This fortnight, we look at an old friend from
Technical Readoout: 3025. A favorite of House Davion following an in-universe event in 3022, the
Blackjack has been with us for a while, with little fanfare. It has gained some prominence with its initial importance in the HBS computer game so it's not as overlooked as it once was. For information about using it in game, please see its
'Mech of the Week article.
For what I presume to be out-of-game reasons (because the in-game reasons don't make a lot of sense), the
Blackjack became the foundation for one of the first Inner Sphere OmniMechs. It too has a
'Mech of the Week article.
The
Blackjack only has a few sculpts:
- The original metal sculpt (20-880).
- The PlasTech sculpt
- The plastic mini released by CGL (based on the original metal sculpt) in the Assault Lance Pack
The
Blackjack OmniMech only has
a single sculpt (20-905).
If you have any of these painted, please share pictures. We'd love to see them!
It's time to set the schedule for the next quarter. Is there a mini you'd like to see featured? If so, please leave a comment in the
discussion and scheduling thread.
As always, thank you for reading.
Our next two fortnights will be:
- Clan (6/22): Cephalus, Septicemia, and Osteon
- Special (7/6): ProtoMechs
