You'd think he of all people would understand current "AI" is far from the sci fi version and certainly isn't magic?! ðĪĶ The current algorithms erroneously called AI are massively error-prone! The rewritten corpus of knowledge would be garbage, and useless to train with. Except to train more garbage.

ð still so iconic! I love painting them!! It was my first Battletech miniature purchase back in the late 80s from Ral Partha. But then the Crusader (my second mini!) stole my heart. ð

Adrian Smith's Chaos warrior masterpiece. The cover of my first Chaos Warriors army book (5th edition I think?). It's still the defining image of "Warhammer Fantasy" in my mind. I want a huge version for my living room wall, over the fireplace... My "Normy" house guests can deal with it!! ð

One of my favorites. ð This album got me through a break up and moving to a new state and restarting my life at 25. A bunch of tracks live in my heart permanently. ð

Oh a foot washer?!?! That's what it is! I feel bad now for giving my hotel a bad review because I was mad that the water fountain was too low to drink from without hurting my back... ðŽ Whoopsy...

This vehicle reminds me more than a little of the TOG gravtanks from Renegade Legion. ðĪ Obvious stylistic differences, but still the same design family...

Nice! I've never had much luck with the Hunchback myself. It tends to usually spend 3 turns running and then it explodes! ð

At first glance I'm not a huge fan of the clunky aesthetic... But it could probably grow on me. ðĪ Maybe for my "Dawn of Battlemechs" Early Star League campaign idea??

First squad of 6 with 2 Flamers, 1 Fusion Rifle, and a Sargent with Power Sword. Second squad with: 2 Machine Guns, 1 Plasma Cannon, and a Sargent with Plasma Pistol and Power Sword.
Just 17 models left to paint and the army is done!! ð

I'm also a big Epic fan. My Ork Horde is sizable... I tried to give my old plastic Ork Stompas custom Battletech stats but eventually settled on just making them Hatchetman proxies. ðĪĢ

It's not much, but here's my small unit of Inquisitor 28 characters (also used as my 5 Parsecs From Home crew!):
It's my "Rogue Trader" (Imperial Charter is actually a pretty poor counterfeit...), Captain Brann Von Todesmaus (twin guns, rakish goatee). And his trusty crew of "agents" (criminals)...

Welcome to the obsession!! ð I bought the Battletech box by mistake in 86 (12 yo me thought it was a Robotech spin off) and I've been hooked ever since! ð I've had to replace my old metal minis collection twice due to theft, so I'm taking EXTRA care of these new models!!! I'm at 140 now. ðĪŠ

I like the looks. Unfortunately a lot of older primitive designs have the issue of low damage output. With everything else weighing more, they just get less tonnage for guns. I still love Primitive mechs though. ð
