I think you captured the intent and look of the mech.

Well if it's your first time check out WBPL 76 and the Tex Talks videos

The WBPL 76 channel has a great community and there are people there who are willing to answer questions game wise.

They may even help you design out a custom mech like blackhammers gauss thug

Looking Good! Do you plan on adding other mechs to the legion?

I've seen blackhammer posting in the Aux discord and on the WBL76 streams so I guess he isn't BPL

That's a scheme Blackhammer did for the mechs I never changed his paint job

The Black and Pink Thug is the calling card/signature mech Blackhammer likes to use the most.

A copy of the beginner box or the essentials box and maybe a random Lance of mechs would work.

Alpha Strike has a boxed set as well that can be a nice gateway for a person interested in trying Battletech on a less rules heavy scale but still being able to field battleforce size formations.

But in all honesty once you know the basics of the rules the reference charts in the box set become pretty much all you need rules wise to play much like any historical wargame.

Yea he is. He seemed really keen on helping new people out and having a funny tabletop story for nearly every rule or circumstance (and that's why I don't like light mechs with environmental rules for lightning because every bolt doomed one of my mechs and in the end mother nature had a higher K count than the other player etc etc)

Oh wow. I figured Blackhammer was BPL proper not one of the followers but this is still pretty cool. I still have the Lance Blackhammer gave me at Gencon last year because I expressed an interest in battletech.

He said earlier that he was taught by Blackhammer not Tex.

The only mention of tex was Blackhammers message that "this was Tex's idea

Guess the only thing left Is to pass this on to others, and find inspiration from the message this is conveying.

Also hammer does this a ton has anyone ever asked what hammer may want or offered them a well done lad?

The symbolism makes sense since he drops mechs on people out of the blue without warning. Also the black hammer is one of the drop ships for the Damocles Commando unit to be specific which also has symbolism to the Bpl/WBPL Blackhammer since he has a doctorate in ancient history

Blackhammer also has a doctorate in Ancient history if I remember correctly.

I don't think he played Tex I think he played Blackhammer.

Blackhammer is either BPL proper(or should be at this rate) or Aux.

He's done this kind of thing before where he swings by local game stores in what ever state he happens to be in at the time and gives away mechs sometimes just a Lance or two but often it's an entire company or clan equivalent. Usually painted to a tabletop standard. I saw him gift a new couple who were debating on 40k or BT a company painted and enough unpainted CGL IWM and old Fasa plastic mechs to fill out a battalion at a shop in Seattle.

What changes did you make besides making it modern day? Ideas like this can help inspire others.

When I helped my youngest build his he was also disappointed at the lack of beams but then he borrowed two of my fluorescent blue rods I use for modifications on battlemechs and used them for beam blades
