First full game of the new rules at my local store. This was a GM vs Player battle, and it was the first time the players used the new rules on tabletop. The opfor left the map on turn 5 after losing half of thier force the pervious turn. #battletech

I spent the weekend digesting the new rules. I am going to try out all the new rules, starting with the Nyx 90 and its 2 lances. In a charge, if both lances hit (only one does damage) and it doesn't damage internal, it has a change of causing a crit on a 5+. #battletech #core2026

Tuesday Newsday - only real #Battletech news - the Bug 'Mech Company is going to retail for $69.99! That is a great price point for that. I think it's going to sell out

The age of the Savannah Master is over, the age of MRM+Apollo has begun! Hyperbole aside, the updated rules to MRMs make me think we will see more of them in the future, especially with the Apollo FCS. I look forward to my Whitworth 2H saturating a hex filled with fast units #battletech #core2026

The current iteration of the MUL is shutting down at the end of August. There is no guarantee that the replacement site will open concurrently. If you need lists for Battletech try Mega Mek Lab, Mek Bay, or Mech Factory For Alpha Strike Mek Bay, or Jeff's Battletech tools IIC #Battletech

A test of the pilot card project that I am working on for Battletech. I am going all out on future games I run to include accolades earned by the player. For instance, a player's pilot takes 5 wounds in a single battle and makes all their consciousness rolls #battletech #alphastrike

Hot Spot Draconis Reach has a literal cattle rustling track that includes Cattlemasters I have had this Cattlemaster for almost 20 years and was finally insipred to paint it up. I used my new 'good enough' approach to painting using speed paints #battletech #alphastrike

I was thumbing through Hot Spots Draconis Reach and Melcher caught my eye. Its cattle rustling, and it even has Cattlematers! I just happen to have a Cattlemaster in metal. Its drying from Its base coat as I write this! I love when I obscure mechs get spotlighted. #battletech #alphastrike

I love the new critical summary chart for Battletech that has been shown from the new Core rules. This one thing will save me a lot of time at the table. Has anyone seen the full chart posted anywhere? Also, did I see that the new stuff won't be out until October now? So far away ... #Battletech

The Mekbay app is now semi automated. You still have to manually input most data, but it does keep track of ammo & heat for you. Its not as automated as flechs, but it does work with infantry and vehicles, which flechs does not. It also works with Alpha Strike. #battletech #alphastrike

I digital project has been eating up the majority of my hobby time. I call it project Hawkwood and its a love letter to the 80s sword & sorcery media of my youth. Stay tuned for more posts coming soon! #80'sfantasy #d&d #pathfinder #sword&sorcery #talespire #titancraft #heroforge
My take on Dekkion from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoonAn homage to Prince Colwyn from KrullAn orginal character thatvia currently called Black Metal Warlock. The name will change, but he is definitely inspired by one of the guys in my early days of AD&D. He was a massive metal head. Inspired by, rather than a direct copy of the 2 main protagonists from the 1987 film the Barbarians.

Where the Kontio wants to punch you in the face, the Hammerhead wants to kick you in the jimmies. With AES in the legs and hardened armor (so think 240 armor points) its a worthy foe. #battletech

I am going to keep this brief and address the elehant in the room, this starter box looks like the folks at Catalyst did a rail off of a Canopian cat girl, gave a Ric Flair "Woo!" and hit publish. Those mechs! Its almost like they want new players to have fun. #battletech
