Hello, I've been collecting mechs for awhile, and I want to build a force for my favorite periphery faction. The idea initially was to build a company, though I ended up with more that seemed thematically appropriate. For the most part I've been sticking to primarily general IS, FWL and Capellan mechs, not withstanding the FWL mechs being used as an OpFor for both this and my Lyrans.
From what I understand, more mobile mechs are prefered, though I'm currently short on shadow hawks and bug mechs.
Starting with the succession wars era.
Right now I have:
Blackjack, Hunchback, Raven, Clint x2, Flea, Dervish, Quickdraw, Wolverine, Grasshopper, Enforcer, Blackjack, Cataphract,
Catapult x2, Vindicator x2
I do have others that I can list if requested.
I'm looking at add Merlins because I think they're both cool and approriate for a periphery nation, and shadow hawks.
My big question however comes from my attempt to make my force playable for multiple eras. I'm looking at adding about four mechs per era/TRO, and am having trouble picking out mechs that are both thematic and cool, and am looking for advice and opinions on what to add.
I'm also picking up the two new starter boxes, and a friend is giving me his Robotech RTT KS stuff so I'll have that to add as well.
Thanks for the help and advice.
