Great recap video. Yeah, several TROs suffered from "overcompensation" artwork with huge barrels. Hopefully, they correct that issue without compromising the basic concept of the mechs affected.

Cant wait to gorge myself upon buying Mercs packs once released in Scandinavia😆 My mech wishes are though: -Packs of 20 ton lights like Fleas, Locust, any 20t Clan lights too. I guess 4 for IS and 5 for Clan. Each a lorecanon variant. Would buy several Flea packs! Love that bugger - Many more Faction packs of any group: FRR/ CGBD/ RD, Aurigan Coalition, MagOCanopus, Jarnfolk, Capellans, Clan Seafox, Coyote, Snow Raven/ Raven Alliance is HIGH on my list - Mechs like Ares, Deimos, Talos, Tenchi, MadDog " mk 2 " ( not really having a chin turret except MW4 intro )/ Mk III and Mk IV, Owens, Chimera, Supernova +++ would be awesome as well. If not lore canon from MW, make em that as long as canonilorified correctly

Good stuff! That BattleTech Universe book they will do an initial print run of 10,000 copies and are prepared to reprint. I’d expect you should be able to get it this summer, and yes, I think it’s going to be something pretty special. Awesome video mate. Thanks.

Pretty cool. I still do not understand the WHY of one pre-painted mech in a pack. Why not fully pre-painted, and an unpainted package option? Whatever, but it is weird.

The Hammerhead 2 I can see. But the Savage Wolf I'm not sold on. One of the things they stressed at PAX Unplugged was that the painted mechs would be designs that we have already seen, or that have already been released. And the Savage Wolf (Mad Cat IV) is a new design (technically).

The Excalibur is designed to engage an enemy at long range and use its mobility to dictate the ranges of the engagement. The 'Mech is named for the appearance of the muzzle and dummy hand on the right arm, which reminded the design team of the look of a medieval Terran sword.

I was curious so i checked , you know the one thing these mechs have in common with each other and the currently released/scheduled is ? They all appear in the current range of TROs ie Succession Wars , Clan Invasion , Jihad , Dark Age and Classics Vol 1 ........ Like Classics glaringly has the Scorpion Empire cough cough WoB mechs at the back that exist we believe yes ? I honestlty expect no gaps in any of these books say within 18 months ........ And as im about to double check my claim that thought that its possible makes me smile

Savage wolf has that armored standard Gyro (each crit slot can take a crit to no effect, Ferro Lamellor armor, XXL engine which makes it tougher overall except it can't take any torso loss. But at least you won't be flopping around on the ground with a broken gyro.

I'm a little confused with the Peacekeeper, since there's two mechs with that name. Some people seem to think it's the post-Jihad Assault mech, but I have also heard that it might be the Star League-era militiamech. Has there been any clarification on which of the two we are getting?
@SleeplessRonin
8 ай бұрын
When I think of the Peacekeeper, I think of the assault. Which is what came first and foremost to mind (and thus what I used). I did look at the militia mech briefly - and determined it to be confusing. The issue with the militia mech is that it is quite a mess. There is the Peacemaker PoliceMech, which is a variant of the Copper SecurityMech. BUT, there is also the Peacekeeper SecurityMech mentioned in the last few pages of the TRO Vehicles Annex Revisited that is also a variant of the Copper. I went with the bigger name and more recognized mech - the Republic of the Sphere Peacekeeper Assault mech. Now it would be interesting to get an industrial / militia mech at some point in time, but I'm guessing that this is not the time. I could be wrong.

Well anyone who doesn´t like the paintjob can just remove the paint and do it themself. In fact i suspect many will od just that, especially if they don´t want the mechs for a Star League lance but a lance that just happens to have Star League mechs.
