#Mechtober #Battletech 10/7 - Northwind Highlanders! Today I'm putting everyone's favorite un-aging Scottish mercenary Leopard pilot on blast - Ryana from #mechwarrior5! Fun fact from the book The Mercenary Life, was a Highlander pilot with the Northwind Highlanders, an anthology prequel to the game

#mechtober 7 I've always liked the Northwind Highlanders, especially since they go back to ancient Terra. I loved how they were the backbone of the Black Watch. They were also the outfit I usually joined in MW4: Mercs hah #Battletech @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social @battletech.bsky.social

It's #Mechtober day 5, which means we're talking about the Lone Wolves. They ultimately chose the right side in the Jihad, and paid for it. I hope the Wolfs Dragoons compensated them eventually. #BattleTech

For #mechtober Well, my free fiction is available RIGHT NOW, featuring Northwind Highlanders in the Gothic universe! Also out is Long Road, featuring former Highlanders making their way downtown, walkin' fast, faces pass, and they're homebound. (I kid, but this is kinda a semi-accurate description?🤪

Finally joining in on #mechtober, my non-canonical Northwind Highlanders lance: the Night Witches! #battletech #minipainting

#Mechtober 6 - Mountain Wolf BattleMechs Mountain Wolf BattleMechs is a manufacturer split between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Outworlds Allaince. They are probably best known for the Merlin which was one of the first all new chassis introduced after the devastation of the Succession Wars.

How has melee changed in the Core Rulebook? Check out this discussion from the Core Rulebook Full Review episode on Punches, Kicks, & Melee Weapon changes! #BattleTech #MechWarrior #Mechtober youtu.be/B-PYT7BdQ2c

For #Mechtober 6th, we look at the Rifleman IIc! This original TRO 3055 Mech was STUNNING in full color along with the other IIc Mechs. It's obnoxiously long barrel arms & extra large radar dish are iconic. The new CGl sculpt isn't nearly as flashy, but gets the job done.

Not a fan of the Lone Wolves, so here is my fave #BattleTech merc unit, the Gray Death Legion! From reading the 1st GDL trilogy as a kid, painting custom GDL Mechs, to naming my son Grayson. The new storyline in the ilClan era has me excited to see where the go next #Mechtober

Are you ready to start week 2 of #MechTober! This week is all about famous Commands in the history of #BattleTech! You'll find a bevvy to talk about this week, with five all-star mercenary organizations, the SLDF (in any of its forms), and your favorite House forces! #mecha

#MechTober 5 - The Lone Wolves As with many others, my experience with the Lone Wolves is mostly from Lone Wolf and Fox. There is one hot spot in Hinterlands where your unit can join them, but it seems like an expansion to cover working with the coop more would be fun.

Today for #Mechtober is Moutain Wolf Battlemechs. Across multiple Shrapnels, Rusty Zimmerman wrote an arc about getting MW's Merlin into production, and it's incredible. The first story is one of family pride, and despair; of love and trying to earn a father's love. It's Btech fiction at its best.

#mechtober 6 - What I know about Mountain Wolf Battlemechs is their color, and a friend, Rusty Zimmerman has written about them. He did inspire me to get a Merlin, though I didn't paint it as MWB colors. The stories are a fun read #Battletech @battletech.bsky.social @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Day Six of #mechtober #battletech and we turn to Mountain Wolf BattleMechs, yet another manufacturer I discounted until recent fiction forced a revisit. Most of that came down to the Merlin, partly "but Hatchetman first?" but also because the TRO3058 art was a miss for me.

#mechtober #battletech 10/6 - Mountain Wolf Battlemechs! A quick Sarna search told me this manufacturer is an Inner Sphere supplier of one of my favorite Clan 'mechs, the Rifleman IIC: which earned my love in MWO, as I'd change two pulse lasers out for ERs and snipe like a coward on big snow maps 🤣

Missed yesterday's post, but @MW5Mercs so graciously posted this trailer today for Ashes & Ascension. THIS is my favorite iteration of the SLDF. Victor leading them through Operation BULLDOG against the Clans. #Mechtober youtu.be/VxE9vA3C_ac?...

I think most BattleTech fans from my generation probably came in through MechWarrior 2 and its sequels. My formative video game encounter was with the AOL-hosted MultiPlayer BattleTech: Solaris. Fun and real-time, but fast-paced it was not! #mechtober #battletech #vtuber

Of course with #Mechtober today being about the Lone Wolves, i had to include some of Jackie Darwin’s Whipits. Pulled straight from Hot Spots Hinterlands temporary hires!

Sixth day of #Mechtober and it’s all about the mountain wolves . This group of Mechwarriors won me over both as a beacon of inclusivity and as fully realized characters brought to life by Russel Zimmerman . I haven’t got a chance to paint any yet but I did build a bunch !
