It’s been over 30 years since I painted a battletech mini. Need to get myself some hex bases to finish these heavies.

Wanting to know about ordinary people in extraordinary worlds isn't weird, right?
I think I'm weird. When I get into a fictional setting I want what I think of as the view from street level. What is life like for people who aren't the super special protagonists? What do people do when they aren't on adventures? What's the food like? How does magic affect normal life? Etc.

If a faction's prior contributions to the plot justify them getting more time in the spotlight, then the next thirty novels should be about the Word of Blake. We owe them for reshuffling the deck in the 3070s, right?

If you don't like Clan Wolf, deal with it. Somebody has to advance the plot.

I'm not quite as negative as Red about this - but I am putting "Wolf stories they could have done instead" on my list of possible topics.
I might lose some friends if I make a video on it.
This DLC does absolutely nothing for me. Less mechs, and less interesting mechs than Flashstorm.
A Lame story centred around a tired, overexposed Clan, that I'm sure they'll heavily reinvent just to not make it stale. This is lame.

When I learned about the ARC-6W Archer (180 rocket launcher tubes) I knew that I had to have one for my Magistracy Cavaliers.

I'm going to make a post today about something I'd really rather not, and yea, it's AI related again. But I just want to say, the amount of deliberately inflamatory AI video's entering my feed trying to pass for authentic is sincerely disastrous.
It's also feeding people's dark fantasies in public-

Played a nice game of #battletech today, 15k points Vs some Jade Phoenix as well as using the recently printed terrain (which I may have accidentally printed off the same party twice)
It wasn't going well until the last round, in which 2 lucky headshots turned it around, all in all very fun game

The showdown continues.
A couple of brutal hits have beat up the Shadow Hawk somewhat. The Wolverine might have to start making some more tactical errors 😉.
