Who are the Black Remnant?

According to the stream they're from the Penny Arcade podcast and their ongoing BattleTech campaign.

Oh, man, I was only really excited for the Dragon Fire but an I Asp AND a Rocketclops?  Awwwwyeah.

[Weirdo]

I'm just in it for the rocketclops, but I am IN IT for the rocketclops!

[Sapphirus]

Who wants a Bane 3?

I presume that Marauder IIC's the IIC 2

[ColBosch]

I presume that Marauder IIC's the IIC 2

Per Cubby, it's the 6.

[Corrinald]

I am excited to get the redesigned Dragon Fire!

Same here, man.  Same here

Watching the stream for Aces right now and I’m going to be spending so much money this year! Between a couple more clan forcepacks and everything that’s either been scheduled or being announced this weekend, I’m gonna have to work some overtime to keep my wife from getting PO’ed.
Edit: New plastic has the Thunderbolt IIC, Fulcrum vehicles x2, Locust IIC 4, Howler 6, Summoner H(?), Marauder IIC 6, a Rifleman variant, and a Bane 3. We finally get proper AS cards for Elementals. And more cardboard terrain a la the AS box. Liya needs to be running 24/7 until these boxes are ready for shipping!

BR pack looks sweet

[Charistoph]

Looks like the Rifleman IIC in the Aces box will have the Phoenix fins be an optional fit.  Or at least that is the current plan.

[MarauderCH IIC]

Did they give a release date for Aces?

I didn’t catch one during the livestream but I’ll rewind and check.

It's a Rifleman C 2, not a IIC. Easy mistake.

If I understand correctly, there will be four different Aces box sets. One for Tamar Rising, Empire Alone, Dominions Divided, and IKEO. Not sure if they will have unique models for each set but I fervently hope so! The first set is called Scouring Sands and will go with Tamar Rising. The models provided are your JF OpFor for the scenarios. The haven’t heard a release date yet but they did mention that the first box is about 90% done. The terrain will be a different biome for each box.

If the scenarios can be played as one-offs without having to deal with a campaign, this boosts my interest level greatly.

Maybe I misunderstood . . . Aces will have mini?  I thought it was a card game.

Seven mechs and two tanks, it looks like.

[I am Belch II]

They didnt say on a release date on Aces, but they were having large amouts of connection issues with Ray and other guest that I couldnt remember the name.

[Ghaz]

Seven mechs and two tanks, it looks like.

And a load of terrain!

You might be thinking of BT Encounters. Aces is the tabletop solo mode.

I don’t recall them saying if the scenarios can be played as one offs but the book has a two page layout for each scenario. I’m guessing that if they were connected as a campaign, it wouldn’t take too much to play them independently.

I'll be posting stream transcripts ASAP.

Our hero!

Same difference when boiled down to effectiveness.  A Rifleman on Clantech that Jumps.

[Youngblood]

The C 2 is very not the same amount of effectiveness as a IIC.

[ActionButler]

I can’t wait to get my hands on the Aces box. I don’t even care about the minis. Having a solo Alpha Strike option is a game changer.
