Battletech: Legendary MechWarriors III Force Pack - First Look

[@joemurphy1189]

That idea about the insert and being able to flip it to reveal a scenario/force organisation is genius!!!!

[@thedocklighter]

I hope the QC issues aren't a trend in their production. It was disappointing to see it on some iconic mechs, especially in a pack with the title "Legendary". Still, it's great having more of those iconic mechs, as well as the Loki and a two launcher Griffin.

[@TRLAuthor]

If they’re going to do themed legendary packs, they should do a Allard-Liao/Yen-Lo-Wan set. Versions of Yen for Justin, Kai, and Danai and maybe the Hatchetman Kai used on Twycross to make it a four pack.

[@verysilentmouse]

The symbol is a crossed out C-bill the bounty Hunter's motif. Cbill is a currency in universe.

[@mal2ksc77]

Yep. All these Mechs have been used by various iterations of the Bounty Hunter throughout the BT timeline. Bounty Hunter is the universe's Dread Pirate Roberts character.

[@WRXSEVEN]

Yep. And after the demise of ComStar and rise of Clan Sea Fox... we get the "Sea-bill"

[@dubuyajay9964]

Sea Fox uses the Kerensky. 🙄 ​@@WRXSEVEN

[@WRXSEVEN]

@@dubuyajay9964 Have you read Dominions Divided? Its been out for a year and references the Sea-Bill

[@KillerOrca]

@@dubuyajay9964 For inter-clan stuff, sure. Ever since they emigrated to the Inner Sphere however they've begun operating en fiat and essentially replacing ComStar's niche. Resulting in the Sea Fox marker of credit...unsurprisingly, named the Sea-Bill. (They are after all the merchant clan; marketing is one of their biggest sticking points) They also basically run the merc review board now because the OG ones rotten to the core and half dead.

[@Timuroslav]

on point with the quality control. Keep beating that drum younhave my support!

[@androssthered1157]

I wanted this one so badddddd. Gotta wait for it to be sold now. That Hellbringer II is a legit mech unlike the first iteration.

[@shanenice5380]

I got 4 of them.the hellbringer 5 thors.i liked those 2 clans 75 tons

[@dubuyajay9964]

Gonna have to share this vid with my gaming group.

[@davidcashin1894]

Though bulkier than mini-storage boxes I do have to say I like it when the box a mini comes in can also be a true storage box because it has the fitted plastic tray. Loved it for Dust, Wings of Glory, Zombicide, and now Battletech force packs. Now all I have to do is figure out marking the specific blisterforms so I consistently put the mech back in it's original spot. ;-)

[@robertwainwright3425]

Loving the Bounty Hunter and company. That 100 point Marauder II is scary the symbol is the mark of The Bounty Hunter. As for box art inserts I cut them out and trying to figure out a frame for them as a collage

[@davidkerber9280]

The PVs on many of these are so high because the Skill value is baked in (based on the named characters the 'Mechs go with.)

[@sep0319]

Got 2 of those too.

[@timunderbakke8756]

These look pretty cool. Plastic Loki II is awesome to see. Hope these do become available later on in their webstore. I’m kicking myself for not being in the Kickstarter but at the time my Battletech was not getting used a lot. Would have loved to share all this goodness with my foster-to-adopt kids that came along after the KS ended. Both my boys are interested in BT and each have a force pack box of their own. We’ll see how that develops over the years and maybe I can snag some more of this stuff on general release

[@Thearmedpainter]

@@timunderbakke8756 worth mentioning Death Ray Designs has lots of options for stuff that works well with Battletech too :)

[@Stormeris]

Be glad you didn't get into the Kickstarter as the stuff will show up on shelves quicker than most backers will be getting their stuff. (actually a lot of people have been seeing the kickstarter stuff showing up on random shelves already) And so many backers got completely screwed by the shipping costs. I myself had to pay 40% extra on top of my order for the shipping and i still haven't received anything with 0 news or information of when i'm getting my stuff.

[@robertwainwright3425]

Willing to bet they might show up in salvage boxes

[@timunderbakke8756]

@@Stormeristo date the only Kickstarter stuff I saw anywhere is the battle armor nobody wants.

[@ObiwanNekody]

Legendary.

[@claytonhollowell4488]

I think it's been hinted that the 3151 Bounty Hunter is Katana Tormark.

[@jorgehellmer2668]

My brother in comstar! Good reviews!

[@Falamee158]

The Mad-Cat S has 4x SRM-6, 2x MP Lasers, 1x LP Laser, 1x Emotional Support Small Laser, and 2 HMGs on the chin… So what you thought were AT-4s were the SRM Pods.

[@casperionx]

The mad ii in the draconis colours with the green arm is a reference to the special mad ii bounty hunter unique that happened in mechwarrior dark age. There was a world wide event and the faction with the most wins got to have the bounty hunter in that faction. In this case is was the dragons fury faction (which was a subset of house kurita). I remember playing in that event back in the day

[@nyandyn]

350 points? One Bounty Hunter Marauder and sixteen Savannah Masters, please! 🤣

[@bishopsteiner7134]

Woof, yeah that detail on the GRF-2N's chest did look rather soft. Gonna have to keep my eye out and see if that's an off casting or a problem across the board with it.

[@anthonymonaghan4964]

i have 6 Legendary Mechwarrior II / III salvage boxes in my KS pile.. just got my tracking number email so it shouldn't be too much longer till i get my pile

[@chromacypher8409]

Got mine $40 retail.

[@kastork82]

The ATMs on the Timby are brutal :(

[@KaryudoDS]

Counting missiles has gotten a little more complicated because at first I too thought the madcat and warhammer were using ATM's, but instead it's SRM's and MML's respectively. MML's are slightly more flexible from my understanding though. I kind of wish I grabbed these from the kickstarter but they'll end up on sale somewhere, and my pile of mechs needing paint might be lower by then lol. Really nice seeing that loki Mk II though. The dark age loki was one of their better sculpts even if that still meant it was a clix game sculpt. One reason I've been very curious to see how the CGL versions turn out for that era in particular. I don't love that era, but their designs have been pretty good on average.

[@eddapultstab2078]

ATMs are clan tech while the MML is a launcher that's an inner sphere designe to use both lrm and srm ammo, you have to or atleast recommended to have atleast one ton of ammo each to get the most out of it. I don't play clan but I believe ATM is it's own special ammo class that changes depending on range.

[@KaryudoDS]

@@eddapultstab2078 They're mechanically similar in that ATM ammo comes in several range/damage types, but that's all you get, while MML's get access to the additional SRM/LRM ammo types.

[@bobafett2243]

Ok, where can I order legendary II and III, please?

[@Thearmedpainter]

I’m not sure they have hit retail yet unfortunately.

[@bobafett2243]

@ aaaaargh

[@Darker1208]

I'm guessing that QC isn't much of a thing for anyone working in the pump-and-dump on kickstarter space (looking at you. CMON). Anyone doing good stls in the battletech zone?

[@Thearmedpainter]

There are quite a few but finding them is hard because of the names they have to use for their files. And I’m glad I’m not the only one to compare CGL to CMON, I really hope they take the influx of cash to develop new products and support FLGS. But unfortunately the rumors I heard to NOVA aren’t good, sounds a lot like CGL is planning to do more smaller KS in the future.

[@Stormeris]

They really should've called it Bounty Hunter Pack instead of Legendary III

[@Stormeris]

I think the warhammer is rocking MMLs and not ATMs (MMLs are IS tech, ATMs - clantech)

[@claytonhollowell4488]

@@Stormeris Yeah, it's the 9K, which has 2 HPPCs and an MML 9.

[@anthonymonaghan4964]

Bounty Hunter is not a person ... it is a mantle, there have been at least 3 that i know of ... the Bounty Hunter tends to find a worthy protégé and trains them to be "him" in skill and mannerisms to keep the legend and myth going that its one individual

[@eddapultstab2078]

Tex sums it up as basically the dread pirate Robert's from princess bride. The person doesn't matter but what he represents does.
