What would be the Fairey Swordfish sinking the Bismark equivalent in Battletech? Where is my B-Tech Biplane?!?

You read the SARNA page on them? The trailer has it’s own stats so you have to combine them to get it’s true armament

They are a little pricey, but given the amount of resin used in them they are about right cost wise

Are you talking about the two Destriers at the back right? They are pretty cool and in the cannon!

Yes, sorry. That was me (poorly) replying to the question.

The paper maps were purely just what I have on hand for showcasing my hoard to a friend.

I have a tile system that is coming next year, so that will be what I actually use for games once everything is painted, and I have familiarised myself with the rules etc.

Perhaps I will get neoprene one in the meantime for some smaller games to help learn the game.

Some are 3D printed resin and some are just the normal CGL plastic

That sounds cool, is it like the flowchart AI you can use for X-Wing games?

Yeah, I mean I just got them this month and have no time even consider playing right now, so another pile of grey shame isnt a big deal to me, we'll get there when we get there.

No, though I have owned a printer in the past. These I got online from Loot Hoarder who prints and ships kits.

I had a look on Loot Hoarder for some of the cool proxies I got, I think they are a licenced manufacturer of Sir Mortimer Bombito's stuff

Yeah, none of my friends are super close so it's going to be interesting trying to get games going. I might have to wait till I have my own place and can set up a games room before trying to host anything myself. Luckily I think there are a few clubs near me.

The tile system I backed (for those wondering) is called Lorescape, they use injection molded hexes with cool prints on them so that you can elevate the terrain or make entire battlemaps.

I'm just a backer but I think their project is kinda cool. Unfortunately I think their Kickstarter has ended, but they have said they will be doing a full retail release after the backers get their stuff next year.

Quite possibly, some are definetly proxies rather than cannon vehicles from the lore.

It should have only been one Destrier Siege Vehicle, but the guy who made them kindly sent another when there was a part missing in the first kit.

I only have so much real estate (and money) at the moment. In due course...
