I acquired the latest edition of the Tech Manual today and let me tell you if you've wanted to convert a T-72 into a Battlemech murdering machine, it's never been easier.

There's also Warhansa for minis based on the MWO redesigns. http://warhansa.com/index.php/katalog/warlike_tribes.html for Clan mechs. http://warhansa.com/index.php/katalog/terra_promessa.html for Inner Sphere mechs.

Hustlin Floh posted:I'm pretty positive whichever guy designed those clan tanks also did the Project Phoenix mechs, meaning they're a horrible monster who should never work again. They were done by Plog, so I guess it goes to show you that when you're cranking out every other piece of art for every book they produce, you're gonna make some stinkers. Overall TRO: 3060 was not the strongest book for art. You could tell they got the Hauptmann and a couple other units in and then were like "uh I dunnow do whatever" Taintrunner posted:I acquired the latest edition of the Tech Manual today and let me tell you if you've wanted to convert a T-72 into a Battlemech murdering machine, it's never been easier. Not gonna murder many mechs with the light rifled cannon on that thing

I can't believe none of these people have got cease & desist letters yet. The 100% clearly a rifleman renamed "Arisaka" cracked me up. One of their partners is a terrain/building miniatures company that divided up their architecture styles by faction of "alliance, confederation, federation, dragon, league, invaders.."

Getting anything C&D'd would require Topps to give a single gently caress.

It's not just Topps, as far as I know Microsoft still owns the game and software rights and they didn't care when a company put out a game called "Mech Command" a little while ago. Not that it used visuals from Battletech but if the video game Ion Maiden had to change its name I'm sure that Microsoft could have had a case if they cared. At least Warhansa sells physical goods, I saw a site that straight up just sells MWO model file rips for tens of dollars per mech when you can do that yourself for free BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Aug 16, 2019 |

Atlas Hugged posted:Now do them as Game of Thrones houses. Federated Suns = House Stark. Boring and overdone, obviously the "good guys". Lyran Commonwealth = House Lannister. Rich. Snobby. Incestuous behind closed doors. Cappellan Confederation = House Targaryn. Batshit crazy, delusions of grandeur. Exactly one good descendent, and he's a bastard. Draconis Combine = House Greyjoy. Clearly the bad guys, don't give a gently caress what you think. Free Worlds League = House Oberyn. They're in the show, guys, promise. You'll just never see anything important and never hear about what happens there ever again.

On the one hand, the four lance packs in Bloodnamed is tempting just so I can get lots of my favorite stompy robits.

BULBASAUR posted:Now do it for the Clans Wolf - Jon Snow. Very generic but everyone always talks about how important they are. Jade Falcon - Arya Stark. Never sells a defeat, will shrug off any problems. Ghost Bear - The Night's King. Portrayed as a huge threat but can't be bothered to walk more than ten feet from their front door. Nova Cat - Theon Greyjoy. If there's a bad thing, it's happened to them. Diamond Shark - n/a. We're clearly using the show as our basis here and Game of Thrones doesn't give a gently caress about economics. Smoke Jaguar - Tywin Lannister. An antagonist who had the good sense to get out before things got hella stupid. Steel Viper - Doran Martell. People you know who are have actually read the books say he's cool but all you know is they get wrecked. Hell's Horses - Davos Seaworth. Seems pretty decent, but is a born follower and only knows one thing: Snow Raven - Olenna Tyrell. If you're loving the First Prince and he dies, you just upgraded to a newer model. Plus, she's a Redwyne. The Homeworld Clans (Star Adder, Cloud Cobra, Coyote, Goliath Scorpion, Blood Spirit, Fire Mandrill, Ice Hellion) - Pick a character who got cut from the show.

I have almost 0 chance of using the physical models for playing the game, but painting them is plenty for me. I am down to try Alpha Strike though. Seems good.
