Hello fellow LAF members. I am sure most of you know about Classic Battletech and that it is normally a boardgame. Some people however play it on tabletop terrain with modified rules. I am going to mix the two together and I am going to do it on the large side of things:
Japanese N-scale, which is 1/150 scale, and miniatures from a lot of sources (mostly unseens, coming as Japanese plastic model kits).
I aim at a size of one CBT mapsheet being a tabletop area of roughly 1.20m x 1.80m (48" x 72"). My project will include bases for trees (to make light and heavy woods), structures (commercial, civilian, industry and maybe even some military), hills, rivers, lakes and obviously vehicles/infantry and Mechs.
Sources for all of these will be scale model kits from Japanese Anime shows (macross, dougram etc), Mechwarrior Dark Age minis (repaints) and some harder to obtain limited run resin models or Ral Partha Museum Scale.
I am still waiting for my hotzmats hex mats to have a large scale mapsheet - so bear with me if there are no hexes on my pics yet.
My models will include House Davion (Federated Suns) 3rd Crucis Lancers, House Kurita (Draconis Combine) 1st Sword of Light Regiment, Clan Wolf Beta Galaxy, Clan Smoke Jaguar Delta Galaxy and who knows - maybe even one Mercenary Unit (not yet decided).
I actually started with this already three years back - I just never got around showing it off in all forums I am member in.
I also have to point out to my plans of using Tomorrow's War rules (from Ambush Alley Games) for my engagements that won't include Mechs (or maybe not many at least), but infantry and tanks only. I could have gone with Battletroops and Clantroops (who remembers those games?), but I think TW will be far superior rules, given the plenty of possibilities that they already include. So don't you wonder why my very, very small scale infantry is based as singles (!!!).
I've been busy with creating tree stands for my games recently and can annoucne that so far 16 have been accomplished. I try to assemble and paint always in groups of eight bases. That's three stands of Light Woods and one stand of Heavy Woods per four bases created. I am looking for a total of roughly 40 of these bases.
On a tabletop of 1.20m x 1.80m (48" x 72") that will create enough forrest to resemble a single CBT mapsheet in N-scale.
I have also carried my completed lances and the first few of my buildings over to my best mates' house and took some pics of the Scout Lances in actual terrain (note that I still haven't received my ordered hexmats).

Looks promising, especially if you do a whole city scape :D

Sweet! Great looking stuff. I really like the Mongoose and raven especially. My group has recently started using terrain for classic battletech. If you look a few post down you can see my thread. It's really the only way to play. It runs so much better. By the way I'm pretty sure Reaper's CAV is also N scale and they have infantry too if you are looking for more resources.
-
Thanks for the comments. I might check out Reaper's CAV infantry bits, thanks for the intel.
And there it is: yet another Mech has been finished. This one is a modefied 1/200 scale Macross "Spartan" kit which I combined with parts from a Gashapon action figure from the same TV show.
Weighing in with an impressive 70 tons, the ARC-2R Archer is a heavy-hitting assault Mech, bombarding defenders over long distances with salvos of long-range-missiles.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/Archerstridingbaysclosed.jpg)
This front shot shows my modifications to the upper torso (left and right). I cut off the original missile bays (cause you can't open them) and replaced them with those from an action figure from Macross.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/archerstridingbaysclosedbackshot.jpg)
Looking at the back of the Archer, you see no real difference to the original 1/200 kit.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/archerstandingsidebaysopen.jpg)
Now here is what does make the difference: the Archer with opened missile bays.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/archerstandingbaysopensideview.jpg)
Left and right, mounted into the battle fists, the Archer is equipped with Diverse Optics Type 18 Medium Lasers.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/archerstandingbaysopenfrontshot.jpg)
The main weapon system however is the twin racks of Doombud Long Range Missiles (LRM-20) mounted in the left and right torso.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/archerstandingbaysopenbackshot.jpg)
In between the two missile bay doors you can see the barrels of the rear-mounted Diverse Optics Type 18 Medium Lasers. These aren't sufficient to sustain enough damage to any attacker but they are a nasty surprise nonetheless.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/archerbaysopendetail.jpg)
Ample bombardment for a long time period... the Archer feels at home in siege battle.
...off to the next one.
-
Very nice :-* I like the missile bays, it certainly adds an extra level of detail 8)
cheers
James
-
Awesome work. I always loved the Archer ;)
Looking forward to seeing more. Any chance of a Batrep? :D
-
Now that's very nice! I did a couple of kits and scratchbuilds in that scale a couple of years ago, but never got very far, sadly enough. It makes me want to dig out some 1/144 Gundams and that 1/60 Wolverine I have lying around somewhere, though...
-
The pride of the Lyran Commonwealth, the ZEU-6S "Zeus", is the latest addition to my growing Davion forces. Some of the Mechs have found their way into House Davion's service.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/ZeusStriding.jpg)
Apart from the base this is an unmodified out-of-the-box built Ral Partha Europe Museum Scale "Zeus" Mech to add more heavy-weight fighting power to my Davion battleforce. As it is made from pewter it indeed is "heavy" :P
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/ZeusLRM15.jpg)
The arm-mounted Coventry Star Fire LRM-15 system gives the heavy machine a hard punch over long distances.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/ZeusLaserarea.jpg)
The torso-mounted energy-based weapon systems include the Defiance B3M Medium Laser system (center) and a larger Thunderbolt A5M Laser system (left torso). These give the Zeus a really destructive output over medium and close ranges. The decals are from Fighting Pirannha Graphics.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/ZeusFront.jpg)
Note the House Davion "Federated Suns" emblem on the right knee pad and the antennas I have added to the cockpit. I really like the TRO 3025 look of the Zeus - especially this mean shot of the "business end" of the large war machine :twisted:
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/Zeusback.jpg)
The rear of the Mech shows various ports of the heat sinks. All panel lines were washed using thinned black oil paint.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/ZeusAK20.jpg)
The Zeus main weapon of choice: a Defiance Autocannon (AC/5).
Off to paint more Mechs now. Stay tuned!

a little Kurita love for a change.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/GrandDragonstriding.jpg)
The DRG-1G Grand Dragon. One of House Kurita's very own designs, produced by Luthien Armor Works, reinforcing my Sword Of Light units.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/GrandDragonfront.jpg)
Offensive capabilities are based upon a center torso mounted LRM-10 launcher.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/GrantDragonback.jpg)
Back details include unit insignia, heat sink vents and back banner.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/GrandDragonmediumlaser.jpg)
Left arm, sporting unit insignia (ivory dragon crest) and a Victoy 23R Medium Laser.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/GrandDragonPPC.jpg)
Right arm bearing a Lord's Thunder PPC.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/GrandDragoncherryblossomsashimonobanner.jpg)
Details of the upper torso: once again with the cherry blossom theme and a sashimono (back banner). Left and right of the cockpit are another pair of Medium Lasers.
Off to the painting table for more mechs...
-
Some heavier stuff... (Longbow and Rifleman are converted former Robotech action figures, the Shadow Hawk a plastic kit)
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/shadowhawkgiants.jpg)
-
Great looking stuff. For me, Battletech always felt like a game that should be played at a larger scale. If you are going to have a full sheet on a mini, it deserves a bigger model!
-
Fantastic stuff man. I used to dislike the clickytech stuff greatly. Hate is definitely not too strong a word, actually. As a battletech player for some time I had REALLY been looking forward to it and when the first set arrived I couldn't have been more bitterly disappointed. Spent a ton of money on it and all I got were aggro and construction mechs and vehicles ruled the system. It was only a few years ago I started to come around to it, mostly because of the awesome models and what people like you were doing with em.
http://s295.beta.photobucket.com/user/darrin-teigen/library/ (http://s295.beta.photobucket.com/user/darrin-teigen/library/)
Anyone even slightly interested needs to check out Spaceman Spiff's gallery of mechwarrior models. He's quite active on the official CBT forums and is amazingly productive. He used to post a lot of conversions and repainted japanese kits too, but much of his newer stuff is mostly custom sculpts. Very inspiring stuff, both his and yours.
-
The latest addition to my House Davion troops is an icon of the Classic Battletech universe and hence not to be missing in my force: the WHM-7M "Warhammer".
This miniature started its life as an 3" tall plastic toy/action figure for Exo Squad, where it is known as Destroid Tomahawk. I gave it a full repaint and a minor conversion (see below).
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/DSCF2018.jpg)
The front shot in a dynamic pose that every BattleTech fan will recognize immdiately. :wink:
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/warhammerfront.jpg)
With a weight of 70 tons the Warhammer isn't the heaviest Mech of all times, nor is it on the upper end of the heavy class, but it is for sure a fearsome enemy. It stands taller than most other warmachines and its wide array of weapons left its mark on many battlefields.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/warhammeruppertorsodetails.jpg)
The detail shot of the upper torso reveals the shoulder mounted Shannon SRM-6 rack and the O/P 1500 ARB tracking system on the opposite side. Below, just over the hip the muzzles of the two Martell Medium Lasers.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/warhammerleftsidePPC.jpg)
The left side arm-mounted Fusigon Longtooth Particle Projector Cannon has an extended range capacity. Visible above the PPC, mounted to the torso, you can see the gatling gun of the Anti Missile System.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/warhammerrightsideppcsrmlauncher.jpg)
The other arm bears the same PPC, increasing the deadly firepower significantly. Above, on the torso, the 7M variant bears a Lindblad LFN Machine Gun which enhances the anti-infantry capabilities.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/warhammerback.jpg)
This back shot reveals the details of the Magna 280 engine and heat sink grilles.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/phalanx.jpg)
This pic shows a ship-mounted "Phalanx" gatling gun system. These are mounted on modern-day naval vessels to destroy incoming missiles before they hit the ship. My inspiration came from this pic to realize something similar on my Mech.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/warhammerantimissilesystemplacement.jpg)
The picture reveals torso details of the unpainted Exo Squad toy. As you can see it has two dome-shaped barrels to resemble the original 6R variant's two small lasers. I cut off the one marked with the red X and used the other as radar dome of the Anti-Missile-System. I bought 1/48 scale Minigun barrels made from resin that normally go onto an aircraft (AC 130 Spectre Gunship) and added one next to the "radar". See the results below:
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/warhammerantimissile.jpg)
Note the torso mounted (right side of the pic) Lindblad Shotgun Anti-Missile-Sytem. The white dome resembles the radar and the minigun is my proxy for a rapid firing defense system that will destroy incoming missiles in mid air before they hit the Warhammer. Hope you like its look 'cause I think it looks awesome
-
Glad to see your work here (I've subscribded your topic on Warseer)! And your blog is great too ;)
-
Yep, awesome! Following your stuff on Warseer was what got my mind turning about using up my excess Robotech minis to do a Battletech game as well. That's on a backburner way at the back of the stove right now. I love your stuff.
-
next one:
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/HatamotoChiactionshotfront.jpg)
Next Mech ready to deploy (apart from Sword Of Light decals not yet added): 80 ton HTM-27T "Hatamoto Chi".
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/HatamotoChiPPCside.jpg)
Left arm sporting a Tiegart PPC. Note the back banner that I have added, using a plastic part from Zvezda's 1/72 samurai box.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/HatamotoChiSwordside.jpg)
Detail of the right arm: Katana sword (custom variant, the HTM-27T normally doesn't have one) and a second Tiegart PPC.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/HatamotoChibackbanner.jpg)
Details of the back include the banner (sashimono) and sword+flame emblem of House Kurita's elite regiments.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/HatamotoChifront.jpg)
Front shot reveals the two torso mounted Bical SRM-6 Missile Racks and the cherry blossom theme that I am trying to add to all Kurita Mechs so they don't end up being simply painted red all around.
Off to the painting table. The Coordinator needs more war machinery!
-
Its been a while since I finished the last Mech. This time I have kit-bashed an Armored Valkyrie kit from Macross with a Gashapon action figure off ebay. Torso and shoulders are from the kit, legs and lower arms from the action figure. The lower arms and shoulders can re-posed as I did not glue them on.
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Plasmasturm/Tomorrows%20War/Crusaderaction_zps6fc2ef3a.jpg) (http://s104.photobucket.com/user/Plasmasturm/media/Tomorrows%20War/Crusaderaction_zps6fc2ef3a.jpg.html)

"The Crusader has a well-deserved reputation as a reliable, versatile Mech. Commonly found in command and fire lances, the Mech is equally at home
alongside Marauders and Thunderbolts in close-assault units. Some versions
have even served as scout Mechs, but this is rare."

Absolutely stunning. Looking forward to Bat Reps and terrain updates. :)
-
Really well painted. Funny thing is that I'm currently interesting myself again on battletech (in the same time I'm building heroscape 3d terrain).
The only thing I don't understand is why you choosed another scale than the official 6mm-1/300 ?
-
I must admit this topic, along with Spacemanspiffs awesome blog is getting me thinking about larger scale battletech!
I think the sheer size of the mechs on the table compared with the 6mm allows for a better visual spectacle so can totally understand moving up scale!
Another plus seems to be the cost. It's actually often cheaper to buy the plastic bits and bobs and clicky stuff than the metal 6mm stuff as an average mech from ironwind or ral partha seems to retail around £7-£8 which is a tad expensive!
All the best!
-
Actually, I have chosen the larger scale cause in the beginning I was not going to use the CBT rules. That has changed now, but I already had some 50 Mechs...
I am using Tomorrow's War for infantry and vehicle warfare and CBT Miniature Rules for mostly Mech battles.
Speaking of Infantry: here are some re-based clicky tech figures..

These infantry clix figures, are they 6mm or 10mm ?

They are more or less 10mm, almost 12mm.

This just gets better and better. I'm about to ebay a bunch of 1/200 stuff...and I keep thinking whether or not I should try a Battletech game in this scale...but I think I'll be tied up once the 1/285th Palladium stuff comes out.
-
I like the Atlas okay (that particular figure isn't that great). I'd have a hard time not using one of the gorgeous 1/48 VOTOMs (what it was based on anyway)
(http://www.jjj-shop.com/jjj/Image/Gundam/VOTOMS/ARMORES_TROOPER_VOTOMS_ATM-09-ST_SCOPEDOG_1_20_PLASTIC_MODEL_KIT_BANDAI_NIB.jpg)
Just a bit of conversion work needed...I think the 1/48 would actually scale well too - a little bit larger, but the Atlas is farkin' huge anyway! lol

An 1/144 kit (should have used the smaller 1/200 that is available as well) to represent an unseen Goliath

-
Eh, from looking at the 1/144 stuff I handled while building my 1/200 Robotech stuff, I didn't find it that off-scale...especially for something like Battletech where mech sizes are supposed to vary significantly. Did you get the big box of mecha from that cartoon series? (The griffin, goliath...the show name escapes me). Hobby Link Japan had a full set for very cheap, not sure if it's sold out:
Dougram, this 10-kit set. Sadly looks to be discontinued. I see several mechs though: http://www.hlj.com/product/DYS50000/Sci
Goliath
Griffin
Battlemaster
Thunderbolt
(and several other Griffin models it looks like)
Would have been a cool grab, and for pretty darned cheap.
-
Got two of the Dougram 30th anniversary boxes already two years ago. (Remember my Shadow Hawk, its one of those kits) Good kits, all of them. I should start some of my Marauders soon (Got four of them). But currently I am working on more Clanners.
-
Shadow Hawk! That's the one I couldn't name...but recognized it (very Griffin-like I think). Cool, awesome stuff. So you have a Battlemaster in the pipeline eventually? (one of my all-time favourite Battlemechs).

Of course. :D
-
I can't recall which book it was...as I read a heapin' load of Battletech novels as a kid, but the main character had a Battlemaster. Just a cool freakin' mech. If I ever stumble upon some Dougram stuff for cheap I think that would push me over the edge to start a similar project! lol

Having only 10 heat sinks, the RFL-3N is inadequate for constant fire. Most of its dissipating heat is vented on its back, using large grilles.

excellent Modeling/painting as usual Chris :-*
i wonder if 1/144 Kits could work as light Mechs/Power Armour for my 25mm GZG Stuff (i'm using 1/72 Scale Kits so far...) ???

I'm about to sell off a huge heap of 1/200 Nichimo kits - are you looking for anything in particular before I do?
-
Hi,
Your minis are really cool :o
Could you post some comparison picture, to see the scale diference ? I'm not figuring it very well...
ANother thing I'm not sure to understand, is how do you make all these mechs ? If I understand correctly, you're using museum scale minis from official range, but there is only a few available...How do you make the other ones ?
Any detailed pictures of the work in progress process ? would be very interesting. Once again, your minis are great, but I'm pretty sure there is A LOT MORE work behind these cool robots...
-
@sundayhero: there are only a few of my Mechs from Ral Partha's official Museums Scale range. The others are Gashappons (multi-posable Japanese action figures), plastik kits (Nichimo, Arii and old 80's vintage Revell) in various scales, action figures from Robotech and Exo Squad (3 inch) or resin kits. Some Mechs also are nothing but repainted official Mechs from Mechwarrior Dark Age (by WizKids). It needs a lot of try and error to find those scales that look good next to each other. Sometimes you have to do the trick and increase the base hight to keep the Mech's appearance back in scale with others. My Atlas for example is actually the tallest Mech although the miniature itself is not. I am a battlech fan but I am no scale-nazi. If its looking good on the table I am fine with that. Scales of the Dougram kits or Macross Veritechs differ and are all either 1/200, 1/170 or 1/144. Some should be a little taller, others could be a little smaller. But that's what you have to deal with if you try playing a game with official miniatures and yet avoiding using those. lol

Thanks for the explanation !
Are the mechwarrior heroclix minis easy to find in Europe ?

Interesting ! I'd be happy to see a scale comparison pic if you have it ;)
Nice job anyway :-*

Since my internet and phone line broke down last Friday evening I had a little time (read: no distraction) and spent it on the painting table, cleaning and priming 10 more 40k Space Marines and paint up the Mech shown below. Ok, the Mech really only has gotten a quick paintjob without too many details being available on the miniature to begin with - but I kind of like it anyways. Maybe because I am an Archer fan?!
Thank god f#+!ing Telekom fixed my phone line so I am back and connected to all of you! I missed the forums. 8)

The action figure lacks a lot of the detail that plastic kit has, but at least its closer in scale with my other heavy Mechs.

looks awesome,as for the Lack of Details: my 1/72 Spartan Kit has fake Missile Pods too (although they're showed open on the Cover Artwork >:D)
-
Remember these were absolutely dirt cheap kits in Japan, in 1982...you can't expect too much. I mean some of these were sold in vending machines... lol
-
Really nice. I love your painting on these mini's.
You mentioned using a hex map, is that necessary? Could you play without the hexes?
I haven't really played Battletech but have a couple old Fasa mechs and the rules and funny they are on display with my micro armour which is 1/285. I never thought of N scale for Battletech as it seemed to big to me. The Japanese N scale is 1/150? Is that smaller than N scale model railroading here in USA?
Anyways you have some great things happening here, I would love to play.
-
Battletech has always been pretty suitable to larger scales actually (far moreso than say, Robotech). The mechs are generally quite slow, and the weapons are rarely mentioned shooting super far (even in the novels). So the idea of a game this scale actually works. Even better if you're going more Battleforce style - a handful of mechs and infantry/armor (the most ignored elements of the Battletech universe).
If you judge the universe by the PC games also, you'd be at home engaging other mechs within 200-600 yards. I think it's a nice adaptation. The scale would also be fantastic for Solaris games - perfectly scaled actually. That would be pretty cool, seeing a big Solaris mechadome or something. :D I always forget how much I really loved the Battletech universe (although I never enjoyed the game as it was produced).
-
I posted a small game report with my recon class Mechs over on my BLOG (http://smallscaleoperations.blogspot.de/2013/07/last-mech-standing.html) for those interested. Here is a random pic...

Why do I get the feeling the Mongoose pilot is saying "AWWW COME ON GUYS!? Really!?" lol
Always loved the Mongoose, one of the few FASA designs I really took to.

So, its done. Only one thing remains to do: decals for FRR and the 1st Tyr unit markings. Both are ordered but will take their time until they arrive at mine. I will post an updated picture once they are applied.

I've been following your thread with a lot of interest, as I've been toying with this idea for years. The (for me and my collection) new scale has kept me back so far though.
One of the first miniature wargames I ever played (if not THE first), was Classic BatleTech (before it was even called Classic ;) ). I had the Battletech Compendium, a Revell Warhammer/Excalibur/Tomahawk model and some plastic soldiers. So me and a school buddy played a CityTech scenario on a map drawn on a large sheet of paper (A2 size).
He played the infantry and got completey annihilated. I especially enjoyed the moment I walked my Mech through a low building to get to some soldiers hiding in there. :D
Of course the roles were reversed next and I got my forces reduced to pink mist as well, but it was great, great fun. :)
So your idea of using larger scale mechs appeals to me a lot.
You mention using kits of different scales, and also Gashapon mechs. But to my eye, only going by Ebay and other internet pictures, those Gashapon are pretty small. Since you're working in N-scale, most Mechs should size up to approximately 7 centimeters, if we go with an average height of 10 or so meters. So do they match up?
I was thinking of going 15mm / 1/100 myself, making everything even larger, because, well, with Mechs, larger is always better. (My life's ambition would of course be fully functional Mechs in 1/1 scale ;) ). But I suppose in this scale, the Gashapons are out of the question.
Also, there's quite a discrepancy in scale, even within ranges of the same manufacturer. I've got a Quadluun Rau in 1/144, which I've converted to contain a 28mm sized cockpit, and it's still huge! Imagine its comparative size when matched with other 1/144 scaled stuff ::) (Ok; I know Zentraedi are supposed to be 10 meters tall themselves, but come on...)
So I think cherrypicking Mechs to match their BattleTech sizes might be best, from a range of scales like 1/200, 1/144, 1/100 and maybe even 1/76. But finding the actual sizes of the kits online is right chore at times. You'd say at least height would be stated, but only the box sizes are usually given (plus the fictional height of the Mech). So it's pretty hard to gauge the size of the kit you're looking at.
The fact they're usually photographed against a blank background does not help either. :?
But for now, I'll round off my ramblings with a list of questions that popped up reading your thread:
- How do you do the size matching thing? Or do you simply end up with a lot of off-sized Mechs?
- Where's the Locust from? Not-anthropomorphic Mechs are not the easiest to find (exception is the Marauder/Glaug of course ;) ).
- How do the original metal Battletech infantry scale? Are they acceptable as 15mm, or are they smaller?
- How do the Clix infantry and vehicles scale? are they simply scaled to match their bases, or is there a standardisation? And what scale would that be? (This in regard to Elementals...)
- Have you considered playing without a hex-grid? It's about the only aspect of the game I'm not too fond of; the grid detracts from the overall terrain look IMHO...
And finally; please keep going; your project is very inspirational! 8)

But for now, I'll round off my ramblings with a list of questions that popped up reading your thread:
- How do you do the size matching thing? Or do you simply end up with a lot of off-sized Mechs?
A long time of try and error. I pick whatever comes closest to what I (personally) imagine the Mechs to look like. Do I have a Banshee that isn't as tall as my Warhammer although it is much heavier? Yes, I do. Does it matter? No. Not to me.
But of course I try to find scales that doesn't make them look too much off. Right now its a mix of 1/144, 1/200, 1/170 and roughly 3" tall action figures. Works for me.
- Where's the Locust from? Not-anthropomorphic Mechs are not the easiest to find (exception is the Marauder/Glaug of course ;) ).
It was built from scratch and casted in resin for more copies. AFAIK its no longer sold. When they were still around the web I bought four of them.
- How do the original metal Battletech infantry scale? Are they acceptable as 15mm, or are they smaller?
Do you mean Battletech or Mechwarrior clicky tech? The pewter are too small. The clicky tech ones individually based come close enough in size to fit the cockpits of the Mechs in my scale. NO, they aren't acceptable in 15mm. Clicky tech men without base are only 10mm tall.
- How do the Clix infantry and vehicles scale? are they simply scaled to match their bases, or is there a standardisation? And what scale would that be? (This in regard to Elementals...)
No scale whatsoever. Its gaming figures, they don't have a scale and it seems like they are made in totally different sizes to begin with. The infantry looks ok next to my Mechs, the vehicles are too small. They are looking especially out of scale when you place soldiers next to them. But I don't care - its about the look of the vehicles matching my Technical Readout's drawings, not about the size. In addition to that I put my vehicles onto bases, to increase the height.
- Have you considered playing without a hex-grid? It's about the only aspect of the game I'm not too fond of; the grid detracts from the overall terrain look IMHO...
And finally; please keep going; your project is very inspirational! 8)
I have played without hexgrid. I have the old Miniature-Rules and I also own the new Alphastrike Rules. I don't care about the hexfields. They are alright if there is 3D terrain on top. I just never liked the plain battle-maps where trees or so are just printed on top.

So, I spent some hours painting this Saturday:

Awesome stuff. This thread inspired me to pick up a couple old Battletech technical readouts (not sure where my originals are...). Just to peruse through and enjoy.

Kurita vs. Davion, bringing all IS units that have been finished so far
Best mate and myself have enjoyed our first game of Alpha Strike today. We love it. We already like CBT very much but this is just awesome. Alpha Strike enables us to play with large quantities of Mechs (even in our bigger scale) without too much book keeping.
We brought all units that I had painted up so far, in total 135 vs 136 points.
Kurita:
Kanazuchi Battle Armor
Locust
Stinger
Wasp
Mongoose
Hatamoto Chi
Dragon
Archer
Scorpion
Rifleman
Longbow
Warhammer
Atlas
Davion:
Stinger
Raven

A Davion Stinger jumped over the building in an attempt to kill the Whammy (one inner structure point remaining) but missed its shot! My Warhammer returns the favour and blasts it to pieces.

The city turns into a scrapyard: my Rifleman gets shot by the Banshee but in turn headshots (rolled 12 on critical hits!) the Zeus :-) A little later the Banshee gets wasted by the Atlas.

Having taken out the Banshee and Zeus on the right flank, my center force is backed up by Hatamoto and Atlas. Ready to steam roller attack the Davions.

The Atlas walks through the Davion line and leaves behind burning hulks of twisted metal. My Archer got missile bombed by Longbow and Crusader and killed with the final shot: by a Locust!
The game ended with a Kurita victory. Last Mechs standing on my side: Atlas (nearly fresh), Longbow (heavily dented), Warhammer (only held together by sheer willpower), Stinger (only one point of structure). Mechs on Davion side still standing: none.
Can't wait for the next weekend for another match!

Nice report and minis !
Lucky you are to have friends to play with. I abandonned the idea of buyin alpha strike because of the lack of players, or solid mech combat solo rules :( In fact I abandonned any 2 players game ::)
-
Nice set of photos. Has me seriously considering pulling out the ~50 half painted ones I have, stripping them and painting them all in 1 scheme.
-
Very cool...though as with my similar 1/200 scale project I did a while ago I really want to see a game like this on a much larger table. Almost does them a disservice to see Battlemechs 25 yards apart shooting. lol Gorgeous paint though, and I love the work you've done with the project.
-
Excellent stuff. Nice to see you laying your beautifully painted mechs on their side when blown up! Who made the best explosion noises?

More Alpha Strike!
Me and the best mates were meeting again today to have our usual Sunday-afternoon battle. Since Alpha Strike was well received, we picked to play with our Mechs again.
One of my friends hasn't played AS yet so he was eager to give it a try. I decided to let the boys handle my two painted armies and acted as advisor/referee - in other words, I had to flick through the rules if we didn't know something ^^
Anyway, the same figures as last time were used and Kurita once again kicked Davion's a$$. I did not take pictures throughout the whole match but here are some for fun anyways:

Finally... the Beast has arrived! 85 ton "Stalker". I got four copies of this huge Mech, this one goes into line with my 1st Sword Of Light Kurita forces, one will be 3rd Crucis Lancers RCT (Davion), one 1st TYR Regiment of Rasalhague and one is going into House Steiner's service. *evil grin*
