#mechtober not over! There's still the rest of the trinary. This is a Koshi, a Dark Age era revision of the Myst Lynx that makes a great solahma mech. 4 SRM4s and a second ton of ammo to make room for infernos, acid, or whatever else you might need? Based. Love this thing. #battletech

Hello #mechtober Would you like more #battletech? I have been spreading the love today. I love the Stinger IIC. All the concepts of a Stinger, with enough firepower to force a PSR, at the low low cost of exploding the pilot into goo if you sneeze the wrong way. Die with honor or die trying.

#Mechtober continues with the Phantom E, one of the best elemental carriers in all of #battletech. Durable, fast, and bringing a mean amount of point-blank firepower, it fits the needs of the 9th Raven Solahma perfectly: die with honor or die trying.

I thought I was gonna have to take some more pictures before we do more #mechtober goodness, but I was wrong. The Dark Crow 3 is an interesting Snow Raven 'mech, designed for near-space operations, complete with an RCS tank. Ferro-lamellor and 8 jump? I'm glad we cured cancer by 3154... #battletech

Americans. Election interference isn't going to beat voter turnout. It didn't in 2020 and it won't now. As someone who saw what happened in Argentina, you're a few years away from checkpoint kidnappings and mass poverty. Start turning it around. GO VOTE.

#Mechtober continues with more of the 9th Raven Solahma. You really can't play this kind of unga bunga without a Locust IIC, now can you? 8 ER smalls can make any assault mech sweat over the upcoming laser ass surgery. So get your scalpels out. #battletech

Okay, another #mechtober, introducing Mechwarrior Jimothy. There's really only one name you can give the Howler, in this case the Howler 2 with a bunch of ATMs. Jimothy is still a somewhat credible backstab threat, or an initiative sink and denier of hexes. #battletech

Sorry for the #mechtober delays. Life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately. Hey, why do I hear boss music? God I love the Stormcrow B. Good for an 86 damage alpha strike, she managed to do a solid 106 damage last night. The game ended on turn 3, with her on 49 heat. #battletech

More #mechtober with the 9th Raven Solahma. The Night Hawk by Mountain Wolf BattleMechs is a bit of an unusual sight, but well loved by warriors of the Raven Alliance. Durable, effective, and affordable for the Periphery state lends well it to use in garrison and solahma forces. #Battletech

More today for #mechtober, a Saturday double feature! WE HAVE A NEW CHAPTER, You Uplift Me is resuming. For those who don't know, this is an ongoing work of mine about a wholesome romance between a Com Guard adept and a militia officer. archiveofourown.org/works/878337... Enjoy.

Beginning #mechtober talking about my love for Classic BT and painting up the last of my Raven Alliance Beta Galaxy trinary, at least the mechs. I plan on expanding the mercenary attaché as well as adding a battle armor and vehicle support star. Why? I have no idea, these aren't Nova Cats!

I have received multiple threat risk assessments about #votesafe.org today. This is a dangerous site that if you're dumb enough to open on an insecure browser may compromise your computer. It is also collecting personal data so that your voting preferences can be "adjusted". Be safe out there.

Got a new player into #battletech today. I love how this game ends up grabbing people, the detail and the tactical depth combined with the hilarious moments. The game ended with the last two mechs on the ground - but mine not getting back up. Good fight. <3

Ray is a good hearted young man with a habit of selling himself WAY short, and despite being a bit over the top, he's actually the best MechWarrior in the company. John wants to see the kid do well, and knows he could earn a berth with a real outfit like the Kell Hounds any day now.

Alright, thank you Troublemaker Games - my Count Binface miniature has arrived in time for Bin Day. Time to get it painted up by Thursday - but there's also going to be a second special addition to this plan. Watch this space tomorrow and Thursday. #votebinface #battletech ?

So GW declared war on everyone again. I'd just like to remind all the #tabletopsimulator #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammer refugees that #battletech is much more open and friendly about minis, virtual tabletops, and everything else GW keeps spitting in your face. Come check it out!

Alright. One more, and it's a big one. #battletech #pridemechs this is my trans flag entry for the year, because I'm sure a few of you were wondering why I didn't post one yet. It's because I had to make a few last minute changes to the plan on this one. It wasn't angry enough. #pride2026

Finished up the #battletech pride docket, just basing the last 3 and topcoating this morning. Which means it's time for BONUS CONTENT! What mech, combat vehicle, or BA unit do you feel should get a trans flag from the moogle this year? I will paint the most inspiring idea I get.

I told you #PrideMechs were coming, and the Labrys Axman of 2023 has finally gotten a lancemate. The Labrys flag debuted in 1999, with a white axe on a black triangle, in a purple field. I started this one just before we got the official Scarabus release, which overall I prefer. #Battletech

One more quick #Battletech post I didn't get out before the end of May. Sorry for being SLIGHTLY less pride themed (though only slightly, it is the Neon Cats). I have no idea in what lore reason anyone would willingly use a Hatchetman, but here it is! Must have been in the box we stole.

I realized in my last #Battletech post I referenced a story I hadn't actually posted here. Here's the intro to John B Smokin's Timber Company. It's turning into a mix of 80s Canadiana and irreverant Battletech comedy. More to come. Enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/85047111

John B and the gang had to find some way to spend all those C-Bills from the Gone in 60 Minutes heist! Here's one of the spoils, a brand new Javelin 12N, piloted by John. So what if he's never checked out in anything that goes over 32kph? (Story coming) #Battletech #miniatures #mecha
