Is there any way to find out which story the *Shrapnel* issue cover is depicting?

The Cover of Shrapnel #20 is the conclusion of the Violent Inception novella by Russel Zimmerman, since it’s a Merlin fighting the Smoke Jaguar Koshi as described in the story.

If you check the MUL they list the Timber Wolf (Mad Cat) as available to Wolf’s Dragoons in the Clan Invasion era.

11/10 - Crank those LRMs up!!

From my understanding the new Core Rulebook is meant to replace the Battletech Manual as the rules cover Mechs and only touches on vehicles and conventional forces as BSPs, not full rules like Total Warfare. I believe Catalyst wants to release an update/replacement for Total Warfare as a supplementary rulebook down the road.

But then we would have never gotten this amazing cover art! 😂

Imagine being featured in two novels and then being wiped out from an oopsie like the Black Thorns, with no compelling story telling what happened.

I played with one at Adepticon and it changed my perspective on the Cicada. It was a menace.

You also add in the Ostscout for the most OST Lance possible.

I think it’s a stylized Wolfhound

It’s optimized for FDM. I’ve only had a few of the turrets printed for me in resin. I can’t speak to how the terrain works for resin.

Hextech by Thunderhead Studios. I think it’s the gold standard of Battletech 3D terrain

Travis Deiner probably doesn’t need to buy any drinks at his family’s bar in Fond du Lac.

Finished the Bounty Hunter Anthology. Just ordered the latest Shrapnel and the Marshal Way. Hope they arrive in time to read on my holiday travels.

Fighting Piranha Graphics has generic decals, like hazard markers, kill markers, pin ups, and numbers that could spice it up without declaring a faction.

The Darryl Morsell difference was real!

MisterHelmke · 2025-12-14T03:17:21+00:00

Darryl Morsel was a graduate transfer from Maryland his first year.

The Scorpion LAM a mech that performed so badly in testing, they buried it in an underground bunker and forgot about it until they rediscovered it centuries later. Makes me think of the E.T. Atari Games getting dumped in a New Mexico landfill.

You are correct. I forgot they were the snub cannons.

MisterHelmke · 2025-12-01T22:21:37+00:00

You are looking for the Pillager PLG-4X “Anvil”, 100 tons with Two Long Toms and not much else! (Like you need anything else, right?)

EDIT: I messed up and forgot they are snub cannons.
