New clan book
People taking about my clan

And my shiny new computer is jacked up... some how got Astromenda as my home page (nice little fishing site Google look alike).  Probably when I tired to update Adobe.

Seyla, maybe by the time I get it sorted Battleshop will have it

There's some overlap with Klondike, but the VA Exos and Indies book has new art for the Buster and properly marks which units have advanced fire control and commercial armour. Also, that janky-looking armed indymech from War of 3039 now has a name and stats which made me happy.

Me too...

The question now becomes... how ominous is the opening fiction meant to be for readers?  How scary could the invasion have been?  Will we find out first hand?

Really hoping that the remaining home clans are following the Adders lead now.

Both? Last I heard there were four Clans in the Homeworlds. Cobras, Adders, Lions, and Coyotes.

Love what was done with RS:VA Industrial Mechs & Exoskeletons.  Man that was wordy, Volume 1 would have be better! *ducks*  Thank you CGL guys getting that and that fantastic OTP: REVIVAL Trails done!

Hopefully, now that we have a Record Sheet book of items most people won't use in comparison to something else...I HOPE we will some day get a Record Sheet book of the currently unsupported items like the Dire Wolf "Lone Wolf" or Vlad's Executioner, and SOOO many others that don't have official Record Sheets for them. THOSE would be used MUCH more in my opinion than Exoskeletons & Industrial Mechs...but I've been known to be wrong here or there.

I've certainly used IndstrialMechs in more games than Phelan's Daishi or Vlad's Executioner.

I personally don't know anyone that either used to or still currently I play with that ever used them...but we have all done up "as close as possible" record sheets & played the unique mechs. Guess it all depends on the people you play with/against.

Considering Vlad's Executioner is illegal as described, I doubt we will see it anytime soon. Indies however can be very fun.

I highly recommend trying them out sometime, they're a lot of fun.  I'm actually painting a bunch of the minis right now.

Lumberjack MilitiaMech is probably my favourite platform from the RS book.

Any love for the almighty Dig Lord, or did they accept that some monsters simply could not be made greater terrors?

There's a combat mod for the Dig King, but not the Dig Lord, I'm afraid.

Have not really used industrial mods, but I have just purchased the new Record Sheets and RS: OP Klon. (I will have some 'splainin' to do.) Interested to see what they have.

From the looks of it, the Dig King appears to be what was MWDA's MiningMech which they had in clicky game and in MWDA Record Sheet Books 1.   

Glad they finally made record sheet again for the ForestryMech, though iI left asking single question.  What kind of armor does it have?  Original Dark Age  RS had it with actual standard armor, how can one tell if it does or not?

Armor types, that are treated differently from standard armor in terms of gameplay have their type noted in the armor diagram of any given unit. See the Mad Cat IV in TRO 3145 Mercenaries. "Ferro-Lamellor" is written between the legs of the armor diagram on the sheet.

From the looks of the chart,it doesn't say anything. So I'm to assume this is standard armor like the one from the older MWDA Record Sheet book?  There couple units that say its IndustrialMech, but nothing about the armor type.  I've seen what your talking about in previous releases of Record Sheet books, but not here from what my eyes see anyways.  ForestryMech is listed with Suuccession Wars era too, to me I would think standard armor would be easier to maintain on anything walking than having specialized armor lingering around, civilian or not.
