Painted up a Cougar for Clan Smoke Jaguar, and a few hills to keep the map a bit more interesting. #Battletech

Finished a couple of stars of 28mm elementals this weekend. This is the first of those stars. Looks like that Urbie is in serious trouble!

Here's the web version of last weekend's more relaxed Secrets of #BattleTech - a little chat about some Clan Diamond Shark legends & a review of Khan Ian Hawker's performance on the road to Tukayyid.

#Battletech LGS living campaign🧵! Mission is to get 3 objectives from 3 trucks coming through a mountain road - 1 may have intel on a rebellious Canopian military leader. We set 2 minefields secretly on the road, and prep by predicting where the trucks may stop (based on known movement speed).

For when you just want to go fast - the Locust! Here's my version painted up in the colors of House Arano from back when I was first getting into #Battletech.

#MechADay 61: Elemental Battle Armor It's like a whole bunch of itty-bitty 'Mechs! Okay, not really. allthemechs.blogspot.com/2025/03/mech... #BattleTech

Board is set for tonight's Alpha Strike game. Steiner assaults city. Kurita 206 points vs. Steiner 225. All Steiner units must enter the city by the road and no units can be on the hill map after turn 3(To represent Steiner incompetence, they're walking into a cross fire.) #BattleTech #AlphaStike

'Mech Chess, queaff? #BattleTech

Hello Bluesky Community! I've heard about this new platform and decided to take the plunge. I'm the GM Penguin, and I help organize our Wreck-a-Mech #Battletech crew at Third Coast Games in Friendswood, TX. We get together every Wednesday at 6 pm. I hope to see some new faces!

Trailblazer is stealing my bit! 🤣 Seriously, though: the video's pretty good. I would have said more - but I guess that means it's worth writing a newsletter about this topic sometime?

More BattleTech Battlemats have landed. Getting ready for Tukayyid. #Wargaming #Battletech #Nerdlings

The Turkina A is an elegant, long range platform that looks great in my Sea Fox forces. What is your favorite variant of the Turkina?

Today's building is done. I really love this one. Though I am struggling with making flat usable tops while keeping the style I want. I might be doing a style change too to have more variety as most cities don't have a single cohesive scheme. #battletech #3dprinting #blender

The web version of last weekend's Secrets of #BattleTech is live. This is probably the 2nd-most clickbait title so far - but it's not a bait & switch, there is an attempt to make this tin-foil case.

The first zine I've contributed to since I was in high school! Can't wait to see it all come together 💜

#MechADay 54: Marauder II For when a Marauder just isn't quite enough. allthemechs.blogspot.com/2025/03/mech... #BattleTech

Swarm tactics This one went through so many changes from start to finish. Initially I wanted it to feature Awesome and to have single elemental swooping in through missile barrage... #battletech #digitalpainting #art #digitalart #procreate #procreateartist #mechwarrior

Battletech is now so big that even my Warhammer friends are sending me this photo and asking “are you seeing this shit?”

Going to thread links to each #battletech event that the MRC is putting on. You can always listen to @thecoolantpod.bsky.social to learn more as well. Up first, Brawl in the Bluegrass 2025: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Another mad cat for the battletech folks here! Gonna get back into painting regularly again, I think. This one is the leader of Eden’s Corsairs, my pirate merc force for a hinterlands campaign I’m taking part in!

Work in progress- Stormcrow C with LBX10, lpl and dual mpl. Around 1850 bv on a 6/9 mover that can take a gauss round anywhere on the front and not penetrate. Thinking of taking it to Rockytop Con (8k Civ War in May/ Knoxville TN) #battletech #MRC #Rockytopcon #TheCoolantPod

Latest #battletech podcast from The Coolant Pod! open.spotify.com/episode/3Jge...

Another good game of #battletech, did I win?, nope, were some of the mech kills funny? yes Did a hunchback 2c somehow 'survive' with 1 CT internal point left?, yes

Just finished up my take on CGL's Union-class dropship, Free Rasalhague Republic circa 3048. Nothing bad could happen to it, right?....r-right? #Battletech #MiniPainting #FRR

#battletech 10k Clan BatRep! star on star - my Clan Wolf Star: Dire Wolf, Conjurer, Summoner, Piranha, Mad Dog D vs. Clan "Royal Corgi": Stormcrow, Nova Cat, Phoenix Hawk IIC (3), Fire Moth H, Kingfisher E. Objective is to secure 5 total supply drops (6 possible zones), 1 activates each turn.

This week's Secrets of #BattleTech: Tyra Miraborg in context. While putting this together, I was taken by the moods of Norse saga in the Miraborg story: family tensions, tragic misunderstandings, and, of course, violence. It's wild that the FRR has that darkness AND happy lefty Scandinavia vibes.

I made this meme a while back and I feel like it would be appreciated on here :) #battletech

Great advice…. #Battletech

#battletech nerds are a pretty strange bunch

Another one of W0lk's big boys. The Atlas II is such a beast, it seemed fitting to paint it gold.

And the rest of the Lance. Meet the Wiltshire Warhounds. #battletech #miniaturepainting

Tabletop ready combined arms star for the #battletech Hell's Horses Kappa Galaxy.

The web version of the latest Secrets of #BattleTech is now live. This one's a bit of a hot take - as much as a view on a thirty year old storyline can be a hot take, anyway.

Cooler than a Cybertruck.

#MechADay 40: Archer I've been so excited to share this one. I am beyond thrilled with how it came out. Yes, it's Jaime Wolf. allthemechs.blogspot.com/2025/02/mech... #BattleTech
