>>1604 Doesn't help that most people associate "8chan" with that other site.
>>2139 Yeah, it's an obviously poor choice of domain name, the fuck was creator thinking?

>>1448 Glad to find some of you at least, anyone paint anything
>>2221 Busy painting stuff for another game

which faction has the cocky Latinas?
>>2221 Working on one of the comstar level IIs as part of my merc unit. It's not going great, but I'm still having fun.
>>2249 former WoB or something?
>>2250 There's a couple of iterations of the unit that I've thought up, but I'll spare you the info dump on my totally original and not at all derivative donut steel mercs. All iterations could use some star league era mechs though, and I feel like those designs and their later variants are pretty evergreen.
>>2244 Basically almost all factions have some "Latin" representation (i hate that burger term tbh). But so far you have the Trinity worlds in the FWL, some representation on the DC, the Capellan March in the FS, and the TC.

Why didn't Marik help the Capellans during the 4th Succession War?
>>2255 Bro share the info dump. We're here, let's talk BT.
>>2499 Because they hate the CapCon too, they didn't want to get wrecked next, and, most importantly, they thought the plate joke was pretty funny and didn't want to ruin Hanse's moment. But really, the 4th SuccWar was going really well for the FedCom and the FWL didn't want to start a major war while the FedCom militaries were all right next door. They tried to get something going early on, but got slapped down pretty hard. After that, they were more preoccupied with the coming secession of Andurien.

>>2540 >I’ve personally coordinated millions of dollars’ worth of international shipping Coleman confirmed for being the dumbass behind shipping prices. But joking aside, this is pretty simple layout of what companies are looking at right now. Loren being a scumbag isn't going to change that basic math behind retail. From what he says, they'll still bring over a trickle of product so the game doesn't *totally* disappear from stores, but most stuff is getting halted. Trump is already talking about folding, so we'll see what happens in the next week. All I wanted were some celestials, but I can't imagine that happening until 2027 now.
>>2655 Either IWM or 3D printing anon...those are your options.
Holy shit /btg/ survived somewhat. Thought I was gonna have to bite the bullet & go to reddit or discord or something.

>>2655 >All I wanted were some celestials. Same, also the Demon and Spectral series too.
>>2655 >>2673 ComStar and WoB are so fucking fun, I legit can't understand why CGL want to just push more Clan shit and resurrect Clans

>>2716 Clans have guaranteed fans thanks to all the books, games and other media focused directly on them. Their uniqueness in culture thanks to said world build up has made them, in the minds of CGL, the poster child of the game. Ah well, at least the Hinterlands is pretty neat.
>>2663 >leddit Lefty gulag so authoritarian that makes the official forum seem like an anarch meeting >CGL discord dead server with only shills and newfags that know no better >/btg/ discord There is no war in Ba Sing Se
3d printing is higher quality now than anything IWM or catalyst can get out the door AND cheaper with better customer service I don't understand why anyone would want to keep using either of them to purchase models.
>>2716 >>2734 Clanshit would be fine if they did interesting shit with the Clans

So.... Am I the only one here now?
>>3242 Try again later, the activity may vary depending on the time zone. That said there are circa 94 anons in total still hanging around here per 8chan last estimation.
>>3242 In the battletech thread? possibly. There are others here though I am just not posting a lot right now. Do note that the vast majority of the site is Americans so they should be posting more later.
>>3242 No.
>>3275 So 4 of us then. This is going to be a great general.
>>3278 C'est la vie. Not every thread gets to be the prom queen.
>>1587 I was lost, out in the deepest reaches. What have I missed?
Hmm... No one seems to be around... I claim this general in the name of the Blessed Blake!
