Dear Readers, after I first purchased my Battletech sets, I had literally nobody to play with. Like, nobody. Granted, I only played Battletech Classic at the time. It is, for those of you who don’t know, a slightly more complicated version of playing Battletech. And by slightly, I mean tons more complicated. Here’s a recordContinue reading “Teaching the Next Generation”

Playing Some Alpha Strike
Hello, Dear Readers! Sorry I didn’t get a post in yesterday, but I was having a bad day and needed an outlet, so I went out for Alpha Strike night at my local game store. Here are some photos! I actually ended up winning both of my matches. It’s kind of a shame we weren’tContinue reading “Playing Some Alpha Strike”
Painting Update: Finished the Wizard, Glueing and Repriming the Dropship
I feel like I’m Sisyphus with these models, Dear Readers. I’m constantly working on them but I don’t seem to be getting any closer. Until today. Today, I have finally finished the Elven Wizard. And I will have finished gluing and priming the dropship. Here’s how it went down: I really ended up finishing theContinue reading “Painting Update: Finished the Wizard, Glueing and Repriming the Dropship”

Painting Update: Some More Mech Action
Dear Readers, it’s been an extremely busy week, but I did get some painting done. Here’s some pictures of what I have gotten accomplished: Yes, the Vulture is still a work in progress, but he’s a print and I had to re-glue on one arm.

Late Post
Dear Readers, as you may well have guessed, Battletech has been a big part of my hobby lately. Like, a big part. In any case, I browse and occasionally post in the r/battletech subreddit. During a particular conversation between myself and another Redditor, whom I won’t name, he expressed willingness to trade his Legendary MAD-3RContinue reading “Late Post”
Quick Paining Update: I GOT TO PAINT!!
Dear Readers, this won’t be a “normal” painting update, as I did not take incremental pictures of this guy. I also know that I promised a different post today, but after getting to paint something after almost 2 weeks, I couldn’t help myself and wanted to share, shunting the other post to tomorrow. I mean,Continue reading “Quick Paining Update: I GOT TO PAINT!!”
Battletech: My Obsession Continues

You have to understand, the only way to get Miniatures in the pastContinue reading “Battletech: My Obsession Continues”

Let’s Talk Battletech: My (current) Miniature Painting Obsession
Dear Readers, I have developed, as the title suggests, an obsession with painting my new pewter Battletech miniatures. Like, I have almost totally abandoned my Dungeons & Dragons miniatures in favor of painting my Battletech ones. And I couldn’t be more excited about it. As my main shipment of Battletech miniatures should be on theContinue reading “Let’s Talk Battletech: My (current) Miniature Painting Obsession”
