Does Clan Blood Spirit have a totem mech\

Did they ever trade the blood kite? Even to the mandrills?

I'm not sure, but the MUL gives it to the Adders & Burrocks (obvious isorla), but also the Mandrills and Cobras. For some reason the Mandrills don'r get the Blood Kite 2, but the rest do.

ewwwww, it's like putting ketchup on eggs!

I guess as salvage. Mandrills ended up like us, so that wouldn't matter much anymore either. sigh .... (lol)

I could see the Spirits trading there own mechs for other designs or favors or supplies. Even gifting them on rare occasions to create stronger ties with other Clans. Loss and salvaged would be the other way Clans gained the Blood Kite. Some Clans might even trial just to get there hands on the design.

So I'm thinking of painting up a 'Historical' Battlemech for the Blood Spirits. A sort of relic kept in service from Operation Klondike or kept as part of the Clans Museum of there early history. What do people think of say using the new Black Knight miniature or even say a Mackie?

Wolf72 · « **Reply #666 on:** 03 May 2022, 15:27:41 »

I think letting using the SLE/early clan mechs is perfect for resource poor clans. There is a quirk or two that increase maintenance time and availability to make a campaign level play have more bite.

Heck in my world/AU I renamed the Black Knight a Blood Knight and gave it the IIC make over, while keeping it as true to the original as I could. To me that would be a great totem mech.

I would go with a Black Knight. a) the Mackie minis are kinda horrible looking, b) The Black Knight mini looks great, and c) A Black Knight with its no-ammo using weapons is more Blood Spirit-like.

The Black Knight is always a fun design.

There was Colleen Schmitt also had an upgraded Highlander variant with an ERPPC and some early Clantech weaponry, and you could use that as a basis for an upgraded Highlander as well.

I thought she was a Black Knight pilot?

Decoy · « **Reply #670 on:** 05 May 2022, 07:57:02 »

IIRC Hanni Schmidt, her mother was a Black Knight pilot.

Well luckily the set I just ordered comes with both a Highlander and a Black Knight.

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #672 on:** 10 May 2022, 07:06:07 »

Highlander arrived today as did the Black Knight so the plan now is to paint the Highlander up in Blood Spirit colors and the Black Knight in SLDF colors with Black Watch markings.

That of course is after I finish up all these WoB Battle Armors I need to get done.

I will. I'm guessing the paint scheme used during Klondike was the current Alpha Galaxy scheme?

I would think so especially as the spirits are big on their traditions

Erph....That is a good question...*checks* It does not seem to be available on the catalyst shop, and no idea what stories were put in the BattleCorps Anthologies.

Best bet is the Field Manual: Crusaders and Sarna.

Alex Blood Spirit was asking about an old BattleCorps story series(I want to say it was like 7 parts?).

What if Andre Kerensky had decided to join Clan Blood Spirit instead of Wolf to get out of the shadow of his Nichlas. Would that half benefited Clan Blood Spirit in any way ?

Probably yes. Being the home of a Kerensky and having the bloodline added would have given the Spirits the respect they needed to actually do the job Nicky K gave them.

I like that "What if" scenario ...

especially if he were to push the esprit de corps. What if he had enough clout to stall the Wolverine fiasco too? cool alt universe ideas here.

I like that as well! However do we think he would have joined the coyotes if he had the option?

alex blood spirit · « **Reply #686 on:** 02 June 2022, 12:41:43 »

joining the coyotes is possible but is it a conflict of interest with his relationshipm with Kufahj

Decoy · « **Reply #687 on:** 02 June 2022, 16:47:28 »

And Nicholas joining the Kerenskies and Winsons to the clan lead by his brother in law isn't?

If that had happened I wonder if that would have caused a new divide: rather then Crusader vs warden it would have been innovation/teamwork clans such as the wolverines,spirits, horses, coyotes, adders conflicting with more traditional and competitive clans like the jags,bears, hellions and wolfs.

Given time perhaps the shine would have faded off nick and wether he wanted or not andery would have attracted more “ moderate” thinkers
