Re: DROP POD SEQUENCE INITIATED…THREE, TWO, ONE! (The announcements, finally)

[Corrinald]

Wow that's an overload of awesome news!  Looking forward to all of these things very much. May have to get a second job though..

[Luriael]

The Warhammer is dead, long live the Warhammer.

man... now I need a wallpaper!

[Atlas3060]

man... now I need a wallpaper!

For your room or your computer?

The answer is "yes", I reckon.  8)

[MrKiasu]

And not just new classics but it looks like Anthony Scroggins' redesigns if that warhammer is anything to go by. Even more awesome!

[Xtrahmxwohld]

ooOOOooo  If the whammy is on the new BT shirt at GenCon I'm gonna have to find me a ninja shopper....

[GhostBear]

No, I think that's the Wombat in your wallet doing the crying....Right before he steals your wallet and pants...... ;) ;)

No offense, but that meme needs to quietly die.

Anthony Scroggins did the Combat Manual cover.....

[Sentinel373]

AAAW YEAH! Finally I can talk a little bit about this! It's hard pretending you don't know anything :P

That Warhammer CG model was made by me and for this project I'm contracted to do several more! So if you guys like the mini's I've made in the past you know what you're in for :)

[malk2651]

I'm struggling to not hop around my office in a happy dance.  :D

[Colt Ward]

Nobody from CGL said any of the units included would be Clan. Perhaps it's all 22 of the classic Inner Sphere 'Mechs.

Well, if it is to get into the Clan Invasion era as described- and leaving aside that great company vs binary balance- then who would the IS forces be defending an invasion against?

or what Adrian said

[Luriael]

For your room or your computer?

The answer is "yes", I reckon.  8)

YES... both, but just give me a 1900x1200 high quality picture and I'll work on the poster myself  :))

[ActionButler]

Oh good, somebody interested in them for more than just the shiny 'mechs.  (OOhh, they are SO shiny though!)

Seriously?  If the Combat Manuals are what I think they are (and the descriptions posted today makes me think that they are) then they are exactly what I've been waiting to see added to Battletech for a very long time. 

Genuinely very excited. 

[cmoreland]

Reworking the minis????????

THIS IS FRAKKIN HUGE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE BATTLETECH!!!!!!!!!!

I have to pee again

[ColBosch]

Yeah, poverty, surrounded by pretty paper and bits of plastic and metal. O0

[StoneRhino]

I'm either going with "Classics" or just by their actual model names.
To me the Unseen situation is dead.

I mean yeah I still as a Mod have to enforce the "No Unseen images" stuff though.
The Warhammer is dead, long live the Warhammer.

Oh Blake, its Jade Wolf all over again!

[mrbooth]

RISC tech is Republic DA tech found in IO. You don't need a Marauder mini to use it, but that's a pretty fun combo.  O0

I am looking for the tables that have all of the stats of the RISC equipment, I did a quick look of book but did not see them.

[BrokenMnemonic]

I'm loving the fiction sections in the IO Beta. It even has some WarShip names! And it gives some background to flesh out the death of half a dozen worlds, and it has thermobaric weapons for Weirdo to play with...

.. and someone's mis-spelt Herakleione as Heraklieone. Which might be a deliberate slip :P

[Sartris]

Yeah, poverty, surrounded by pretty paper and bits of plastic and metal. O0

add a scowling wife to complete the aesthetic for me

[Adrian Gideon]

Will there, or is there, new artwork for the unseen 3055 second gen clan mechs and IICs? Warhammer IICs and StoneRhinos

Maybe, but *if* so, it's on the back burner. Look at it this way, if I told you flat out "no, we don't want to and it will never happen!" -- would you believe me? We've got LAMS. We've got novels. We got Handbook: House Kurita and Interstellar Operations out.the.door. We've got plastic minis. We've got Succession Wars and Alpha Strike. We're covering all eras of the BattleTech Universe.

Never say never. How about, "not yet?" ;)

[Weirdo]

Wait, WHAT?!?

Good enough for me.

[kurtl000]

No...uh...so many things to talk about, we probably missed some. Like, new (and old) dice at GenCon this year. Still con-only for now, but it's something. we've got the Houses and Clans again, and this year we've added Mercenaries.

And there's not enough on the Alpha Strike Box Set to talk about, so you can consider this unofficially official: You see we're working on brand new minis from the ground up, and the AS Box is our next game aid to feature minis so...and as of this moment, we're looking at a Binary vs. a company for the content.
.... ::)

Wait I have a question will there be a pdf available for the novels including the one at the printers right now? I'm assuming yes?

[Savage Coyote]

Indeed, this is a hard one to keep under wraps!

[Atlas3060]

Wait, WHAT?!?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this as I peruse my copy of it.  >:D

[greatsarcasmo]

The newseen/classics are wonderful. I can't wait to paint up my merc force from when I was 10. The Death Angels.

All this talk about the game not putting stuff out and slowly dying and now this. Well done Everyone.

Well done.

[BrokenMnemonic]

Wait, WHAT?!?

Three named Leagues: Talwar, Turk, Tyberium
One named Aegis: Manaslu

And it has the rules for thermobaric weapons immediately before the rules on nukes. They look exactly your kind of thing.

[Atlas3060]

On recommendation from one of the Beemers in purple, I've stickied this thread.
By the odd chance I wasn't supposed to do that, I'm sorry.

However it may be a moot point.
You giggling gaggle of giddy gamers just keep popping this thread up to the top anyways.  ;)

[ColBosch]

I'll have you know, sir, that I have yet to giggle.

[Weirdo]

They named another Aegis?!

When there's so many classes out there with no named hulls...

Eh, I won't complain. It's still MADmas.

[Khymerion]

Okay...  even I will go and bite down my cynical attitude that I have had for a while now.
