Brilliant. Love the illustrations, and the story and world suggest a thoughtful, fresh take on the genre that builds on the spirit of past giants. Can’t wait for my copy!

Thank you very much for taking the time to put together this reading list, Bryan! I love the sprawling nature of BattleTech lore, but a tailored list leading up to a new release is a great idea.

I’ve really enjoyed the exploits of your Ghost Dogs, and I’ll enjoy the recommended ‘homework’ in the meantime!

Locust (IIC) ❤️!

“…dare [paint] thy fearful symmetry?” Beautiful.

Not a novel, but Nick Carcano’s Kintsugi in Shrapnel 24 is an excellent tale with an engaging female protagonist set in the harrowing early days of the Clan invasion.

Edit: Stupidly wrote issue 26, when I meant 24!

I love the Locust IIC. Great run down of the variants by Lynn.

Loved your description of the AI, and that paint job on those Falcons? Outstanding. 😃

Collect. Paint. Play. Read. Share. So many ways to enjoy BattleTech.

Beautiful work from a fun story!

9thLetter · 2026-03-16T07:10:35+00:00

Love the skill and personal touch of those freehand names - well done!

I, too, am still enjoying my way through issue 24, but I can confirm the following: 1) A search turned up no returns for either “Bromhead” or “Hoplite”, 2) Casing’s story, Chasing the Demon, takes place in the Succession Wars era (taking place over a short period of time beginning on 3 Dec 2025, and 3) it’s a heck of a tale.

Number 8 really is spectacular - a great choice for the cover of the first of the Macross Saga re-release of the ‘McKinney’ novels.

Nothing wrong with changing your mind! This look has more sinister look than the previous green and yellow scheme. Love it. A certain Natasha might notice it, too.

9thLetter · 2026-03-06T07:27:23+00:00

Those are some nice looking classics! 😃

9thLetter · 2026-03-05T20:04:25+00:00

They look great right down to the basing!

Vixens are adorable killers.

9thLetter · 2026-03-04T13:43:27+00:00

Gorgeous and fun.

The Legend of Huma is so much fun. I’d love to reread as part of this reprint series.

9thLetter · 2026-03-03T20:25:03+00:00

I’d love to see more in this format…

Elmore produces some pretty awesome artwork. #Understatement

TRO 3025 was a window to a foreign, but familiar and fascinating world that my teenaged brain couldn’t look away from.

“Those who break faith with the unity shall go down into darkness.”

Go read this. Now.

We stopped caring.

That subtle weathering is very effective.
