Battletech Mercinaries Kickstarter

Catalyst Games Lab has recently launched their new Kickstarter for BattleTech: Mercenaries and is smashing those stretch goals like a PPC through a Dodge Dart. As of this writing, Catalyst needed $50,000 to fund the project but with 23 days left in the campaign, they have reached more than $4.5 million! That’s a lot of C-bills.

I jumped in at the Recruit level, but I’ll likely buy a lot of the add-ons when I finally check out. Unlike a lot of other Kickstarters I’ve backed, this campaign has added a ton of cool swag to the stretch goals and it really is an incentive for more people to back the project. There are new maps, buttons, patches, “Salvage Boxes” (blind buy boxes of Mechs), challenge coins, novels, a metric $#!+ ton of new mechs and vehicles, t-shirts, comics… and there are tons of options within these choices to pick your favorite faction, clan, or merc group. Take my paycheck. All of it.

Man, it’s a good time to be a BattleTech fan.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.
