Has anyone ever painted up a Stone's Coalition force? It sounds like a pretty kino project.

i will never forgive them for retconning thanatos and argus into NOT being is omnis

>>97907564
the who and the what?

the fedcom and VSD went and killed a whole entire clan, that was the last thing that 'happened'. nothing has happened at all since.

now its some 'ilclan era' with a very different IS no one knows how or why, because what little is 'known' is clearly retarded lies and propaganda so clearly never happened.

The Ares and Poseidon are the BT version of Imperator Titans and therefore based kino kingshit.

I agree, those mechs would have been so much more interesting as omnis. Stiletto is also in that bracket. The Lyran Alliance field manual did suggest it was getting reworked into an omni and then they retconned all mention of that.

Hello again lads, I’m posting to ask for help.
Working on some Delta Galaxy Wolves for a scenario about Devlin Stone’s Coalition retaking Hesperus II from the Blakists. I’m writing character background for the MechWarriors to help the player's immersion. For the Wolf’s Star Commander, my idea is he became a ristar a few months earlier when Delta was fighting alongside Beta Galaxy of Clan Wolf-in-Exile defending Skye from Blakist invasion. I want him to have fought a Trial of Grievance against some CW-I-E Warriors but am not sure over what exactly.

>>97907564
As per my post right above, I’m working on Delta Galaxy on Hesperus in 3074. This could expand to Stone’s Lament forces but in all honesty estate I’d rather not try to paint the cringey bone scheme.

>>97907691
Perhaps the ToG was over who had total command of military Clan forces on Skye? Neither CW nor CW-I-E wanted to be commanded by a warrior from the other Clan and this led to a Trial being fought over who got to lead after a refusal to follow orders led to a fuckup during battle.

>>97907736
I think you’re on the right track but it probably needs to be a little closer to ground level, considering the CW side will be represented by someone junior enough to lead a single Star. He pilots the Timber Wolf by the way.

>>97907763
Then his Star is assigned to work alongside the Exiles, one side refuses to cooperate, someone fucks up, people die. Trial is fought. One side wins, now CW and CW-I-E work together properly, if reluctantly.

>>97907772
For sure, this is where I was going with the bigger picture. Tensions between CW Delta and CW-i-E Beta on Skye escalate to the point of conflict, which is averted by a Trial. Delta hardline conservatives balk at the notion of a Trial between one of theirs and CW-i-E because it recognizes the latter as genuinely Clan but Warden-leaning Delta CO/CW Lore Master Katya Kerensky reasons spurning the challenge would cede the moral high ground. But I’m having trouble thinking of an interesting conflict to spark the challenge. I am thinking the CW-i-E side issues the challenge.

I am once again, forced to remind you, that the griffin is the superior medium.

So, why isnt there an optional advanced quirk system that goes as in depth as MWO? It makes mechs much more unique.

Twas not an opinion but a fact proven over numerous games that anyone who actually plays would know.

Once again clan Griffin is better.
Once again there are better mediums.

The only people who disagree are too poor to afford a Griffin. Prove me wrong!

>>97907959
Trying too hard.

>>97907963
but not 'better'. because everything else is either cripplingly overspecialised or cripplingly generalised.

shadowhawk and wolverine are not the best because they're not good enough at any one thing.
hunchback is not the best because it is only good at point blank, whilst being slow.

meanwhile, griffin is best because it is 'good enough' at many things, instead of just being meh/ok at all things.

it is designed to hit things from a distance, but if anything is silly enough to close with it, it can also go to fisticuffs and mech-fu with the best.

Thanks bro! I should have posted the pic with Crusader since you painted one, too.

>>97908195
no. because I use her out of love. not for what she can do for me.

only the filthy waacfag makes everything cheap, tawdry, transactional.

>>97908168
It doesn’t have to be pretty, it just has to work.

Which, just to put it bluntly, the vindicator has good long-range capabilities (PPC+LRM5), good close-range capabilities (ML+LL), and better heat management than the Griffin.

Pair it with some hardy heavies or juggernaut assaults and you’ll find it makes a good enough sniper that doesn’t really need to be supported. It can take care of itself.

A hypothetical Shadow Hawk 2H that had a large laser in place of the AC5 and those 4 tons spent in other places would give it a much better placing amongst the 55 trio.

>>97908207

>>97908222

The Turkayyid variant did that as well didn't it? The SHD-2Ht. Large Laser instead of the AC, ML and a pair of Stream SRM-2's. Supposed to be an Elemental Hunter, because presumably it comes from a time when the IS had no fucking clue what it was doing in that respect?

>>97908263
nah, 7h is the closest you can get to what the shd was supposed to do, since it has the ml, the srm, the lrm, and a thumping great uac10 that can and will actually hurt things. so it finally is the mech with the really nasty autocannon and a bunch of supporting weapons.

>>97908208
Quite literally what I did with the 3H I designed, based off of the only bit of art for the mech I could find. Large Laser, SRM6, 4 srm2's, a medium laser, and 2 machineguns iirc. I'll dig the record sheet out later and post it.

>>97908259
then raid them and steal it. yeesh. at least do some of your own thinking, mechwarrior.
