Battletech: Black Sheep dropship inbound

[beefcake]

They put an extra salvage box in for everyone so I guess not too much of a problem. I can't even remember what I pledged for, I may have grabbed some vehicles, don't really know. We'll see when it arrives.
Those ones look cool. I love the colour scheme of the ones on the right.

I'm guessing you're probably American then?
Outside of the USA most of us backers are less enthralled - we were promised domestic shipping rates, now have to pay international shipping rates and still no products in sight. I'm now hoping that my stuff arrives before my birthday in October but honestly, Christmas or next year seems more likely. It all seemed like a very well run kickstarter, CGL building on their past successes, then they changed shipping companies and it all fell apart at that point.
It does seem like the only customers CGL are concerned about are the American ones - the rest of the world appears to be a bit of an embarrassment to them at the moment but we'll see what happens when (or if) I get a complete delivery.
Aside from that, the Mercenaries set does look good, can't wait to get mine and the extras, then there's the AS Aces set to look forward to. Interesting times and I've enjoyed playing a form of AS since the '90's (but that's another story!)

I am an American, yes.  Sorry to hear it is not going well across the pond.  It is a shame as it is nice stuff. 

Currently I'm working on a recon lance for the 21st Centauri, a lance for my Black Sheep, and some elementals for Clan Sea Fox.  My son asked about a star for another clan, so I painted up a Crossbow and the Blood Asp from the set in Spina colors.  I'll see if I can get some photos once the elementals are done.

First of a Clan Star (I will print the rest once I get my printer fixed).  Blood Asp is from the kickstarter, I had the Crossbow and then added the elementals.

I've based most of my battle armor 2 to a base, and this just makes the elementals match the rest of the bases (for the most part infantry 4 to a base or 3 for a command stand, PA at 2 to a base).  The Catalyst Elementals are nice and in scale, which is a frustration as the IWM stuff is all too big.

Looks greats. Like you I had a very long break from BT but it is still a fantastic universe. And actually in our club its popularity grows.

As for the KS, like Rick I'm still waiting on mine, same story really. Can't say i'm overly enthusiastic about supporting another KS, if there is one. Not because of the delays - those are to be expected in some ways - but because of CGLs communiction policy especially in regards of the rest of the world.

Nearing the end of the new pieces, two lances, a couple spares, and a visagoth to go.

4th Tau Ceti and Black Sheep lances geared up to slug it out.  The Tau Ceti were a fun departure, being all metallic.  They consist of a Charger, Scorpion, Vulcan, and a Whitworth.  The Black Sheep in their uniform grey/black are a Mauler, a Devestator, a Caesar, and a Marauder. I haven't yet thought up the nose art I want for each, so they are done for now.



To round things out I'll have a heavy recon lance for the Rough Riders, and probably another 8th Deneb lances (using the remaining cartoon pieces of a Wolfhound, Bushwhacker, Hatamoto-chi, and Axeman).  The Flea will probably be a spare Marik unit, and I haven't decided on the spare Devestator yet
