Everything is House Davion as far as I can tell. The amount of Clan tech in this TRO is WOW! I feel like it's raining Clan Tech in the Dark Ages. I want to know more about the Radical Heat Sinks. We also have an Atlas carrying a HAG.

I see, thanks.

(Given that the Regulans and Anduriens are likely candidates to go in the Marik file, and Clan Wolf-in-Exile in with the Steiners, that would make this likely to be the only Great House faction PDF not to share its units with an associated realm.)

Looks at clock. Thirty minutes left at work. Dammit. >:(

Ok, I already know what's in the TRO, but I just want the final product!

You know, I have waited months to finally get to see the artwork of the Prey Seeker. The first unit I designed from the ground up to receive its very own piece of art. And it looks so awesome.

Knowing what's in it is always nice, but seeing the final product. The art, the writing, the stats, the Record Sheet... All in one place.
It's like Christmas :)

I like the Prey Seeker, but does it give anyone else the impression that its rushing foward to tickle someone just off camera? ;D

wow so first read thought kinda a shocker. Did the Inner Sphere Quartermasters get hit by sequestration or something? Seems the old days of tons o guns is gone now it's a few weapons with some crazy tech and a lot of armor to fill the unit out.

Sniper Suit- Cool a PAL with guns!
Sea Fox Amphibious Armor- Okay so now we can be ready to invade Water World !
Fusilier- My kinda suit, also love the beak helm
Kruger Combat car-Sweet my Humvee has been reborn and it has LAZERS now!
Marten-Updated Ferret
JI2A1 Attack APC-Hu? ???
Hasek Combat Vehicle-Humm stats kinda remind me of a updated 1/2 track from WWII :P
Sortek Assault Craft-So I gotta ask where is the rest of it? I see the crew compartment and a couple weapons. Not knocking the Art I love the Art but the Cockpit just seems so huge on this thing!
Zibler Strike Tank-finaly we get a IS version of the Epona
Hanse MBT-Humm should be Hanse Tank Destroyer, it is after all missing a turret 8)
Sniper Arty-Nice
Paladin System-(Count Coccula voice) two---two Long toms hahahaha
Destrier Siege Vehicle-So are those missiles in a 2nd Turret ?~~cause i dont see them in the stats]~~
Ballista Trailer-Gun Trailer on Roids! sweet
Prey Seeker-Um humm looks like it should wear a ghost costume and say boo a lot
Gunsmith-Looks kinda like a Alien design oh god! Clan Wolverine has failed and the Sun has been invaded by Aliens!
Hollander III-There can only be one! (que Queen song)
Scarecrow-Got a infantry problem I got a gun for that!
Antlion-I like the Art, the stats are kinda throwing me
Centurion-O-about time this bugger got the Omni Treatment
Vulpes-Another scary Alien mech!
Black Knight-5H-Maybe this one should of been added to the Clan 3145 TRO :o
Templar III-I got nothing on this one it's the Templar with a face lift and a fancy gyro
Atlas III-I kinda wanna see if it can roll up in a ball like a Droidika.
Rondel-So a sexier none-omni Dagger? I'm game!
Cutlass-Umm daddy has a new Aerospace fighter favorite!

Dave I love the Art! the stats are kinda underwhelming, but I get the feel that in 3145 we have returned to good old cavalry tactics vs the broadside blast the other guy we had back in the 3075/3085 era. It also looks lit the houses are more focused on endurance witch is good.

@Siege Vehicle: Ehhh... I rather have two Rommel Howitzer, thank you.
@Gunshmith: Was scrolling down - thoughts: "what a beauty" - eyes reach the fett - thoughts: "wtf".

I count three 'Mechs. One of them an Ultra Light, one a Light and the third a Heavy.
Far from a lot, I would say.

Granted, it's only 3/10 'Mechs. But to me, that's still a lot. I'm frugal that way. And there is a lot of Clan tech. Oddly, none for the Centurion though.

Just as we suspected in the DC thread, the FS doesn't use a lot of the specialty armour. I see mostly Ferro-esque stuff.

Don't forget to look in the back for variants. For example:

Destrier Siege Vehicle-So are those missiles in a 2nd Turret ? cause i dont see them in the stats

That second half is actually a towed trailer, the Ballista, and it's sheet is in the back.

It's a MWDA unit. That's how the mini looked.

Stealth with Clan lasers? I'd emphasize scary more!

I think this TRO definitely has designs for both. The Paladin, Destrier, Antlion, Black Knight and Atlas can definitely hold their own in sit and shoot, but the Vulpes, Centurion, Gunsmith and Zibler are definitely rocking in the cavalry department.

After reading the Black Knight entry, I need a smoke and a good lie dow

MarauderD · « **Reply #320 on:** 03 June 2013, 19:43:09 »

Curious--is the heavy duty gyro on the T3 worth the tonnage? Never used one. Also, is it there because the writers were constrained by Dark Age stats produced by WizKids so they burned those extra tons on the gyro?

Spaceman · « **Reply #321 on:** 03 June 2013, 19:51:25 »

I think the through some of the Dark Age Stats out the window.

More phenomenal art! These 3145 mini-TROs are quickly becoming my favorite.

The gryo can take a hit without affecting the PSR. You need 2 crits before any effects take place.

How useful it is depends on how afraid you are of gyro criticals.

Found the reason for the Federated Suns has recently failed...

1st) spending money on XXL Engines

2nd) spending money on Clan tech on Mechs with XXL Engines

Interesting notes

Re-engineered lasers??

Radical Heat Sink systems??

Impressions first flick through - some interesting looking units but disappointed to see the XXLs being so prevalent interesting new tech

Nice new Omnis - Zibler - awesome, Centurion about time and takes all the DA variants into one, Templar III nice upgrade

Artwork is top notch throughout - don't like a couple but they all look awesome

EDIT: The K2 Atlas III in the back is just nasty now that is a proper Atlas III

And look, the Atlas III doesn't have Modular armor. :D
Although I wasn't expecting the Shields either.

The record sheet version is better no shields and a proper gun

Spaceman · « **Reply #328 on:** 03 June 2013, 20:20:33 »

I never saw them as shields, just design choices.

ColBosch · « **Reply #329 on:** 03 June 2013, 20:22:28 »

I'd argue that these XXLs are being used exactly as they should be: to allow paradigms that are otherwise impossible. Even then, they're for rather niche units. The two upgraded rank-and-file machines - the Centurion (and who the hell ever imagined that it was an omni?) and Templar III (and what is a Templar II, then?) are freaking solid.
