Your Griffin just so happens to look like a Von Rohrs?

Think it is a Von Rohrs, so it isn't really right pic for 1SW. Probably existing art that happened to fit the page well?

EDIT Pretty 'Mech... a pity it is extinct and doesn't have modern variant, would otherwise probably get one for my Kurita force...

The introduction was interesting insight to how the new League handles the Inner Sphere.

The Star League loremaster with a Falcon bloodname sounds very pro-Falcon in that intro - I wonder if that is a hint as to the identity of the IlClan?

Is it still a Falcon bloodname?

By that point, who knows. But I think it was still exclusive last we heard.

Seeing as how the mods had to lock the TRO:Jihad thread and if I start a new thread to ask this question the mods will have to lock that as well I'm going to ask this here because I don't think the same problem can come up here:

As of TRO:Jihad what are the units that are still not covered by the era series of TRO's?

It is the Clan Wolf, me thinks. The Dark Age Wolves are Crusaders, have been since 3060s.
Then there's the CS2014 Diorama, planned IlClan cover featuring Devlin Stone and Alaric Wolf-Ward-Steiner-Davion dueling, all the obvious foreshadowing like the Wolf leader being named Alaric...

At least the Wolves are the first on Terra, i'll admit that it is possible they end up losing anyway. But figure that's unlikely.

Just downloaded the Activity Book! ... so fun looking!

what do I have to do print it off at say Staples or UPS store?  Can I just put on a flash drive and bring it over? (well checking covid-19 restrictions)

Tried to donate $10, but it was knocked down to $8 with %20 off.

I am pretty sure you can e-mail the file you want printed rather than exchanging a drive for contact purposes.

Ok, so I'm a little behind in getting the Activity Book...

I will admit this is a pretty cool thing. While I haven't been following the Kickstarter stuff, I'm loving the new Clan art that's in it.

Personally, I think my favorite piece of new art in it is the UrbanMech. It just looks so tough in that pose.

Edit: as to the Clan ‘Mechs, I think I most like the Gargoyle’s new art.

+++MOD NOTICE+++

Okay, folks, let's just stop that line of discussion about the TRO: Jihad thread lock RIGHT NOW.  I don't care if you think it's funny, just stop.

SCC, if you have questions about the matter, take them to the admins over PM.  That is not going to be hashed out publicly and further mentions may result in warnings.

Ruger

Amen to that.  That Gargoyle looks mean and aggressive.  I'd pilot that mech in a heartbeat.  I always felt like the Gargoyle was the Timber Wolf's sad sack cousin, kind of like karma biting you for having an especially great heavy mech, you get the worst possible assault mech (out of the original invasion Omnis).

Scroggins really hit the ball out of the park with that one.  Crushed it.

Anyone dissing the Gargoyle Prime doesn't play with BV balancing often enough.  1537 for a ludicrously fast Assault 'Mech that can critseek like nobody's business is a steal.

Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

Or just face combined arms where you need to park tanks, plink VTOLs and lawndart ASF/Convos.  Given the skill of Wolf pilots in the Invasion, calling Upper on a enemy mech and plinking the head enough is viable.

Guilty as charged.  Once we get our KS minis I hope to rectify that by getting some games in.  I'll have to give it a go.

Even better if you're not RPing and can use Physical attacks.

I said BV balanced, I figured that implied not arbitrarily handicapping yourself in a way that takes away your biggest weapon. :P

Aww, setting everything on fire and running through it like a mad man was always fun with the Prime to me . . . you could run into fire, stand in it, fire everything off, and be coated in infernos (pre-TW) and not even heat up.
