Clan Blood Spirit: Get Off Our Lawn

[Stormlion1]

3 Blood Kites, 2 Minsk ... team work over duels, very nice punisher unit.

It's a pretty nasty punisher Star. Only bad part is there not Omni's and cant add Elemental support for extra armor...I mean to carry into a fight!

[Wolf72]

Order received, Star Colonel.  Five loaded Svantovits are inbound!

Anhurs would work too.

[Sjhernan3060]

It would be an interesting background.

However, I think if the Spirits would have Monsoons, Farraguts and or McKenna battleships they would not have gone Exodus, they would have attacked the Adders full force.
I can hardly think of the Spirits running away.

I want to preface this by saying I have have THREE farragut models one of which I have earmarked as my original spirits flagship. Having said that the level of hate the spirits had I feel only increased over time so I gotta think any warships of that caliber would have been used.

Honestly I think if the Spirits did have a Battleship at any point it was traded to the Ravens. No, I think the Spirits original Flagship wasnt a Battleship at all but something more symbolic. A Cameron perhaps.

Ugh...

Badger C tracked better...

Or go old school and equip with a Point of Saladin C!

I think I will put my Minsk into my blood guard keshik that seems like a good place for a bodyguard unit!

[Wolf72]

The Badger is ... much slower, but I love its design

[Stormlion1]

Minsk came in on saturday. Thinking of the Beta Galaxy scheme for it. Already have a Trinary for Alpha, Tau, and the Blood Guard Keshik. So maybe its Beta's turn?

Glad to hear it! What scheme do you use for your beta spirits?

For now I'm gonna use this. At least I will until someone canonized a scheme on Camospecs.

I like that scheme.

I'd even go as far to swap out grey for deep jet black ...

but, I can't paint!  :D  (well, can but when they say basic, they mean me)

I'm sure you paint just fine.

I love the scene but it’s similar to other schemes would a bronze highlight be too flashy?

I dont think it would. It's your universe!

[Wolf72]

parade color bronze, or dirty field worthy bronze? ... both would be awesome and not to flashy!

Blood Spirits are proud. Go with parade color bronze.

[Sjhernan3060]

Blood Spurits are proud. Go with parade color bronze.

Yes! I do feel like the spirits are Uber proud of being who they are

[Stormlion1]

Yup, they would be polishing like crazy and have the Techs do it if there too busy. Probably would even come up with a reason for the accents. The more the higher in rank or such.

[Wolf72]

looking over my KS loot (one of each plus salvage stuff).

Did the Nightstar make it on to the exodus?  It was released at the end of the Amaris Civil War, right? ... if so, I think I want it to be a BS Mech ... simple weapons upgrade (even if using 'improved' versions and an enhanced ER PPC). MML here I come to check it out!

A few I think probably did. The question would be if they survived the early years of the Clans and the various Pentagon Wars that proceeded the formation of the Clans. If any did they would have had a place in the early Clans forces during Klondike.

One of my favorite things about the blood spirits is that you can always include old school designs like that pretty much no matter the era!

And something the Blood Spirits would do is upgrade SLDF designs to Clan Standards. Honestly I'm suprised we do not see more IIc versions of SLDF designs that the Blood Spirits would field over the years. The other Clans might look down on the use of upgraded SLDF designs but those upgraded designs would be no less deadly.

[Wolf72]

in FM Crusader clans CBS still had original model SL era mechs in it ... I would totally upgrade those.  Maybe go for the stop gap upgrade and use the Improved weapons from I.O. -- the improved SRMs are totally worth it, same weight, better range ... done.  ACs are same as from the original TRO 3050, but that is still some mass savings for HS or more ammo.  LRMs iirc got to half mass, but might have min range ... still a win.  The improved Gauss rifle is only off by the clan standard by 1 ton iirc.  Improved versions of PPC, LL, PLL are ok too.

Upping to full modern Clan standard weapons and armor would just make all these SL models just kick-ass.  The IS XL engines might make them a bit more fragile though.

While digging through Sarna I came across this guy. A possible Clanner who came to the Inner Sphere in the Succession Wars. And in the Apocryphal section it mentions he had a Nighstar.

Linky?

Sorry, thought I had included the link.

[Wolf72]

sweeeeet.

[Stormlion1]

sweeeeet.

So at least the predecessor organization to the Wolf Dragoons had access to the Nightstar. The Dragoons themselves didnt field any though. So the Brian Caches probably were tapped out by that point with any surviving examples being in a Clans forces.

[Wolf72]

you know the Scorps were itching to have one in their collection, too!

" Clan " Snord had scores of them before, you know, that happening.

Just saying...
