New and Upcoming Releases, Vol. X: All Systems Nominal...ish

[SCC]

Yep, Commando (Says there in the file name) belonging to the 15th AG, which I think might be Alliance Guards AKA the 10th FedCom Corp

[SteelRaven]

The 15th Arcturan Guard, as the paint job suggest



That Commando would look beautiful in a Combat Manual... Hey, a man can dream ;)

[Geont]

Just tossing this here. (For short CGL presentation on MechCon 2017)

[pheonixstorm]

Sweet, origin stories for Carlyle's Commandos.

Though also not sweet... that's gonna drive the price up...  :'(

Says who?

[I am Belch II]

Where was MechCon. Might be worth it if Battletech has a large footprint there.

[Death_from_above]

I have neither the line art nor the prototype in front of me, but here's a teaser of something being worked on.

Thanks for the feedback Adrian. looks great !

It was in Vancouver, Canada.

[I am Belch II]

It was in Vancouver, Canada.

Always wanted to get out there.
Now have 2 really good reasons.

Just tossing this here. (For short CGL presentation on MechCon 2017)

Beginner's Box first.  Full Box Set second.
All new maps, part of series of new maps being made available.
Maps (not in box set, part of series) to include those that match fiction being released.  So read about battle, play out the battle. A new campaign book was briefly mentioned as part of this.
Both box sets have new short stories from Bill Keith about Grayson Carlyle's father (2950?)

Emphasis mine, because I will fight tooth and nail to get a copy of both box sets just for this reason alone.

I don't care about the sculpts or maps, which are awesome, I will always find a reason to get my hands on new William H. Keith, Jr. BattleTech material.

Also, I gotta say it again, 'dat Commando.

Vancouver Canada (My hometown :D)

It is nothing but Battletech all day long.

[Kit deSummersville]

And mentions of a Spring release.

There's even a preview.

Both box sets have new short stories from Bill Keith about Grayson Carlyle's father (2950?)

I think the middle/late 2900s would be an interesting alternative to existing 3025 material, but 2950 would have to be Grayson's grandfather. There's no way Durant Carlyle was 95 years old on Trellwan.

Image 2 of 3, this is the first of 2 maps/double sided included in the BIG BOX SET

Good job by the artist. You can see hills at a glance, even when there's trees on them, and heavy woods look distinguishable from (darker and denser than) light woods too.

[nckestrel]

Colby's Commandos is what it says on the booklet in the video.
"Durant Caryle's origin story, Grayson's father", is what Randall says.
Perhaps it's both.  It sounds like a series, so perhaps it starts in 2950 with a Colby and eventually becomes Durant as detailing where Carlyle's Commandos come from?

[Adrian Gideon]

2950 is just meant as a round era number, not a literal year for it.

[Dark Jackal]

There's even a preview.

The last spring forgot to set his/her clock from Day Light Savings.

[YingJanshi]

@Adrian Gideon = So can we take it that the crew have found a way to bring back mapsheets? Or is it just new mapsheets in the box sets?

Also...anyway we can pre-order the box sets? :D :D (Just trying to throw money at you guys. XD)

[sadlerbw]

So, given that the GoAC box art was originally shown as the cover art for CM:Davion, I'm going to go ahead and guess that the beginners box has art that was originally slated for CM:Steiner. Yes? No?

[Adrian Gideon]

Thats the plan, but I can’t say anything definite yet.

the beginner box art was repurposed from…the beginner box art. Originally it depicted Duke Hassid Ricol, now it has one of his minions in a Griffin.

[wolfspider]

Is there even a small chance that we may see Ricol in all his marauding glory?

[Cache]

Both box sets have new short stories from Bill Keith about Grayson Carlyle's father (2950?)

@Adrian Gideon: Same short story in both boxes, or different story in each?

[Adrian Gideon]

Two different stories.

[mrbooth]

Can some one please post a close up picture of the new awesome mini. That looks so cool.

[Pat Payne]

And mentions of a Spring release.

Any rumors of a date? (I know the SOP on such questions, but I just wonder if I need to anticipate putting this on my birthday wishlist  ;D)

[RoundTop]

No. No dates.

CGL does not publish dates until product has hit NA distribution (eg ship from China has unloaded in na). They will give some ballparks, such as spring 2018.

The 9 mech sculpts are done, prototypes, and finalized.
The maps are made, and getting final checks and approvals
The stories are likely done.

Production takes a couple months, then a month or two for shipping. So if they approved it tomorrow it would still be spring 2018. To give you an idea how close they are.

[Wrangler]

I'd be happy if Coming Attractions was updated.  It has never gave us dates.

EDIT: i'm not trying to be snarky or mean about making that remark.  I am very grateful to hearing news about things coming along for CGL.

[I am Belch II]

I'm sure it will "hopfully" be ready by Gencon!

[Kitsune413]

those miniatures in the box set are really gorgeous.

[Deadborder]

I have a jillion BattleTech box sets and yet I need all of this.
