FASA ceased producing BattleTech in 2001 and sold the franchise to WizKids. While pre-designed 'Mechs, vehicles, and other military units are provided with the game, a complex system of design rules allows players to create their own custom units even in the introductory boxed set.įASA Corporation published the first BattleTech game set in 1984 as BattleDroids, and throughout the '80s and '90s released a wide range of supplemental books and materials for the series. Of the units represented in the game, the most common are BattleMechs, also known as 'Mechs: large, semi-humanoid fighting machines controlled by human pilots. Players use two six-sided dice to determine variable results, such as whether a shot strikes its target and the location it hits. Paper record sheets provide detailed information about each unit, including its armament, armor and equipment, and are used to track damage, heat buildup, ammunition and various other data. The game has an extensive range of 1/285 scale miniatures.īattleTech is a turn-based multiplayer game, typically played on a map divided into hexagonal grids with figurines or counters representing military units. The term 'Classic' is used to differentiate the original game from variants and related games that have derived from it, such as MechWarrior: Dark Age.

BattleTech DesignersĬlassic BattleTech is a table-top wargame set in the fictional BattleTech universe that simulates combat between futuristic mechanized forces. For an overview of the franchise, see BattleTech. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.This article is about the board game. In any case, what do you all think? I hope you’re enjoying this little installment of me painting my metal battlemechs. If it wasn’t so dang expensive, or I had actually thought about it, I might have used Macrage Blue.

Remember though that the blue will be a slight shade darker once I get done with doing shading.Īlthough it does look very similar to a certain blue of ultramarines, they are different. I know it won’t be 100% accurate due to the fact that the Sigma Galaxy uses a green hued decal, but I think I’ll just be fine with the regular decals. I know the other day that I said that I was going to go with the Rasalhague Galaxy paint scheme, but I ordered Ghost Bear decals and don’t want them to go to waste. Here we are prior to painting, after being re-primed: Personally, I think it’ll turn out great, especially after shading is done. I was looking for a good color, a dark blue, to match the blue for the Sigma Galaxy. Last, putting on the base coat for my Mad Cat/Timberwolf. I’m still working at priming the base, but for all intents and purposes, he is done. I may see something later after it dries, but I’m calling it good for now.

This guy really is big, it took me two large dollops of paint to get about 2/3 of him primed…Īnd I still have a ways to go! Also, it doesn’t help that he has tons of nooks and crannies.

Here we have my big boy, my 100 ton Atlas.

I don’t expect this to be a very long post, mostly because I will be priming my two Inner Sphere mechs, and doing a base coat on my Clanner mech.Īlso, update on my shipment from Catalyst Game Labs, I got the link for my downloadable content, which I am guessing/hoping means my stuff is being shipped. Hey Dear Readers, today I’m going to continue on with painting my Battletech minis.
