It's time to waddle to victory.

Of course, you could just paint them as three different militia units.

;D
Good idea. A noble is probably more concerned with uniform looking guard than a bunch mercs.

Make them some planetary noble’s household guard. His great-grandfather bought a ton of Liao salvage after the 4SW (what? It was cheap!) assembled a full company of UrbanMechs for his retainers.

I like that!

I haven't paint minis in years but i couldn't resist the company pack of urbanmechs. now to figure out what to do with them.

I'd do a Lance in that Noble (CapMarch) colors.

Another Lance as Op-4 in Cap Con colors.

Final 4 I'd parcel out to other houses/mercs in singles to fill out "Urban" lances w/ things like Hunchbacks, Victors, & Fleas...etc.

I would start with the various Urbanmechs from UrbanFest, such as some soccer players, the three Fistful of Urbies(complete with hats), the rodeo clowns, etc. Then like Hellraiser I would paint the remainder up as members of minor forces like noble house guards, militia, corporate security, etc.

Hehe, I like that, my own 2 Urbies from KS are getting done as 2nd MAC & R2-D2 (IE. SilverHawk Irregulars/Rare Barony)

;D Lots of good suggestions. ;D

One lance will go to my personal merc force Hockwell's Gunslingers AKA the HoGs. I think the HoGs need a training and replacement lance for the unit owned mechs they have.

Another lance will become House Liao militia. And the third lance I will hold onto for more inspiration.

These plastic minis are very nice. I might have to buy some more.

One can never have enough.

boilerman · « **Reply #339 on:** 24 February 2023, 17:53:35 »

It would seem neither can my cat have enough. I caught trying to chew one urbie up. Thankfully no damage done. ;D

I think I have the name for my urbie merc lance: "Katz bane."

Horsemen · « **Reply #340 on:** 24 February 2023, 23:54:04 »

I like that. So tell us more about Lance Commander Katz, boilerman.

boilerman · « **Reply #341 on:** 25 February 2023, 22:24:41 »

Katz Bane: extermination specialists for your pest problems.

Some how I get the feeling they'll wind up as pirates due to war crimes. If they beat the bounty hunters.

Does anyone have all three issues of the War College of Goshen journal? Or whatever we titled it. I cannot find my copies among all my BT stuff.

I'd forgotten about those. I might have them on a disk somewhere. Do you remember how many issues there were?

Doc Swift · « **Reply #344 on:** 26 February 2023, 17:13:32 »

It was called The Review.

boilerman · « **Reply #345 on:** 26 February 2023, 18:17:30 »

yes. the review, and we got 3 issues out.

boilerman · « **Reply #346 on:** 26 February 2023, 18:32:50 »

Would anyone care if I rewrote/edited the combat support field manual?

nerd · « **Reply #347 on:** 26 February 2023, 20:17:05 »

No, and I think it would be good to have again. I'd get more out of it now, especially since I've worked with Seabees and Special Operators.

I'd snag a copy, I've still got a hard copy of the original that I printed off years ago that I reference all the time.

I have two. Didn't realize there was a third. I can attach them here if that's not any kind of forum rules violation.

Go for it! I still have a pdf copy that I refer back to sometimes. Going to update it to cover LCTs as well?

boilerman · « **Reply #350 on:** 27 February 2023, 20:32:00 »

LCTs?

Doc Swift · « **Reply #351 on:** 27 February 2023, 20:40:21 »

An abomination which should not be mentioned in this hallowed place.

Kerfuffin(925) · « **Reply #352 on:** 27 February 2023, 21:15:48 »

I was happy in DD they mentioned they are expanding back into RCTs and away from LCTs

boilerman · « **Reply #353 on:** 27 February 2023, 21:23:03 »

Those LCTs.

I'm pretty sure I'm taking the TOE section out of the CSFM.

One advantage to a Light Combat Team is it is easier to actually complete one with miniatures. ;D

Arkansas Warrior · « **Reply #355 on:** 28 February 2023, 22:07:55 »

The issues of The Review are, sadly, too big to attach. Let me see if I can figure something else out.

Edit: They're both in my Google Drive, let me see if I can make them public and share the links:

Issue 1: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9KZsRIc_ubcWklaSkY0dF83eW8/view?usp=share_link&resourcekey=0-M0V6ExQkfA4Ygk-xlok06A

What are these from?

Arkansas Warrior · « **Reply #357 on:** 28 February 2023, 23:01:21 »

Fan magazine from years (decades, now?) ago.

Horsemen · « **Reply #358 on:** 01 March 2023, 16:37:22 »

Definitely decades. I want to say early 2000s as they were around before I became an agent and I became an agent in 2006 and I am fairly sure at least the first two were out well before that.

Doc Swift · « **Reply #359 on:** 01 March 2023, 17:22:59 »

I believe I was in my house working on Issue 3, which would have been late 2006 at the earliest. So, less than two decades.

I'm also pretty sure we didn't start on them until we all met in person at GenCon 2004, though I think it was actually GenCon 2005 where the idea germinated. I think they came out from 2005-2006.
