My own 15mm Battletech project (Rifleman added)
« on: September 21, 2020, 05:01:10 PM »
Inspired by Gamer Mac's thread I started printing my own mechs at 15mm scale. Troops are 15mm Khurasan for scale.

That scale works perfectly! You can really feel the "ground-stomp" experienced by the infantry standing next to the mech.

Nice. I'd love to see some of the bigger mechs at that scale.

Oh, I'll be posting them. Painting a Wolverine now. It's next step up Medium, But I have a few Assault mechs. They look grand at this scale.

That looks really cool! You guys and your printers...  ;)

Nice one Jay! 8)

Are you planning on using Battletech rules or is there a Fist Full of Epic Lead coming? ;)

Battletech is a fine game, but doesn’t hold up to dozens of mechs on the table. I have great nostalgia for it. I don’t need to write new rules, I have Bigger Battles. I’ll be building the mechs using the Starfighter rules. Just making a few new weapon types.

I've got another one I want to paint up then I'll do a group shot. So far they've been scale to each other. I've been blowing up the 6mm 250%, so as long as the source files are right, mine are. I had to fudge the Thunderbolt to get it on the printer. Only 240%

You could always try Alpha Strike, it is designed for larger battles (company+ per side)
