I have a Demolisher II (Thunderbolt) assault tank on our Hinterlands online campaign, it's such a terror unit it's pretty hilarious x) 2336 BV is kinda horrifying cost for a single tank, but a pair of Thunderbolt 20s and 86 armor upfront is a little bit scary xD

BattleTech rules revamp tests for Package 3 (Gear) and Package 4 (Battlefield Support: Aerospace) is available now! Some personal favs on Gear test; - UACs can no longer jam - MRMs no longer get TN penalty, but instead take clustering penalty battletech.com/playtest-bat...

Mekbay by the MM team is out in Beta now :3 It's a browser based recordsheet tool with all the bells and whistles, you can have pretty much any unit on it, and it has amazing search with filters <3 And yes, you can save and print forces via it too, and they come in the MM format <3 mekbay.com

in a nutshell, so much white makes camera reduce brightness because it thinks it's a "bright day". I tried upping brightness a bit to show the difference :)

They did some "Destiny" -scale play in first KerenskyCon (Clan Invasion KS big backer launch party of sorts). Sadly I can't find any other photos of it on google anymore, but they had 28mm Marauders for it ^^

I wrote this in 2021; it is as true today as it was then; Trans rights are human rights, and BattleTech, as a mech game, is as trans as it gets 🏳️‍⚧️ You're amazing and important.

If you haven't run into it before; Check out Felix's BattleTech GATOR Trainer! It's generates randomized scenarios for you to practice with based on the ruleset selected, and is a great way to learn GATOR or just pass time when you're not on the field yourself 💘 gamesbyfelix.com/playeraids/b...

The K̷i̷n̷g̷Queen Crab in question. Painted in early February 2022, the time when I still thought Spiro-Estro pills was the only way to do medical transition, hence the AC/20 claw tags 😺

BattleTech is us 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

NOTE: Alt text cropped to fit

I'm Detocroix.

I started this BattleTech Community project in July 2021. Since then I have also organized and edited BattleTech Pride Anthology twice, I have made a lot of queer BattleTech art, if you've seen enamel pins, stickers, charity shirts, or some other BattleTech Pride stuff over the years, you've probably seen something I've made. I just want people to enjoy and feel welcome, I want people to feel safe with this hobby. I don't make stuff for myself, I make things for the queer community, I make neat things *for you*.

While what's going on in US doesn't directly affect me yet, I feel you and I fear for you. There's not much I can do, being this far away, I'm even in the Deep Ass Periphery of Europe. Things are going to go worse before it can become better, and I just want you to survive this. Please.

Even with all the rot going on, this place is here for you, this hobby is always for you. There's some amazing people who work for CGL who work on this franchise and they care for you too. There's queer communities that are welcoming where you can find solace and escape in, be it QueerTech/Pride Anthology Discord--our little home within home, or Star League. CGL Discord is also strongly moderated. There are places where you can go, and enjoy the hobby without being exposed to the rot. Just Bluesky is infinitely better than any other platform at this point.

There are amazing queer community projects coming this year, something to look up to; we're making Pride Anthology this year too, for the third time. Wild-Cat144 is making a comic anthology. Star League is organizing a Pirate Point fanzine. I know there's other projects too, and this year is very much going to be the queerest BattleTech year ever.

Outlive your oppressors, that's the best and worst thing you can do to them.
We are here for you, every single day, being stupid with BattleMechs.
Just don't give up <3
