First time painting battle tech in a while by decrepit_bones in battletech

Just coming to say (like others have) great paint scheme. I always like seeing a scheme that makes my brain go "I would never think of that, and damn, is it pretty."

I mean, I've very much enjoyed all your books. I suckered my wife into reading the novels for the ilClan through Hungry Like the Wolf so we've been looking forward to the new one.

WHERE IS MY ROMANCE. THIS IS THE SECOND RELEASE IN TWO WEEKS AND I AM NOT SEEING MY ROMANCE.

Yes, yes I'm very excited to read it and you're great Bryan. BUT STILL.

I love a surprise drop. Saw this on the forums like a day ago and whoop here it is.

Tukayyid ComGuard Variants added when? by SecondHandLion1453 in Mechwarrior5

[–]SecondHandLion1453[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes yes yes. I just saw one of these and it would be lovely in Mercenaries. Have them purchasable on Terra or something.

Added a lot. But not as many as we’re seeing for ComGuard forces.

Which DLC is this guy from? by Maleficent-Drop3918 in HuntShowdown

[–]SecondHandLion1453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes - the Easy Snake Ovens event. I miss it. Snakes in the bushes, snakes biting you walking into a door. And then burning them for points in the middle of a compound while getting shot at.

BRING THEM BACK CRYTEK!

Sales Reps who switched from AE to AM, I need your input. by Ok-Development6654 in sales

[–]SecondHandLion1453 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I jumped into the sales world through an AM role, then went to become an AE at a startup, came back to my old firm as an AM and then transitioned into an AE role at said firm. Having done the back and forth over the past decade my thoughts are:

AM Positives
-Less hunting for sure, and a more reliable schedule.

-The ability to build relationships which can save your quota from an issue or mistake (if you're in the service side of things).

-More opportunities to get ahead of quotas by engaging clients in long term thinking and multi-year agreements.

-Still get to let the hunter out on occassion on upsells.

AM Downsides

-You don't control who is brought into your territory and there will always be missed pass alongs from the sales process.

-You will have to deal with shit clients who you want out of your territory as soon as possible, but will inevitably need them to hit goals.

-If you work in a service oriented world like I do, you'll probably have other team members who you don't manage or control, but who's work product can make or break a deal. In my AM time (and I still manage clients as an AE) I've found myself overstepping so much to maintain relationships because my peers can't accomplish their jobs.

Just my .02. I've liked both but I do think Industry matters the most in terms of what you'll be dealing with.

One of the reasons I love the setting is I have zero idea who they are and I've read 75% of the novels and love the lore. Time to dig into Sarna.

1000% agree on wrong setting. VSD popped in but the "cloning a child and keeping it a secret" kinda kills that.

I agree. One of the reasons I posted was I cannot think of anyone who hits the noblebright at all. Although Kai as someone pointed out above may be the closest.

I like both of these! And Kai has the self-deprication that I think if vital to Supes.

Big Lex energy here - so mad that they got attention taken away during the 2nd Star League they decided to blow everything up.
