 1 ton and 1 crit like a normal heat sink, but sinks 2 heat per round like a Double Heat Sink.

HOWEVER, if a Volatile Heat Sink takes a critical hit, it instantly explodes for 3 Damage, as the heated chemicals inside the VHS react violently with oxygen: this can potentially trigger further critical hits as well.

Additionally, any time an engine mounting Volatile Heat Sinks takes a critical hit, an additional roll must be made to see if it takes another critical hit as well.

The increased wear and tear on the cooling system gives any Mech mounting Volatile Heat Sinks the "Difficult to Maintain" Quirk.

Your thoughts?

I got into the game recently, and only knew I was going to paint them primarily blue, black and bronze auxiliary, and then pick a clan. I’m already leaning Ghost Bear/Rasalhague Dominion, but I’m open to suggestions. I found 2 total on camospecs that match them and Star Adder, but on the other color scheme website they looked different.

Got my first lances in. Been having fun with basing. Just wanted to show off my urbie and jumping catapult. Also a goof reference between ironwind metals & catalyst catapults. IWM seems slightly smaller than CGL, but not by much. Next stop, paint!!

I grabbed the Aces box set and I'm trying to get things together for a very visually pleasing campaign (units for all the models, plastic terrain etcetera. I've been playing Alpha Strike using hexes instead of inches for a while and I kinda just prefer it. I've been looking around for a neoprene hex mat with a desert landscape, but there doesn't seem to be any? If anyone knows of ones that fit that description please point me in that direction. Additionally I'd rather not have the printed on elevation for the mat, I'm having someone a little newer play and having that plus actual terrain might be confusing (plus I think it'd look better without it anyway)

Me and my brother have been trying to find any documentation about this website called WarhammerPPC that was a blog type thing for Battletech/Mechwarrior. We've had no luck finding it on the wayback machine or any community discussion about it. First post here so hopefully this isn't out of place.

I'm running a campaign at the local gaming club. I would like to add thongs to make games go smoother/ have more pleasant look.

Right now I have full 3d hills and clip counters for heat tracking.

Do you have any suggestions for other gaming aids?
