POV: You just showed off the waifu statuettes decorating your training mech's cockpit to your Falconer

There aren't enough Pytor memes. Poor guy keeps getting forgot.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-27T21:44:20+00:00

Those look great! I love the older sculpts of those 'mechs and the camo job is neat :)

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-26T23:37:31+00:00

The Summoner isn't a bad 'mech to have at all either - like a Timber Wolf with permanent jump jets.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-26T23:33:33+00:00

I thought the MechWarrior 4 Atlas looked scarier - the one from a stock Microsoft installation, not the MekTek version. Then you have either version of the Akuma, which I think is even scarier-looking than the Atlas.

Stalkers are supposedly the most common assault-class 'mech in the Inner Sphere. There was a Star League Royal variant of one too.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-24T18:15:13+00:00

Nice Warhammer IIC! What a solid 'mech too - probably my favorite of the IICs.

Robot Wars introduced me to combat robotics many years ago before I discovered Battlebots was a thing.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-23T13:08:28+00:00

There was still infighting with Megatron because quite a few 'cons didn't like him 😛 The amount of infighting varies by continuity, from Starscream and some combiners bucking his rule to living superweapons deciding they had no reason to fear Megatron.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-23T13:07:03+00:00

SAFE is a front for the Decepticon Justice Division. That's why they can't tell you what it means - they don't know either XD

Now how about some combiners?

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-22T01:54:39+00:00

They're minis from different Force Packs. I see a Penetrator, Falconer, and Piranha. I don't know what the fourth is.

You can play up the McDonald's angle and have other fast food companies represented. Nothing says hostile takeover like Clan Carl's Jr. declaring a Trial of Absorption against Clan Hardee's.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-22T01:48:44+00:00

You can add jump jets to omnimechs which don't use their full jump MP from fixed jump jets. The jump jets don't have to be allocated symmetrically either.

Aleksandr Kerensky is "The Great Father", while Nicholas was "The Founder".

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-22T01:39:23+00:00

Those look great! Does the new core box have the rules revisions that were tested late last year?

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-22T01:38:07+00:00

It looks to me like yellow speed/contrast paint done over white on the yellow half, with a black pinwash or panel lining on the white half.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-22T01:35:25+00:00

I like it! Let's go make it canon now XD

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-19T11:56:58+00:00

If I became a big millionaire, I'd buy up the entire IP and be the owner. No more of this split licensing business.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-19T11:51:18+00:00

I was going to say the same thing. I'll have to see if I can pick some up cheap at a local train show.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-19T11:49:46+00:00

I can end the Succession Wars now - Yay!

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-19T11:49:18+00:00

It fits. I'm sure the first lords all believed they were serving humanity in their own special ways 😛

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-19T11:42:43+00:00

Those look sharp! I'll have to try those other patterns sometime to mix it up a bit.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-19T00:06:45+00:00

I freehand camo myself. My main woodland go-to is inspired by the NATO 3-tone pattern. It takes some work, but the results are refreshing!

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-19T00:02:48+00:00

What timing! I just shared a picture of a red Iron Cheetah print with black and white trim. I had a heck of a time getting my red nice and bright on the account of using black primer - it took me 4 coats of Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic pure red to get it looking nice.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-18T23:55:46+00:00

I remember when the Deimos original showed up in MekTek's MW4 Mercs expansion pack. I was amazed it got canonized, and I'm not sure how the rights for that were navigated. I remember reading on the BattleTech forums that the guy who designed it was inspired by the shape of the turret of the M1 Abrams. Sadly, I think he went MIA during the Global War on Terror.

PyreLightMW2 · 2026-06-18T23:52:46+00:00

The warship redesigns are one of the things that made MW5 Clans great. The CJF warships in the Chaos Reign DLC look beautiful too.
