I'm curious what that marching Star League army picture is attached to. Maybe ELH thing, but....certainly interesting!

Filename says it's for the Universe book

ShadowSwordmaster · « **Reply #92 on:** 04 September 2021, 13:26:27 »

Maybe a double page spread to introduced to the Star League Era?

Wrangler · « **Reply #93 on:** 05 September 2021, 10:53:50 »

Has it been explained what the Universe book is? I suspect it's Battletech introduction book for new players.

There's a blurb on the upcoming products page. Basically it's going to be the history of the Inner Sphere and Clans up until the ilClan era.

But not have anything on the Homies past the Wars of Reaving period.

You remember the Shattered Sphere book from way back when? By all indications, it's that, but going all the way up to IlClan.

BaachicLitNerd · « **Reply #97 on:** 05 September 2021, 13:41:04 »

Honestly, I liked Shattered Sphere quite a bit (even if it means I am constantly typing it when I mean Shattered Fortress...) so that sounds great to me. A Good companion to the Legends book, seems like. Also, daaaaaang that Shrapnel 6 cover.

That sounds awesome! I still love Shattered Sphere, and not just because it's our best recounting of GUERRERO to date.

Well… I mean the Silver Hawks don’t like Clan Wolf for a very obvious reason or two so having them back into the fold to help take back some Wolf Empire worlds seems like a good plan.

Excited for the upcoming releases for sure: maybe I cursed a bit loudly in happiness when I saw PoD of the sourcebooks like Liberation of Terra and the like: completing my collection will be soooooo much easier with PoD! Got a couple friends who love the Hanseatic stuff and the Crusade book was pretty damn awesome. Love the art and can’t wait for the Rec Guides and Shrapnels.

My wallet hates everything I just said.

Just got back from PAX west. CATALYST was there with a table full of the wave 2 mechs they had a sneaky annihilator done in there! Talked with the guys and it is for a new wolf's dragoons box dew out in a few months

The Annihilator (concept sketch + 3D render) and Hoplite (concept sketch) have been shown on Anthony's Patreon.. curious to see if this rumour pans out.

Wish there were more 100 tonners around the 3000s that were not introduced by the Dragoons. Originally quadrupling the available 100 ton roster, yet limiting them by exclusivity.

I believe only the King Crab was introduced in as the other 100 tonner to survive through the early succession wars in numbers great enough to be considered a viable sight on the battlefield.

There is a Wolf’s Dragoons themed ForcePack (not box). The Annihilator is in it. It’s not (at all!) indicative of themed or faction ForcePacks. Nor is it connected to any forthcoming Kickstarter. Can’t say anything else at this time.

Can you say it is connected to you fielding a million questions and fan doom and gloom/jumping to conclusions?

Imp, Annihilator, Marauder II.

Sartris · « **Reply #112 on:** 06 September 2021, 13:57:02 »

The Wolf's Dragoon's sourcebook had a mini TRO in the back

Annihilator
Falcon
Firefly
Flea
Hoplite
Hornet
Imp
Marauder II
Shogun
Wolfhound (fluffed as KH/LC mech sold to the dragoons)

Badger
Bandit
Kestrel
Peregrine
Plainsman
Zhukov

Adrian Gideon · « **Reply #113 on:** 06 September 2021, 13:57:58 »

Also: nearly all the ‘Mechs from TRO Succession Wars (3025, 3039, etc.).
So.

He specifically referenced the trio of 100t mechs that rolled out with the Dragoon information, which gave them the most in that weight class at the time.

Oh, sorry, my question was unrelated. I was asking generally. sorry for the mixup.

I would like a complete zag and have a bombardier in there. That was a relatively rare mech the dragoons showed up with, right?

I'd guess its another take on Kerensky and DeChavilier in action during the Star League Civil War. The Orion does have 'AK' painted on the left leg and DeChavilier did pilot an Atlas...

CVB · « **Reply #117 on:** 06 September 2021, 15:18:58 »

There is also a small AD painted on the Atlas...

Fat Guy · « **Reply #118 on:** 06 September 2021, 19:00:16 »

Seeing how we already got the Marauder II, I'd predict the Dragoons force pack will contain the Annihilator, Hoplite (both previewed on Patreon), Shogun and Imp. If it's done as a star and not a lance, add the Firefly.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #119 on:** 06 September 2021, 19:05:01 »

Gallowglas too, lets it be used in a few more eras.
