Scouring Sands Sortie 11
A rough match. We stormed the enemy base, but our King Crab, Fire Moth, and Blackjack went down to do it. We also lost too foot points of local troops who bravely helped locate the enemy thumpers.
Great game.
Our mechs were salvageable, but two named pilots are wounded and will miss the next mission.

Do Quad mechs have any different game mechanics in Alpha Strike?

The Zaku project produced some very strong successes, unfortunately, the Zakutank was not one of them. Its weaponry was fine, but was mounted on the tank body instead of on the mech, restricting its usage, and the unit never made it past the early production stage.

Do people usually play formation rules for Alpha Strike? They seem a bit unbalanced and the Point Value doesn't account for them.

Back to painting on the rest of my bullshit. After this, I think I'm going to dodge back to some non-battletech stuff, I'm starting to burn out on batch painting even simple paint schemes.

Lyran Manticore VSTOL Aerofighter, Battletech Gothic.
Not nearly as fast as most fighters, or even bombers, the Manticore's agility is so far beyond them that it has a record of suddenly pivoting and snatching unwary fighters straight out of the air, using its strong tail stinger to inject a foreign agent into their fuel tank, and letting go to fly away as the ship explodes behind.

Got the base ready for final detailing, the mini attached, all the fur blocked in, and the shadows/depths for the wings. Also, the nearly black brown for the tail. The hard part is going to be fitting the Lyran Commonwealth color scheme onto the armor and getting the heraldry on. Maybe I can "tattoo" the heraldry on the wings, like it's a WIGE.

Behold, thou gentles, for I have returned, and am very much back on my bullshit.

I have a mixed relationship with Battletech.
The 2nd ed boxed set and maps all over the floor was my first experience. The game took seconds in game, but many hours in real time. Still, I loved the concept. Yeah, mechas are goofy and makes no sense, whatever.
When I bought and tried Alpha Strike it was as if all the promise of the game had been fulfilled! Big games of combined arms where possible. Just imagine. I will never play Classic again as long as I live.

The innovative development from the SEED program, the Skygrasper is a battlefield delivery aerospace fighter, dropping equipment to Strike Gundam as needed. It shown here with the maneuver pack, ready for delivery.
The skygrasper can make use of the modules itself, as well, including the sword and launcher, and earned its first stripe by spearing a drone with the sword midair.

The same test mech, this time with a giant plasma sword, its cutting blade capable of lopping a limb off anything short of an assault mech, or getting some extra reach with the conventional metal blade on the tip.
The white stripe is indicative of progress in testing, with each successful test widening the stripe, until the torso and head are all white, ready for production.

The Draconis Combine went large, eschewing the unsamurailike shields in favor of giant fucking weapons, in this case a (two) hand held heavy gauss rifle, caught here mid-flight as the test pilot improvised a partial jump jet maneuver to offset the kick of the rifle, thrusting him backward a good thirty meters.
This maneuver was clipped and used for the sizzle reel, obviously.

I think that's all the red done, and the grey stripe down the center as well. Just need to finish the weapons and maybe do the glow of the eyes in the head, if I'm feeling it, then it's attitude of the knife time.

Close enough to done to mount on the bases for easier handling.

More base work today. The paint scheme is pretty simple, so I'll probably finish it tomorrow morning.

And now the magenta is mostly gone. It'll stay there, down in the shadows, unobtrusively making things look better. The unsung hero of the minis.

And so it begins. Bases are imprinted and drilled, sides filed smoothish, and primer laid down, a nice quinacridone magenta for my shadow color.

What's up my thudes! This time we are heading to weebville, the Draconis Combine, who are probably mighty pissed other people are stealing their valuable cultural heritage, Mobile Suit Gundam. I have assigned them the Gundam SEED miniatures, because somebody's gotta take 'em.

Scouring Sands
Mission 2 (Sortie 5)My commander’s King Crab took the brunt of the attacks for two turns and was destroyed, but it gave us a chance to pick off other mechs and forced two to withdrawal after turn 2.
Successful defense of the city, but my commander was injured and will miss the next sortie.

The Steiners are big fans of large melee weapons, and while they didn't have access to the plasma sword, instead they ran a heat sink access directly to the engine and ran the heat directly out to the blade of a big axe, dubbed the Heat Tomahawk. Bleeding off excess heat from secondary weapons by giving it to your opponent is a nice bonus to the sheer damage it does.

The handheld Thunderbolt 20 launcher is substantially more threatening than the UAC10, and massed fire can put out a frightening amount of firepower at long range. It lacks the critical-seeking efficiency of an LRM20, but that's a sacrifice the Steiner are willing to make. A mech with no center torso is just as destroyed, after all.
