Catalyst Game Labs has started delivering Mercenaries, the latest expansion for Battletech A Game of Armored Combat. Introducing tanks, VTOLS, and other vehicles, this set introduces plastic vehicles miniatures for the first time.

I take a look at some of the items from this Kickstarter and discuss how some of the new additions will fit into your games of Battletech. Also, I'm thrilled with the First Sommerset Strikers Box Set.

Calling a pillager a b tier, is a hot take that makes a nova pilot blush 😅

FINALLY! I can build my 16 Savanna Master list! [ME ONE WEEK LATER] Hey, why doesn't anyone at the game store want to talk to me anymore?

Thanks for the awesome video! I think yours is the very first to show the Somerset Strikers pack. I can't wait to open mine. Little known fact: at the time of the original cartoon the only officially produced product from the cartoon that was made for use in the game at the same scale as mech minis was a series of buildings including the mech bay from Somerset university. They didn't make ANYTHING else from the cartoon to be used for the tabletop game. I have all 4 of the buildings they made and can't wait to get the Strikers pack to go with them!

Cool video. Thanks for showing off your swag. The Marauder t-shirt is actually the thing I'm most excited about in the Kickstarter as well. Cheers!

Let's hope that the minis from this kickstarter will be released as retail. We already have enough companies that make cool plastic dudes as limited offers.

Fully agree on the Cicada. I don't know how I failed to see the summerset striker box option during the KS.

Very cool! I missed out on the KS having just got into BattleTech in the past 6 months 😔 If you're not attached to that Pillager I'd love to buy it from you, will happily paint it up for my Canopus Merc company ❤

I want to address the Cicada. While the stock version from 3025 is not a good mech, it's not a contender for "worst mech ever" the way that the Urbanmech and Charger are. And once it gets to 3050 and Star League tech becomes available, there's a proliferation of fairly good Cicada variants, though most of them aren't terribly common due to being primarily limited to the Free Worlds League.

I'd sure like mine to arrive.

Painting your museum scale TimberWolf in Kell hounds colors is lore accurate. After Wolf In Exile set up base on Arc Royal the Kell’s were well equipped by the Wolves with clan tech.
