the yellow paintjob on my locust was a bust, its absolutely garish
its also been hit with the THIN YOUR PAINTS demon, so might as well scrub it

what color should it be now?
thinking either grey like an AT-ST or all-white like an ipod-mech, either way its evil
or just embrace the garishness and keep it yellow or a similiarly dumb scheme like pink?

base coating pink and then using a contrast/speedpaint/whatever paint on top works well for yellow stuff
I think yellow and white are the worst colors to paint on minis

What's a mech you just like for some reason or another. Pic related Ostroc is a fun fella to play with
>>
>>98421222
Griffin. Literally the best Mech in the game. There's nothing you can do where taking a Griffin instead of any other medium Mech isn't a clear upgrade. Other mediums shouldn't even exist.

the shadwohawk, because dougram is cool
also because shoulder guns are cool

Griffin isn't even the best introtech 55 tonner

>>98421222
The Raven is cute! I also like the idea of support mecha and wish they had more useful stuff to do.
>>
the clans should modify captured wolverines with an endo-steel skeleton and arm them with the kontios claws
>>
>>98421222
But anon, thats an Ostsol.
Though I agree, Ostrocs are cool. Especially the old sculpt

>>98421222
Osts are a fucking nightmare to kill when playing with quirks. I have grown to respect them heavily.
>>98421241
I see members of the Griffin Consortium are posting already.
>>98421306
Raven looks great but frankly is a bit shit. There's a few mechs that do its job better.
>>98421312
They should modify the Wolverine by turning it into scrap metal, the only true good modification for the Wolverine!
>>
>>98421222
I end up going back to the Gladiator a lot, I genuinely just think it's near, and I really hate it's basically extinct for most of the lore.
Close second is the Phoenix Hawk.
>>
>>98420853
Get a Chameleon, Stinger and another common trainer mech and paint them the same as a training cadre. Yellow is a pretty common color for training vehicles.

Should I expand AGOAC with the minis from the Alpha Strike box, or wait for the new core set?

The No-Dachi has been my favourite Battletech Mech design since I first got into the game. I fucking adore this guy and he's present in every army I own. Here's my 52nd Shadow Division No-Dachi battling the Marian Hegemony's 1st Legio :)

>>98421535
Depends on the price. If you can get it cheap then the box comes with a great set of minis.

Funny how Wolverine fans always come out of the floorboards to defend their fav machine the instant it is criticised. Almost like they know they've made a terrible choice and are desperate to deny this fact :?
>>
>>98421584
I've never seen a Wolverine fan constantly feel the need to share their like of the mech. Griffin fans on the other hand can't seem to go five minutes without telling everyone else around them that they love the Griffin.
>>

i have a griffin, but only because it came in the starter set
i have 4 locusts, though

I remember you talking about this campaign, was fun keeping up with the battle reports as you posted them.
>>
>>98421258
I want to like the Hunchback, but honestly it just feels like everything it does could be done better by something else. If you want a cheap large caliber AC platform there are Urbies and Hetzers and its lack of jump jets really hurts it in the environments where it should be the most useful. On the flip side, if you want something that can endure close range slug fests, you're better off with a heavy or assault.

Truth be told though I just hate LRMs, so a mech where potentially half your damage comes from them is shit to me.

Commanding General Kerensky has said you cannot say that anymore.
>>
>>98421732
The difference between a hunchback and an urbanmech is the hunchback has just barely about everything it needs to do its job and delivers it at a reasonable price. The urbanmech strips several vital job-doing elements and delivers no results at low prices. The urbanmech is not cheap, it is actually very expensive for a paperweight.

Urbanmechs are abysmal dogshit, unless your opponent walks right into you they will do nothing all game, and if you have an opponent that makes that mistake you were probably destined to win that match anyway.
