I'd love to play in a mechwarrior campaign that started like that....loyal soldiers turned into mercs due to circumstances and trying to keep their heads above water.... Mechwarrior meets Firefly đ

I have this fantastic battletech comic from ages ago (might even be a 3D comic) which is the story of a group of Kurita dispossessed formed into a suicide unit. They stumble on a enemy mech encampment, sneak in, kill some dudes, and then actually steal a few battlemechs. Upon return, the Kurita command thanks them for the mechs, but basically states that since they were going on a suicide mission, they have already been listed as dead, and are told to basically commit seppuke. Instead, they steal the mechs they stole and turn into mercs. Very cool comic.

Exactly! Expressing a concern based on released information is surely the clarion call of doom and gloom for now and all end times. Or, maybe take a more laid back response and simply say, we'll see. Unless of course you have some new math that proves me wrong? Or would like to deny the fact that marines or other MEQs are not the most popular armies....? But no, your clear and concise lack of argumentation and use of hyperbole is much more helpful.

based on the termy, I don't think it is hard to day that a typical marine is going to be T4, W2, and 3+ armor save. Combine that with a bolter stat which will probably be S4, 3+ to hit, AP 0, 24" rapid fire (thanks to storm bolter stats). If other armies infantry weapons aren't better than the bolter.... popping off a bunch of lasguns at marines is going to be really worthless. So that leaves doing real damage to special/heavy weapons. And of course good melee weapons as well. If strategems are going to fix that? then this game just went back to "special rules win the day" hammer. Ugh. Have fun waiting for those.

I found a few makers of STLs for warmaster now...really good stuff. Haven't bought the files yet, but soon. Of course I could wait until I've built and painted my GW warmaster armies.....
-
But not everyone is a mechwarrior in that game....you could have a mechanic, or a spy....so its not all about just mech combat...not much of an RPG if that is all it was...just play battletech. So how do you fill in the rest and still have mech combat where half your group isn't doing nothing?
-
I guess I was thinking that an RPG was like D&D RPG, not a company level campaign system.

That is a whole lot of "no information". Any chance you could provide some specifics? What is a "grinder"? Is that a free for all, last man standing event? What tonnages are you expecting people to bring? Or maybe I'm making too much out of it? Maybe its just an invitation to come to MM and play battletech there, up to you to sort out how? Either way, it would be great if you could clarify things.

I've always wanted to play in a battletech RPG. That being said, I have no idea how the campaign would actually flow. Lets say only half the party are mechwarriors. When it comes to doing the mech stuff, what are the other players doing? Also, considering the time, effort, and cost of maintaining and repairing a mech, I don't see combats really going down to the wire in most cases right? In typical fantasy, its okay if a character drops because as long as they get healed soon enough, no worries. But if your mech's arm gets blown off, and you've got massive internal damage....you are screwed. Or what if you win the fight, but someone loses their mech in the process? Dispossessed is huge in Battletech. Do you just skirt those sorts of reality in the RPG? Or just make sure that your group has enough support to weather stuff like that? I also hope to make the battletech event at MM on the 16th. Just not sure at this point.

Anyone know any professional caregivers looking for work?
Brother Glacius replied to Brother Glacius's topic in Warpspace
I'm looking for a caregiver for my 19yr old daughter with Rett Syndrome. That's about all the detail I'm willing to put up on a public forum. -
Just curious really. I thought I'd really get into 9th, but it was all just too much. I made it my last edition of 40k to collect. I just wrapped it up and now boom...its all junk as 10th is around the corner. I feel like I just woke up four days after buying a time share thinking "what did I do?" đ

Interested in the Karskin kill team. I don't have any of your want list though. -
Willing to buy or trade for some warmaster blisters/units. Looking for the following: Chaos Warriors High Elf Silverhelms Dwarf Rangers Bone Giant Goblins Orc Rock Lobba Boar Boyz Chaos Chariots I'm sure I won't find any chariots, but hoping I can find some of the others. Not willing to pay collector's prices as I'm going to use these for my actual armies and if I can't find GW ones, then I'll just go with 3D printed. But it doesn't hurt to check.

Battletech Alpha Strike Box review
Brother Glacius replied to Brother Glacius's topic in All Other Games
Considering that the rules and datasheets are basically free...you just need to buy a map pack and are all set for battletech even with the AS box. -
