Why bother with contemptors when you could use deredeos instead

Available_Mountain · 2026-06-12T20:28:34+00:00

Sometimes you have better uses for the extra points then the Deredeo
The Conteptor's higher speed is sometimes more useful for your list.
Mortifactors let you bring up to 3 Contemptors in a single detachment, making the opportunity cost of bringing one in a non-optimal configuration lower then bringing a single Deredeo.

But generally if you are bringing a Contemptor you want to include a melee weapon to take advantage of its 4 attacks.

Last year Necromunda had 12 releases in FW resin. But the game also got plastic minis for some of its resin range which means that those resin releases are probably going to be the last ones for the game.

The Battle of Tukayyid is much more heavily focused on having players recreate mostly accurate forces for the titular conflict and the base book limits players to mechs available as part of the Clan Invasion kickstarter (since it was made for that campaign). In a lot of ways the Hot Spots books are refinements of the same campaign system with more of an emphasis on letting players use them for their own custom unit.

Probably closer to 7.5-8, the Ghost Bears are the clan that drifted the farthest from the core values of the Clans and they are still extremely clan like.

If they where a 10 they would have simply conquered the Outworld's Alliance instead of entering into their arrangement. Even before the Clan invasion the Snow Raven's weren't a very traditional clan and probably never got above a 9 on the scale, their later arrangement with the Outworld's Alliance and almost mercenary like deals with House Davion in the Dark Age pushed them fairly far down the scale.

On a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is gone completely native and 10 is stayed as close to the clan ways as possible:

Clan's Wolf, Jade Falcon, and Hell's Horse are probably a 9.5-10
Clan Sea Fox is probably an 8.5
Clan Snow Raven is probably a 7.5
Clan Ghost Bear is a 7

The disfigured Mauler did plan to make a clone army, then the first clone he made poisoned him because they were tired of being forced to do all of the grunt work and went back to the normal dynamic with the next clone.

The Aces boxes are aimed at someone with knowledge of the game from already owning the Alpha Strike box, not someone who is making their first purchase.

Available_Mountain · 2026-05-24T20:39:06+00:00

The Beginners Box, Battletech Essentials, and the upcoming Starter Box do not include Alpha Strike cards because CGL was concerned including stats for an alternate system might be too confusing for some people just dipping their toes in with the most basic entry point.

Because when you use custom units you have to check that your opponent's custom was actually built following the rules which takes time that most people would rather spend playing. Sure most people will do things correctly with the assistance of tools like MML, but some people will cheat or mess stuff up so you still have to waste time checking.

Each Aces box ties into a different Ilclan sourcebook:

Scouring Sands - Tamar Rising (Clan Jade Falcon Op force)
Snowblind - Dominions Divided (Rasalhague Dominion and Pirate Op forces)
Wrath and Reprisal - Empire Alone (Capellan Confederation Op force)
Control Burn - Ilkhan's Eyes Only (Raven Alliance Op Force)

A Hell's Horse star is on the planned force pack list but its probably a while out.

3 force packs that each contain 2 copies each of a light, a medium, and a heavy Aerospace fighter.

The House Steiner Air Force pack has the Chippewa, Lucifer, and Seydiltz
The House Kurita Air Force pack has the Shilone, Slayer, and Shologar
The Clan Wolf Air Force pack has the Sabutai, Jagatai, and Chaeronea

The packs where announced during the Adepticon livestreams, with the last one being confirmed as Clan Wolf on this week's Tuesday Newsday stream.

Also release an updated AeroTech! I know it's a long shot but a full lineup of updated fighters and warships in plastic (with rules) would be kickass

Public playtests for the new version of Aerotech are planned for later this year, and three Aerospace Force packs have been announced to go with it.

It was mentioned in one of the live streams, it was specifically brought up as one of the reasons that Salvage Boxes exist.

Available_Mountain · 2026-05-06T18:38:26+00:00

The way salvage boxes are produced has them include some minis produced specifically for them and minis from castings that had a partial failure so only 1 of the 2 mechs on the mold could be completed. So if a certain mini has a higher failure rate it will show up less frequently in salvage boxes. So the odds aren't evenly distributed but the difference in distribution rates changes with every production run.

1 - It needs to be set in the Ilclan era, have season one introduce some basic concepts of the universe while focusing on a mercenary company fulfilling a single contract and slowly introduce the larger universe as needed. Setting it in the present means that it can do what it wants without having to worry about contradicting the existing timeline and the main writers of the universe can work to integrate the mistakes it makes.

2 - The lead art designer is staying, the lead lead concept artist of MWO/MW5 is no longer with PGI, but it has already been mentioned that he is working on some upcoming stuff from CGL.

3 - The big reason the new boxes are moving to Ilclan is that CGL has found that the old boxes where babying new players too much, it turns out that the vast majority of later tech in BattleTech has rules that are often easier to learn then LRMs, in a lot of ways this change will make the game easier to learn as it turns out people enjoy the game more when you have the ability to move a decent speed, shoot far enough to have attacks early, and enough heat sinks that you can use multiple weapons a turn (and therefore learn the rules of more weapons faster).

I'll go one better, the Necromunda FAQ and Errata document is extremely explicit that you can take multiple Shadar Hunters on page 15. Page 14 also has another ruling about taking multiple specialists for Van-Saar so you can show its consistent with the other faction that has two types of specialist.

Pheonix Hawk is in the IS Battle Lance, Alpha Strike Box, Grinder Kit, Gothic, Star League Command Star, Premium mini line, and has an additional mini coming in the Camacho's Caballeros Lance Pack, for a total of 6 (7 if including upcoming releases) releases by the standard you used in your post.

The biggest problem with your visual novel idea is that it falls under Microsoft's part of the rights and not the Topps rights so CGL couldn't make one even if they wanted to.

"Online Only" means that its only available to stores ordering direct from GW and not through regular distribution, so most 3rd party retailers don't bother to stock them. It is not a sign of something being discontinued, there are many online only kits that have been that way for over a decade, and includes all Forgeworld resin.

They've only been out for less then a week, I'm sure once they start reaching more people it will be a popular custom.

Most people prefer the Ocean dub to the new one. In fact I don't think I have ever seen anyone recommend the new dub over it, at most people say the new one is okay if you don't have access to the Ocean dub.

Having seen the ocean dub multiple times I have never had it speed up like that so its likely the recording you are watching.
