Day twenty-seven of #mechtober #battletech and third day of character week is the irrepressible Ace Darwin. From first appearance in Field Manual Mercenaries, Ace and his WhipIts was always an amusing background character but nothing more. Its not until @jparbiter.bsky.social started did he soar.

I love the Shrapnel fiction expanding Ace's background, as far as he claims it occurred in the most interesting way. and how do you draw character art for a character who doesn't really have a clear front on image? Well the latest Ace well Jackie Darwin story had suitable inspiration on how....

#MechTober 26 - Alaric Ward The ilKhan’s preferred ‘Mech is the Savage Wolf. The Third Star League Battle Group force pack includes one prepainted for him since he is too busy trying to hold his precious Star League together to have time for painting miniatures.

#Mechtober day 26 is for Alaric Ward. The less I say about him the better. He does pilot a pretty cool mech though. Savage Wolf/ Mad Cat MK. IV #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

Today is the 26th #Mechtober which makes it Alaric Ward day. The very weird three way genetic child of Victor Steiner Davion, Katherine Steiner Davion and Vlad Ward, Alaric has been captured and been made a bondsman of another mercenary Kerensky before returning to his clan, becoming Khan, moving..

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

#Mechtober continues with… Alaric Ward (sigh). The greatest thing about Alaric is that he is the punchline to the joke I have made that “Everything that happens in #Battletech is Hanse Davions fault.” It took a spheroid to make the ilClan, and it will be a Sphereoid who will destroy the clans

lost interest. I found him insufferable in "Hour of the Wolf" and it feels like no matter how the cards are stacked against him and the Woofs, he somehow throws down 5 of a kind and wins. I look forward to reading about him getting the Devlin Stone treatment.

Day twenty-six of #mechtober #battletech and second day of character week is the ilKhan Alaric Ward. It is a very hard sell to make me care about anything Clan Wolf, and that is no different with the various portrayals of Alaric. But I am excited by the "you won, now what?" concept he is now in.

Today’s #Mechtober is about Alaric Ward , one of my favorite characters in all of battletech . First introduced as an enigmatic low ranking clan wolf warrior , he went on to become arguably the most important character in all of Battletech. When written by Stackpole he’s quite funny too ! <3

Today's #mechtober topic is the queen of #battletech herself, the Black Widow, Natasha Kerensky. Mercenary, misfit, criminal, warrior, leader, incomparable rage-baiter, she struck fear in the hearts of everyone she faced on the battlefield. She died at age 84... in mech combat.

CycKath reposted

#MechTober 25 - Natasha Kerensky While she earned her fame as part of Wolf’s Dragoons, the Black Widow returned to Clan Wolf in the 3050s and rose to Khan. That part of her career is covered in the Blood of Kerensky trilogy and then concludes in Bred for War and I Am Jade Falcon.

#Mechtober today is about Natasha Kerensky , the black widow herself . As a child I wanted to be her . She was one of the coolest most badass characters ever written . Beautiful , deadly and sometimes hilarious got to love the original Queen of battletech . She remains one of my all time favorites

Well it’s Sunday 25th of #Mechtober and today it’s Natasha Kerensky day! If memory serves she was first mentioned in the 2nd Edition boxset (certainly the Dragoons were), but the very first scenario book was devoted to her and her motley crew of trouble makers in 1985’s “Tales of the Black Widow”,

Day twenty-five of #mechtober #battletech and first day of character week is the Black Widow Natasha Kerensky. Most of her Succession Wars name making events occur in sourcebook, its only in fiction that we start seeing her more from Clan prism with Blood of Kerensky series.

So I loved we got "in her prime" appearances in The Grass That Suffers and Chūshingura from "Tales of the Bounty Hunter" if only for her use of made-up words :)

Light mechs are my second-favourite weight class to play in #battletech, after heavy. Fast, agile, and each built for a niche within their tight construction limits, if you field a light mech with purpose it can punch far above its weight. These nimble little guys are the stars of #mechtober today!

#mechtober day 24, lights. Fun chassis. They good. Bluesky has eaten the post FOUR times now. I give up! #battletech #minipainting

Got the painting bug and started working on some #Battletech minis. Support vehicles and elementals for Snowblind, a future Jackie Darwin’s Whipits Centurion from the Draconis reach hotspots, a Marvelous Kontio and animated Series inspired elementals. None finished yet

The Stinger has thin armour, decent speed, and just one main weapons, the med. laser though with a backup machine gun. The exception to lights being fast is the good ol' UrbanMech. Armoured light a lighter medium, the Urbie plods along, even in Land-Air Mech mode. #Mechtober

CycKath reposted

#Mechtober day 24: Light 'Mechs. The speedy SOBs who use movement for defense (with one exception). Outside House Steiner, these are the recon 'Mech to zip in and zip out. My favourite is the Locust, but I don't have a mini of it. The Stinger below is a good representative of the lights.

CycKath reposted

#Mechtober day 24, Light 'Mechs. While mediums may have my heart, when I'm playing to be an annoyance and not to win, lights are my go-to. Speedy (usually) and some can punch pretty far above their weight. #Battletech #Nerdlings

CycKath reposted

#Mechtober #Battletech 10/24 - Light mechs! I tend to prefer the beefier end of lights (30-35t). My absolute favorite: the Raven! (Especially the 4X when playing 3025 era) Followed by the Wolfhound (how can you not love it?) and the Spider! (King of getting objectives and going where it wants 😂)
