We still make Hellbringers, quiaff? ???

Aff. The Hellbringer fluff from Rec Guide 1 states that it is produced alongside the Hellbringer 2. It appears to see more use among solahma and disgraced warriors then front line mechwarriors.

The Heirofalcon is the omni that the Jade Falcons have needed and should have been producing a lot earlier then they did. It's mobile and it hits hard. I've been waiting for this mech for a long time. I'm glad they didn't make jump jets fixed. IJJs and a Partial wing though! 10 jump MP.

Mecha82 · « **Reply #1052 on:** 18 July 2020, 13:18:57 »

Come think of it just like Summoner looks like Omni version of Thunderbolt, Hellbringer looks like Omni version of Warhammer. That must had been intentional design choice.

The Hierofalcon is a very good Omni. I'm pretty sure it's the first outright Omni with a Partial Wing?

The Flamberge has a partial Partial Wing.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1054 on:** 20 July 2020, 12:45:58 »

Not the Omni. Like the Cougar, all the winged Flamberges are non-Omni variants.

The 2 and 3 have regular Partial Wings. The Omni has a partial Partial Wing. ;)

Partial Partial Wings have all the coolness of the real thing, like snazzy art, but none of the crunch.

So the emphasis was on "trying". Gotcha.

Well, utter imperviousness to humor is a classic Jade Falcon trait, so this feels fittingly in-character.

Should I post this as a reply whenever you're "trying" to be silly, or is that something only mods get to do?

A Warhammer from the front, an Archer from the side.

In the upcoming Battletech releases there is a tale called Honor's Gauntlet featuring Star Captain Archer Pryde. That name is in the Kickstarter Backer Database. Is this the first Kickstarter canon character we have seen?

Michael Hiner, a Griffin notable Mechwarrior in the Recognition Guide vol. I, is listed in the database. As is Alishay Glass and Jan (Muller). And Nathaniel Carlson and Daniel Daley and.. I'm going to stop checking now :).

Thank you for info. I hope at some point the database will reference the material where the character is used.

The notable Griffin pilot Mechwarrior Jan is from the character list. The submission notes that the name is pronounced yawn. The fluff states that Jan gets upset when people mispronounces his name. They nailed this character submission. Mechwarrior Tyle Malthus from the Summoner fluff is another character from the submissions list. I had also noticed Archer Pryde was in there too. It has gotten me excited from future Recognition guides to see if my character is in there. I didn't list a specific mech so I can end up anywhere. Maybe I'll be a Jade Pheonix pilot!

I am also guessing this was part of the plan when they asked for character submissions.

Mecha82 · « **Reply #1067 on:** 22 July 2020, 21:33:30 »

It would surely be interesting if they gave Archer Pryde Jade Phoenix because it's brand new mech. Sure I could see him get some other mech instead but still.

By the way, talking about Pryde. Are they any known characters that were created from Aidan Pryde's genes? Of course they wouldn't have Pryde bloodname because as we all know it's gene mother's bloodname that they are allowed to fight over.

MarauderCH IIC · « **Reply #1068 on:** 22 July 2020, 22:14:13 »

Archer Pryde selected a Warhawk Prime as his preferred choice of mech but that doesn't necessarily mean that is what the character will be piloting one.

... you mean besides Diana Pryde?

Sharpnel · « **Reply #1070 on:** 23 July 2020, 03:15:12 »

IIRC, Diana's mother, Peri, was of the Pryde bloodhouse, so it's all good.

I meant trueborn ones that were created by using his genetic material. I should had been more specific so this is on me. Besides Diana Pryde is freeborn and exception.

I can't think of any characters that are confirmed to be created from Aidan's genes, but really any Pryde could have been.

Clan genetic science allows for a 'male' to be used as the 'matrilineal' contributor. For example, the Falcons would use Aidan's genes for a Pryde sibko, where another Clan, lets say Ghost Bear, would use it as the secondary/male contribution to a Gurdel sibko.

The 'gene mother' can be a male warrior. The term simply denotes whose genes were inserted into the egg cell. That part of the process is I believe possible even with today's tech.

Mecha82 · « **Reply #1074 on:** 24 July 2020, 16:32:33 »

Ah I see. I didn't know about that but that is very interesting. I quess they need to do that time to time.

That's how the Wolf-Coyote sharing of Kufahl and Kerensky genes work in honor of Dana's and Andrey's relationship. The 'Yotes have to use the Kerensky genes as genefather, while the Wolves have to use Kufahl as the genefather. So that way they don't have to worry about another Clan taking up some of the limited slots allotted to each Bloodhouse.

Intermittent_Coherence · « **Reply #1076 on:** 25 July 2020, 21:39:28 »

TBF the matrilineal descent only happened later. In the early days of the Eugenics program it was much more freeform.

Trothkin can I be honest with you? I'm starting to dread the ilClan book. I'm not sure I see any way it could be anyone other than the freakin' Wolves taking the title.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1078 on:** 26 July 2020, 12:39:55 »

I have no doubt the Wolves will get the prize initially. But they'll probably get rid of Malvina for us, and then the REAL question: Will they be strong enough to hold the title? >:D

worktroll · « **Reply #1079 on:** 26 July 2020, 17:53:18 »

Wolves: "We're the IlClan!"

Other IS clans: "So what?"
