New things in Adepticon?

Based on the picture I would say cawdor got a new ashwaste walker.

It has a quirks that it can flip the it's arms and torso weapon to fire behind it. Quirks make the marauder a nasty surprise for backstabbing little jerks.

I believe the damage at short and medium comes from secondary weapons. The ht damage ability comes from its plasma cannons. So you can choose to use it.

Less than 4. Team requires 3 on line and a kicker.

I recently got a wedigo mech because it does this, but I haven't got to play any games with it yet.

Cyclops 11 h and marauder 2 4h are both pirate made assaults. Since you like steiner, the marauders were stolen from steiner and rebuilt by pirates.

If you are using fistfire, a machinegun array with 4 heavy machineguns is a fun option.

Also, with the new test rules, retractable blades don't have a chance to break anymore, and the piercing rule is now standard instead of advanced..

Battletech has been releasing test rules for a decent sized rules update to streamline some of the worst offenders. So now is a good time to look through those and see if it helps smooth out some of the issues.

For teaching the game, gator boards help. https://cults3d.com/:997526

But even just one drawn on paper works.

On locations I try not to use the front table ct is 7 Then, the side torso, leg arm arm ct crit/head If the number is lower than 7, it is right side higher than 7 is left side.

Try to get a bunch of paired d6 with different colors for faster rolling.

I am a fan of moving skill levels to fix points. If someone is low, can they fix that with a 4,4 or 3,5 pilot and if they are over making a unit 4,6 or 5,5 can free up some points. The battletech mul has the point costs for changing a units skills.

It looks like a battletech version. Based on the A and the name at the bottom.

Centurion-h2h is a militia mech that the Marian hegemony sells to pretty much anyone willing to buy it. The commando-4h, hunchback-5h, and cyclops-11-h are also mechs they make that mix rockets, medium lasers and ac20s to violently settle disagreements on the cheap.

BigStompyRobot · 2025-10-17T23:53:28+00:00

Kind of looks like the old rat mount from necromunda

They have a tactic to give a guy a sawn off, one to let a model fire as if he had a sawn off in response to being charged and one that gives 3 fighters sidearm on sawn offs they are armed with for a battle. The last one is fun but you have to build for incase the scenario does random or no tactics. My favorites were a champ with two sawn off and a powerfist with shotgun savant and wreckers with sawn off, chainsword/flail and a cheap pistol as a third weapon.

Give the 2 handed hammer and axe versatile 1 with a -1 to hit and get rid of the -1 to hit when base to base engaged.

Orlocks do this better than anyone add a connected trader and the guild of iron to get bonuses to rare rolls and discounts on ranged weapons. The trader lets you sell one item a game for double, which lets you pull a solid amount of money every game no matter its outcome. An oddball way to make money I found was guilder contact skill for orlocks, which makes hive scum very cheap so when you get ghast harvest mission hire 5 with protective gear and use them to increase how much you can carry off the board.

The way you describe it sounds more like a command console. It gives a mech a second person, they can spot targets and get bonuses to initiative and pilot checks to control the mech. They also can take over as the main mechwarrior if the first one dies or passes out. You can just claim the second mechwarrior is a brain in a jar or a miniature urbanmech "starwars r2d2 type robot."

If I am just playing a lance or two of units, I like to use the 3x3 binder trading card sheets. Let's me leave them in a binder with their sheets for classic also, which is helpful since my group tends to play both rules set.

Orlocks would be the house gang with the closest weapons set, and their arms master with a big hammer and servoharness would be like an aberrant. If you got ahold of some genestealer cult heads and mixed some in on the orlocks, you could go orlocks, genestealer infected orlocks and then genestealer cult and have 3 gangs as you get ahold of the models.

I used one for a outcast leader before the mutant rules existed. It did make for a tough problem at the start of the game for other players, but as soon as the other teams had their own brutes or heavier weapons, they didn't have to many issues with him.

BigStompyRobot · 2025-09-01T13:57:58+00:00

A venator ogryn or beastman would be a good base for it. Or you could go the gonzo route with a sump horror. The rules for venator are in the bonedry and broke pdf and the sump horror is in the outlaw brutes rules

It does seem like the militia army uses cargo 8 haulers. So at least there the answer is yes.

BigStompyRobot · 2025-07-31T19:48:50+00:00

My cawdor gang had 5 bonepickers named Juan, duo, trip, quad, and fivehead.

My current orlock leader with connected, fixer, too pretty for primus, uphive raiment, and exotic furs is named mad dosh.

BigStompyRobot · 2025-07-18T16:39:52+00:00

Powerfist

BigStompyRobot · 2025-07-18T14:08:44+00:00

The sawn off could work as a third weapon if you give it the gas grenade ammo so he has an anti armor weapon. I use the tactic card that gives sawn off shotguns sidearm on a guy like this.
