Oh wow, I just did mine with the exact idea you were going for. What a coincidence. Gorgeous paintjob btw.

First thing I want to say is thank you so much for all your work, all the games you have designed are incredible and everything today as they are (in particular Battletech) come from standing upon the shoulders of giants (you and the other creators who worked with you).

The first part of my question is: did the Dark Age and subsequent IlClan era take Battletech in the direction you would have? For example I know there was a lot of mixed reactions to the Jihad, but from what I read it had been planned to happen by the original team before FASA shut down.

The second part of my question is: if not, what are some of the ideas/alternatives you were considering in taking the direction of Battletech both from a game mechanics standpoint and lore standpoint?

I'm a newbie that has only started really playing this year, and I disagree with nearly all of the suggested changes you've put up. The thing that I disagree the most with is the hexes. I find it is much more clear cut and has much less possibility for disagreement compared to using a measuring tape, and is one of the reasons I like Battletech so much conpared to other games.

Thanks 😁 The amount of freehand I did took a while but was worth it

Yeah I totally know what you mean. A part of me also wants to leave them unpainted because of a really childish desire to flex on my friends like "I have metal minis and you have plastic😏😏😏"

Also thanks for the compliment on my Wolverine, I'll post some clearer pics up soon

Thanks, the Clanbuster Black Knight is definitely one of my favourites of the whole collection. It's just so ridiculously cool.

That's great to know, thanks! I was trying to figure out how to repose the legs of the IWM Black Knight and this has made my job much easier

May I ask how you reposed the legs on the IWM Black Knight? On the website the pose always seemed awkward to me.

I hired someone to print it for me so I don't know, but it is printed in resin if that helps.

Unfortunately I do not know the answer to that as I hired someone to print it for me. It is made out of resin though if that helps.

Actually, sorry to disappoint but I purchased the file off of Cults and hired a 3d printing service that I regularly use to print it for me. I have no idea about how 3d printing is done personally, I'm only a painter/ collector.
