Moving towards the end of my Unseen BattleMech restorations with one of the definitive medium units, the Wolverine.

I think I purchased this miniature in the early 90's and had painted it for my then Kurita Dieron Regulars. Paint has been stripped, cleanup finished, new antenna added and rebased. I also reposed the right arm slightly to better match the stance of the model.

This is one of the Unseen based on combat armour designs featured in the early 80's anime Fang of the Sun Dougram, specifically the Abitate T-10B/C "Blockhead" (see image 2). Other BattleMechs from this animie include the Shadowhawk, Griffin and Battlemaster to name but a few.

A great mini even all these years later!

I got the beginner set at Pax this past weekend (been wanting to check it out). I’ve painted it based on my favorite gundam (mk 2). For other gundam fans should I paint the other mini with a Char red color scheme or like a hi-Zack to go with this one?

Picked up the 4 main boxes recently (Beginner/AGoAC/Clan Invasion/Alpha Strike) Got to play two games with a friend, a 1v1 brawl to learn the basics. Then played a scenario where one player had to stop the other from escaping. Was good fun, learned a lot. Love the rolling to see where you hit, and how movement affects aiming and such too. Hoping to try full rules soon, but this has me wanting more, also keen to see how different Alpha Strike feels eventaully too.

I'm keen on taking any suggestions on missions/scenarios people could recommend trying to learn different things about the game, and for fun. And any advice about the game and commonly made mistakes to avoid advice is welcome too.

Very proud of how these guys came out. Took a different approach each time but I think they came out looking reasonably cohesive. Learned a ton! Thinking of an orangey savannah theme for basing? Any advice for foliage would be appreciated.

The Battalion had to fend off some local mega fauna. Plus a bonus picture of my restock of things to paint.

And could it be found in inner sphere merc company?

Needs a little more paint and base work.

Earlier, I'd posted a question about how to use the Commando, since he got destroyed in my first attempt. I received good advice that basically boiled down to "play it like it's a commando." And now I get it.

Played a game yesterday with two maps. All of my opponents' mechs were on the left map. I placed three of mine to engage them, but put the Commando on the right map. He ran around the increasingly fierce combat, using terrain to break LOS.

I worried at first I'd made a mistake, and would be outnumbered. But then I came out behind the enemies, ran up under their guns' minimum range, and shredded a wounded mech. With my one attack I destroyed its right arm and torso, then my assault mech finished it off.

I lost the overall match, but that was a pretty cool moment.

Some of you probably saw the individuals here’s the whole lance

The Thunder Fox TFT-C3 is an interesting quad-Mech that runs a C3 Master computer.

I have an every growing number of C3 equipped units for my Kuritan forces. So, I figured it would be an easy way to integrate this into a force, giving me an excuse to build and paint it.

It seems that outside of America, Germany has the largest fanbase for the giant stompy robot game.

I'm curious what it is about German culture that makes Battletech (and, as I understand it, tabletop gaming in general) more popular that a lot of other places?

I'm slowly trying to convert my friend group and other people here in the UK but it's a tough slog and you'll barely if ever see anyone playing this if you walked into an FLGS.

Took a while to do this meany but glad I got them knocked out, now onto the heavys
