#mechtober #battletech 10/4 - SLDF! I'll use today to share a sleeper hit pack - while the 1st league forcepack I loved the instant I heard "Atlas II", the 3rd Battle Group I became enamored with the Excalibur and Malice as I painted them up and read about them, had to play with 'em immediately!

#Mechtober #Batteltech 10/3 - Videogames! When Wolves of Tukayyid dropped for #Mechwarrior5Clans , stomping around a city in my Warhawk feeling invincible, when a Black Knight 9 (yknow with a SWORD) jumpscares me and shrugs off 4 full alphastrikes - unrecorded was my screaming as I backpedaled 😅

#mechtober #battletech 10/2 - Alpha Strike Gameplay! This week started Aces Scouring Sands! I'm an AS novice still, but the Aces campaign system has us excited - only did the simulator mission so far (10/10 VP btw, to humble brag). The groupchat is now in deep deliberation building our merc company😂

#mechtober #battletech 10/1 - Classic Gameplay! Most recent game from the other week, our LGS campaign system, we raided a water-supply depot of a local warlord. I used a stock Javelin, and despite its fragility, i managed to finish off the kill on two enemies with my sandblasting of SRMS!

So. Here's some lousy BattleTech news. (I will not tempt fate by predicting how it'll land in the hobby's "worst news of the year" list.)

new #Mechwarrior5Clans DLC is great, love my Wolves - but biggest downside for me is the random assignment of mechs available for purchase. Im on the last level and still havent been offered a single Bane to buy. Saw on some other gameplay videos they got different mechs offered than me. I WANT DAKA

As free time returns to me and i can get back to hobbies, naturally a new one enters the fray - #Gunpla! Only did 1 or 2 ever before, but went to a pop-up #GundamBase, and opened the proverbial floodgates. I think i've done 8 High Grades in the one month since then😁 (Working on a MG now!)

Crazy #battletech game set up by one of our regulars back around Halloween - we defended a scrapyard as zombie Urbies swarmed! They were assisted by a Charger and their leader - 4 Urbies glued together! (aka an Annihilator 😄). Like any good zombie movie, most of us died, but a few survived and won!

Haven't been as diligent recording pics for BatReps, but have a few from the few #Battletech games i squeezed in over the busy last few months. This one was a super cool map - fighting out a cavern full of Kuritans to extract a defecting scientists. Hunchbacks were scary in that terrain!!

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 😂.

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 😅 )

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

Ed "Salami" T @salamitactical.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

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.

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 😅

Ed "Salami" T @salamitactical.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

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!

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!

"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 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.

a Banshee Battlemech is flanked and given an involuntary rectal examination by a sprinting clan Fire Moth omnimech. MEEP MEEP!

#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!

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
