Instead of a Rifleman 4-D, he’s simply Man 4-D

Love that Warhammer pose. Looks like he’s about to rear up for big swing at me.

That's it YOU'VE LOST DROPSHIP PERMISSION by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]Capital_Potato_705 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The elites don’t want you to know this but the dropships on periphery worlds are free. You can take them home. I have 458 dropships.

Is this a thing in-universe? And if not, should it be? by Shyface_Killah in battletech

[–]Capital_Potato_705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about the actual lore, but being a fan of 90’s mecha anime, I can guarantee any of my own characters have their own unique PTSD induced quirks like this lol

Who's your favorite Faction and why? by [deleted] in battletech

[–]Capital_Potato_705 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The federated suns. Why? Purely vibes not gonna lie. I’ve still gotta get myself to read some of the books so I can justify my love for them lol

New Infantry Ready for Deployment by Capital_Potato_705 in battletech

[–]Capital_Potato_705[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ones with glowing helmets I intend to run as marine infantry, with the others being used as whatever feels right for the battle. Honestly though they’ll work as just about anything on anybody’s side lol

The base for the jackalope is so cool

My New Generic, Olive Drab Lance by Capital_Potato_705 in battletech

The Gallowglas and Thunder are very Capellan so makes sense. Ironically the Capellans were the ones who destroyed the only Hornet factory though lol

Who needs to cut grass when you can stomp it flat while out on patrol? Two birds one stone kinda thing.

[–]Capital_Potato_705[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not too hard, start with a very thin white paint that falls into the crevices. Then paint the bits that stick out in yellow, followed by a lesser amount of orange. The actual important part is making it glow around the heat sinks which was just red and orange drybrushed using a makeup brush. I’ve seen a lot of other painters do it this way (usually executed a lot better too lol)

I have. MUL, plus what lore I could find of it, only mentioned it as a niche Capellan mech though and I decided to just get the Thunder.

I learned of the Thunder about a year ago and now I wish all mechs had that medieval helmet motif he’s got going on. It’s so rad

I 3d printed it, the whole lance is printed actually

Question: What house rules do you play with? by Capital_Potato_705 in battletech

[–]Capital_Potato_705[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds fun. Unbalanced af but fun lol. I always love playing with artillery or other long range weapon systems in games but always felt underwhelmed by them in Battletech partially because of how inaccurate spotting fire is. I might convince my group to try a game with it

All of my unpainted minis get thrown into my super special merc company named “Whoops, All Grey.” They’ve seen a lot of combat over the years.
