I skipped the clan part this time since their mechs dont click for me except for the Hellbringer, Mad Dog and Mist Lynx. Thanks again for the video.

[@ShimmeringSword]

Shadowhawk and Wolverine were out several years ago. Uziel comes a little later in the timeline so that has to wait. However IWM has the Uziel using the MW4 cinematic model so it can't get too much better than that.

Night Gyr might not look like much, but it and the Nova Cat share the title of pocket assaults. Both are only 4/6 movement but have extreme fire power. I've wiped the floor with fast assaults with the Gyr also thanks to its surfaces you can do some cool stuff with painting with it. Also with the ad hauk star no mech scares me more facing it than the Kodiak. Between the Mechwarrior 2 Ghost bear opening and just the extreme fire power of it its the only mech at close range a TSM Berserker will loose more often than it will win. Also can't wait for mine to come, hopefully next week.

[@honestgames3249]

What boxes do you think warrant buying multiples of? Curious which mechs all houses and clans make use of... or is that litteraly every mech? I'm just getting into battletech and usually I like to play everything and like to paint different color schemes. For instance if every house throughout the years made use of the jenner then im probably gonna buy 6 or so of those inner sphere force boxes. Your answer might just turn my order to CGL into a few thousand dollars or even more. Anyways, Love your content and I'm slowly making it through all your guys videos. Keep up the great work and be safe.

[@abyssbun444]

Where the hell did you get these sets?! I can’t find them on official sites, and on EBay they can go about as much as a space marine pack from 40k or more!! I hope there are reprints soon.

[@janbrandt9780]

These are currently for Kickstarter backers. It is expected that they will slowly appear in retail during end of 2021 and in 2022. This is based on how they did Wave 1 packs (release 1xlance and 1xstar per month). Please be patient with CGL as they are nowhere near GW regarding personel. They are constantly working on reprints when something starts running out but due shipping issues the restocking happens slower.

[@abyssbun444]

@@janbrandt9780 Thanks for clearing things up, Guess I’m gonna have to keep an eye out for these sets.

[@tiagodagostini]

This has the feel of the X-Wing regarding patckaging. Large boxes for 2 miniatures? Really they should make it a bit more compact.

There are 4-6 per box. They could definitely shrink the packaging but it’s not too bad imo!

With the accurate scaling it is making me wonder why there are not To Hit modifiers for medium and light mechs. They are considerably smaller than heavy and assault classes.

I think the intention is there with the target mod/TMM scores, but yes the “hit box” of the Atlas vs a Fire Moth is substantially different :)

[@SpaceCowSmith]

Awesome video as always! I've been watching and enjoying your videos since the first lockdown and am interested in trying out Battletech again for the first time since the mid 90's but am finding the plethora of rulebooks, supplements and starters a bit perplexing. What would you guys recommend for a good place to start and expand onto? I'm interested in both classic Battletech and Alpha Strike and both using hex sheets and actual tabletop as well as both mech v mech and combined arms types of games. With the influx of new gamers that are showing interest in the game it would be really handy to have a breakdown of where to start and the strengths of each different style of playing depending on the sort of gaming experience you want.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

For a simpler start I would say grab the Alpha Strike Commander’s Edition! Great game, lets you field tons of minis easily, and is “rules light”. Fantastic rule set if you want my opinion! 🙂 If you are interested in the Destiny stuff, since that is a bit of a hacked system, there are some more rulebooks you’d need there.

[@SpaceCowSmith]

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Many thanks! I'll grab a physical copy when they become available again but I've picked up the PDF version for now!

Did you ever decide which was your favourite of the new sculpts? I don't have them all but my favourite is the Atlas. It's just the best version I've ever seen of that mech. The proportions are simply perfect and the head is amazing whereas it can sometimes look a bit goofy on other versions. Also what is wrong with the Jenner? I like its pose where it's turning to the left.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

The Jenner is so bulbous haha - and I think the one I got was pretty squished. But as for my favorite? So hard to say… that Kodiak is something else… but honestly there are probably 5-10 that were my “favorite” 🙂

They might sell singles but for the price just get the star and ebay off the ones you dont want. Or trade with your friends. 🙂

@@dominicoliver7505 For sure. I think the BSP air support rules in the BMM(?) are cool but maybe a middle ground similar to Alpha Strike or BT:Destiny would work for TW?

Still showing 360 over here.

Yah I am at a loss - I have a trouble ticket in w YT. May try to slice the video in half and try uploading smaller parts. So frustrating!

ED-209 walks again.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

😆

[@TroySeward]

I'm getting no sound from the video.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

YT has its own volume controls - make sure youre note muted there, or connected to a bluetooth device somewhere 🙂

[@MiriOhki]

Objection! You keep saying awesome, but I didn’t see a single AWS-** there

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

LOL fair enough

[@johnwalton287]

So sad I got into this game after the Kickstarter opportunity. Guess I’ll just have to clean out my local store when they arrive

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Good plan!!

[@jamiewalter4878]

If you need some painting done, let me know.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Shoot me an email! Happy to discuss. Dfawargaming at googlemail

[@madmarauder9925]

Giant mini gun?????

[@bronco5334]

The real question is: can those of us who didn't learn about the Kickstarter until after it ended ever actually order these?

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Yes! They will be available for retail at some point!

[@stevenraycopley8885]

I told my wife that I had only a couple of regrets in my life so far (31 yrs)...the first was getting surgery that DQ'd me from military service. The 2nd was not paying more attention in math class. And the final was not FUCK8NG BACKING THE CLAN KICKSTARTER!!!!!! 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Haha There will be more hopefully

[@l.everetttalbottjr.275]

Gotta get me some of that and get started on Battletech: Alpha Strike!

[@bryy2053]

From what I understand the claws on the Kodiak are not functional but ceremonial/ornamental. Kind of a bummer, looks great but useless, kind of like the wing on the old Lamborghini countach

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Woah woah woah that wing is totally functional by providing downforce at high speed
