I was asked earlier about decals I use on my BattleTech minis. Of course I use FightingPirannahGraphics for faction insignia, and occasionally some GamesWorkahop or scale model (plane) ones. I also use a lot of decal sheets you can buy to detail mechs…🧵

@Locust_Labs @TheMechFrog Yeom- Oh wait. You said ‘pelvis’.

Can anyone guess what this mech is gone be just from its pelvis? #battletech

@realretroism Words to live by.

@TheMechFrog Old recipe Nuln Oil? Okay. New recipe Nuln Oil…maybe not.

Forget micro loans for fast food. How about micro loans for buying hobby supplies? I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a bottle of Nuln Oil today...

@themechyard Here’s the IWM and (my) CGL mini:

Day 198 and the waiting game sucks, let’s play Hungry Hungry Hippos! If you’re dealing with pirates making your life hell come see “Dirtbag” Steve to get something to take care of them. Chances are he sold the mechs to the pirates, anyway. So everybody wins! #Battletech

@themechyard Here’s the IWM and CGL minis (sorry, no time to compile the cards!):

Day 194 and rest assured that I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world. Sometimes “Dirtbag” Steve might not have exactly what you’re looking for but he’s damn sure got a reasonable facsimile thereof (or cheap knockoff). #Battletech

@ChuckPasadena @OmahaRenegade @OspreyGames Now at my books: combat armour includes a filter mask. The Exo-Suit has stats for the trooper when in it and out of it. Comes with carbine and hand weapon. Bonus melee damage, bonus to opening physical loot, can’t be pushed back, can’t climb, no encumbrance penalty and more.

@ChuckPasadena @OmahaRenegade @OspreyGames Exo suit. Not eco-suit. Bloody autocorrect.

Anyone play @OspreyGames #Stargrave ? Have they come out with rules for more power armor? If not, what do you do to add power armor, such as you want to run a WH40k-style game, or some other power-armor-clad characters from other universes? #ttrpg #tabletop #miniature

@themechyard And the cards. If you like jumping, take the E. If you want to stab ppl in the back, take the P for a 22” move and 5 damage at short range.

@themechyard IWM do a very cool, shooting-to-one-side mini👍 Not a lot of those poses around. And here’s a pic of my CGL Clan Goliath Scorpion one.

Day 191 and I'm here today as Luke Skywalker, but I'm also here... to talk about Sprint! It would be wonderful if we could all get along but “Dirtbag” Steve understands that some days you just can’t turn the other cheek and just need to leave a smoking crater #Battletech

@themechyard The AlohaStrike cards😉 No U variant🥺🤿

@themechyard Here’s the IWM and CGL minis:

Day 187 and I contend that those tourists were decapitated *before* they entered the Krustyland House of Knives “Dirtbag” Steve Top Tip: if every night everyone in the Mead Hall gets killed and eaten maybe, you know, stop going to the damn Mead Hall. #Battletech

@themechyard And here’s a link to that very article: sarna.net/news/bad-mechs…

@themechyard Originally named the “Tora” (虎, tiger). I like the look. Here’s the IWM mini and the AS cards. I put Eldonius’ pic from the Sarna Bad Mech article in there too:

Day 185 and am I so out of touch? No. It's the children who are wrong. It’s a beautiful day in the Deep Periphery, the kind of day where you just want to hop in your mech and scream “Aloha” until all the pirates are gone. “Dirtbag” Steve understands those days. #Battletech

@themechyard I forgot there is also the Sir Mortimer Bombito one out there:

@KierdaleModels The proportions of the CGL model are more aesthetically pleasing to me. The IWM model seems too wide

Day 184 and if I wanted to see a man eat an orange I’d have taken the orange eating class! Everyone is talking about the state of the union but “Dirtbag” Steve is more concerned that the state of the Deep Periphery remains “fighty” because that’s good for business #Battletech

@TheMechFrog Excellent stuff. You had a most productive day!👏👏👏

The eight mechs we finished today on the stream. #BattleTech

@themechyard I love that there’s an underwater operations one with torpedoes. Will have to use that one when we use our Monitors and Mauna Keas.🤔

@themechyard Here’s the IWM and CGL minis…and one of a 3D print that’s out there. Cards coming up…

@themechyard IWM make a nice mini, and CGL’s is in the Clan Heavy Star. I must mention the Supernova 4: any mech with OV4 is good in my book😆👍

Day 180 and the next time someone tells you that carny folk are good hearted people you can spit in their faces for me Well it’s Friday, and what better way to kick off the weekend than seeing just what mech “Dirtbag” Steve’s has barely contained in his Big Bag #Battletech
