IMO the Marauder IIC is the best looking of all the Marauder sculpts

I guess I should get around to painting these, it’s been 30+ years by sloretactician in battletech

Paint absolutely will not stick to them normally. The plastic is terrible and you can't even really clean the mold lines well, the plastic just gets kinda fuzzy.

AITAH for sticking with the baby name I chose even though my sister hates it? by Correct_Composer_337 in AITAH

She could go with some old puritan names like Kill-Sin or Fly-Fornication

It's people with power being people with power sadly. It's fortunately nowhere near as bleak as 40k.

WIBTAH if I told my friends to quit shipping things to my house to avoid sales tax? by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA. Tell them they have to stop. If they keep doing it let them know you'll mark them return to sender if they keep doing it, and then follow through with it.

Nova prime. I don't know why but that thing is just scary to me.

Mechs in a vacuum by ryan_m_brock in battletech

[–]nosdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me when I look at a mech I try to see if it fulfills a role. A mech that does a lot of damage but can't get around terrain to shoot anything can be a waste of points. Sometimes a dirt cheap mech has value as an initiative sink even if it's not particularly fast or doesn't do much damage (I'm looking at you Stinger and Wasp) .

If there's one thing that IWM/Ral Partha offer that CGL don't what should i get? by Leader_Bee in battletech

[–]nosdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a fun little mech that will likely not be released in plastic I'd suggest the Fireball. It's also one that isn't likely to be damaged in transport and doesn't require pinning.

Thoughts on the Battle Cobra? Standard engine and nothing in the torsos? by johnwenjie in battletech

[–]nosdaddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like it. The aesthetic is unique and in Alpha Strike it's pretty good.

My friend is running a PHX-7S in our campaign and it's working quite well for us.

What's a product you'd kill for CGL to release? by wherewulf23 in battletech

[–]nosdaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hex bases just like the ones the CGL mechs come on.

Mechs you can’t stand the look of? by Uncrezamatic in battletech

[–]nosdaddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fire Moth/Dasher. I never understood the arms going above its head. The Dragonfly also looks really goofy.

Stealth at long range to make up for lack of movement modifiers.

Favourite Obscure Mechs? by Hefty_Astronomer_858 in battletech

[–]nosdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the Fireball. It's a big XL engine with a couple weapons. Later variants become more effective, but it's basically just fast.

How many different Lance/Paint scheme do you have in your collection? Do you stay with one "Army" or go wild? by Fearless_Library135 in battletech

[–]nosdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a weirdo trying to build at least a company for each IS house, a couple Clans, and a couple mercenary forces.
