It's always justified to kill enemies of the Dragon such as Davions,, Outworlders, Clanners, Orphans, Lyrans, and Mercenaries.

Jesus, that was a miserable 2 nights of work. I barely got 7 hours of painting time in over 2 nights. That's horseshit.

Anyway, reinforcement Falcons for my existing Delta Galaxy cluster are done. I took this picture and also took it with the phone flipped, so ONE of these goddamn photos will be right side up this time.

Sounds like my last couple of work nights. Managed to get the washwork done on Arkab Legion and Gray Death Legion so they'll be ready for canopy paint once my pigments arrive from Spain, and touchups done on Team Banzai (I want to throat-punch Shimmy for the Battlemaster's cockpit design, that little dividing band has been my nemesis), but I didn't do shit with my Steel Vipers or any of the vehicles from the Mercs kickstarter, just not enough sit-down time for them. Maybe tomorrow night will afford for more substantial time at the desk.

What's your response here

>>94292173
If it's not a canon fit, then we're playing with customs and I'd like to tweak one of mine as well. If you'll agree to that, it's all gravy.

>>94292182
Sounds good, what are you running?

>>94291577
What is the correct mindset to enjoy battletech with? My friend keeps shilling it as gritty, well written space drama but whenever I read the lore it seems like a universe where everyone is a deranged clue sniffer starting wars for petty reasons and thats the fun. I'm leaning towards viewing it like a wacky cartoon, what is the correct way to view the setting and franchise.
>>
>>94292190
RAC-5s on the Nightstar for a giggle. It's more the principle of the thing than any specific strategy.
>>
What Star League mechs do you think deserved a SW downgrade variant but don't canonically have one? I did a 4/6/4 Starslayer, it actually ended up better protected than the OG, though heat management was toasty.
>>
So I want to try using the Kintaro when it comes out, but apparently there aren't a lot of mechs with NARC-cappable LRM/SRM ammo equipped canonically. Is it like other special ammo (Inferno, Precision, etc) that you can freely swap with regular ammo?
Also, what if I want to swap a ton of LBX solid with cluster, or vice versa? Is it free?

>What is the correct mindset to enjoy battletech with

The correct answer is "Semper Gumby". There is no single viewpoint in the setting** that is correct for all games and all players, and never will be. Don't try to find one. Be flexible, run a game that highlights what you like, and then play in a game that highlights what your buddy likes, and do both with good grace.
>**There *are* thematic boundaries in BattleTech that shouldn't be crossed, and if you're in a group with someone who insists on crossing them, you're gonna have a bad time. As a rule, if the other person says they can only enjoy the setting if they have to change a foundational aspect of it, then they are not viewing the setting the correct way.

It costs BV but you don't have to ask your opponent's permission.
>>
>>94291890
>Still have some Goblin Green, even some old Ral Partha paints I've kept alive.
It's been 80 years.hpg

The formulation you're using actually looks close to the old official 90's Jade Falcon paint set.
>>
>>94292349
So I just need to calculate BV and adjust? Cool.

What job lets you do things that aren't work for 1/3rd of the time you're at work? Asking for a friend (me) so I can apply for it.
