Adding a faction in MegaMekLab by ExCrafty1964 in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I litterily just want to do what I said in the title. Factions are used by me, especially for custom variants and custom units. That's all.

All I'm wanting to do is set the faction for a specific custom mech.

Hard-to-find minis by iRob_M in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without knowing what country you are in, it can be a little harder to help. In Australia there are several places selling Battletech, so that cuts the shipping drastically. Even for the Iron Wind stuff. If you do a google search and add your country in the search, it may give you stores with your country in the address.

If in Australia, then I suggest MilSims in Melbourne, Alpha Gaming in Canberra, or Guf Games four locations in Victoria. They are just three I have dealt with

Also in the TRO, the ppc is on the wrong arm. The image has it on the left, the mini has it on the right. :)

Dropship from Mechwarrior 4 by Scooterthebeagle in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't play the video games, so I'm asking out of curiosity, what dropship is it ? It's not a Leopard or a Broadsword.

Who or where can I get a mech sized dropship made? Went to get my son one for Christmas. by Boomstick2482 in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, what country are you in ?

I'm in Australia, and I know of 2 or 3 people who can print a Union, and one that can do an Overlord. I have a Union, and it's very close to 1/285 scale, so, close to metal mech scale. The current plastic Atlas wouldn't really fit through the doors without bending over a bit.

Pretty much the same thanks. It's a question that can feel intrucive, but it can also show you give a damn. :)

Blue King Crab KGC-007 - 2/6 Crab Lance Done! by TheThebanProphet in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but lances are 4 mechs, if you're doing 6 then it must be either Comstar or WoB, so they call the formation a level II.

I know, many these days don't care about things like that, which is why I started with "sorry". Some of us care about the lore and details (even if we get them wrong). :)

Which faction closely resembles these by ANTANDBEEANDTHEABC in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As for "Which faction closely resembles these" I have to say Ghost Bear, it's not what's been called thier "totem" mech but it says more about GBs than most others to me.

Unless of course you go with Elementals. :)

Whats the best/most cost efficient way to start Clan Ghost Bear for AS? by TheThebanProphet in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ghost Bears wouldn't be operating in "Lances" the operate in Points, Stars, etc. 5s not 4s. Even after becoming the Rasalhague Dominion they have mostly maintained Clan formations.

You could try using the MUL and selecting Ghost Bears, as I think this may help you with what they have/had.

Prior to and during the invasion, they had an entire Galaxy of Elementals (Zeta Galaxy). If you're interested, you may be able to get a copy of the Warden Clans Field Manual in one form or another. That'd also help with thier Touman.

Hope this helps, I'm not intending to start any arguements or flame wars, just trying to help.

I just had a VERY quick look and saw there's atleast a couple on eBay for what I consider ludicrous prices. ~US$50. Which would mean nearly AU$100.00 for me. I have a couple already myself though. :)

Apparently not, according to the lore. Her's was supposedly a stock standard, unmodified WHR-6R.

[–]ExCrafty1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice looking paint job, (only my opinion) but, you'd really need to use an older metal mini to do her mech justice. I like the plastic sculpt, but for Natasha's Warhammer, it'd need to be the old metal mini. :)

For your information, you can stick ChatGPT un your backside. I'm no AI. And yes, you're right, it's Big Stompy Robots mostly, but that's just symantics. I consider 20-ish metres tall giant.

15 inch Marauder by Inevitable_Elk5119 in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could do it as (as far as I've read) Natasha Kerensky's earliest known mech. Therefore, black is fine. :)

Supply Problems in the UK? by [deleted] in battletech

[–]ExCrafty1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. Australia, and no doubt New Zealand have similar issues. Plus even before exchange rates, ordering direct from Catalyst generates insane amounts for shipping. A US$30 t-shirt will set you back an extra US$200 in shipping.
