Victor<p>So when <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Mechwarriors5Clans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mechwarriors5Clans</span></a> came out, I complained I didn't want a cinematic campaign, and also didn't find playing as the clans compelling. And maybe someone at <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/PiranhaGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PiranhaGames</span></a> was listening, cause they're making a new DLC for their previous sandbox style game, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Mechwarrior5Mercenaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mechwarrior5Mercenaries</span></a>, that lets you fight back against the clan invasions!</p><p><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3799610/MechWarrior_5_Mercenaries__Shadow_of_Kerensky/?curator_clanid=39999092" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">store.steampowered.com/app/379</span><span class="invisible">9610/MechWarrior_5_Mercenaries__Shadow_of_Kerensky/?curator_clanid=39999092</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/MechWarrior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MechWarrior</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/BattleTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BattleTech</span></a></p>
Aleccia Rosewater<p>Why are motive checks a thing? Why can't wheeled vehicles instead have six tires each with their own hit points and you roll to see which tire gets hit <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a></p>

Tinkering tinkering on details. I made a blue/red purple for the cockpits. I did just the front/front-top ones on Marauders and ignored the sides. Could've been better. I may still redo these.

Then I added some hazard stripes, rank marks out of my hat, and numbers 1-4 on each. I considered doing some kill marks on the barrels but they just didn't feel right so I didn't. Ditto catchphrases, graffiti, etc, I just can't create cool ones from nowhere *shrug*

The classic-to-alphastrike conversion rules could be better.
Having an AC/20 or Gauss Rifle or similar should get a CRIT special for more dangerous critical hits
Having pulse lasers or targeting computers or similar should give an ACC special
SRCH should only be found on units that actually have a searchlight
Large naval units should not get a hundred structure points; have a cap on how much structure and armor something can have
Mobile Buildings should only die when every single part is destroyed. Destroying only half of the moving superweapon is anticlimactic #battletech

Now, a month later, I got the jewelables black-based and did just about the full set of energy weaponizing. There just wasn't enough time for mixing a cockpit colour, which I think will lean towards purple somehow. If I manage, that is.

Starting my next batch of minis. Gonna try to remember to photo document this time as I go.

This batch is an Ostsol-8E and a Caesar-3R, plus two Maxim hovertanks as proxies for the pair of Vedette tanks I lost on the field last night (having borrowed those two models from a friend, I will paint the closest thing I have to them).

So far, all four are in the same state: I've dry-brushed them all with a metallic steel/silver gray on top of black primer. #battletech #miniaturepainting

My painting skills continue to slowly improve. I bulk primed almost my entire collection and have decided that any mech taking damage gets painted before it can be fielded again.

Naturally I decided this right before starting a mercenary campaign that includes two total mechs so far. Maybe I'll get to paint some tanks next week? #battletech #miniaturepainting #miniatures #mechwarriors
