COLLECTION DIARY: MARCH 2022

I am at the point in my all NEW Battletech Collecting where I can work on units as a series of several cool little manageable art projects. I finally own most of the TANKS I have been writing  articles about over the last several months.

I am very happy to own this first Strikers Lance for my cool little FED COM badasses! Thanks to Jessi from MINIATURES OF MAYHEM for these wonderful little prints! 🍷🤖🎩

 

The DAGON Heavy Assault Hover Landing Craft is the juggernaut of the Steiner Coastal Defense.

This is such a cool model! 🤗

Clans Wolf and Falcon Assault Vehicles are joining my Clan armies this month too!

Happy Battletech Collecting Boss out!

BOSS' BATTLETECH: TANKS - MODEL PREP PARTY!

I am finally at the point in my all NEW Battletech Collecting where I can work on units as a series of several cool little manageable art projects.. I prefer that because it is how I build my collections and stay excited about it all.. 

One extra-thing buying all of this Battletech goodness has done is get my knowledge up on 3Dprints. I used to hate seeing these print lines, even from good printers. Now I have gotten over it as long as these little artifacts are not to egregious.

I always wash my models, particularly 3DPrints because I am allergic to the fumes. I wet sand the defects for this same reason. I have learned to spot all of the issues with just water and soap. Later when it is time to prime these wonderful little toys I find that they are just about perfect. 

Print lines do not scare me much anymore... and in some cases I kind of love them.

More BATTLETECH Tanks coming soon...

BOSS' BATTLETECH: HOUSE STEINER NAVY... DAGON WILL RISE!

Now that I have my first lances of STEINER MECHS purchased I am prepping for the rest of the army. As a Steiner Commander I am going to run a lot of Assault and Heavy Mechs. These glorious lances will need support. I have chosen to start with a few tanks and troops of course, and several Areospace fighters! 

The Battletech series of NAVAL Vessels are full of crazy craft...and I love several of them. For the purposes of my TOTAL WAR Battletech games I have decided to pick about a half dozen craft to populate my Costal and Sea battlefields. The designs are all similar, thus I quickly determined the best thing to do was to just get models that I like and look right for the B-TECH universe. 

The DAGON Heavy Assault Hover Landing Craft is the juggernaut of the Steiner Coastal Defense. The cool support vehicles are my wonderful way to field updated versions of the little Plainsman and Zephyr troublemakers. I love all of these models... they are BAMF's!

BOSS' BATTLETECH: FEDERATED COMMONWEALTH STRIKER LANCE PART 2

I have the first Stalker Lance models now and I am happy with them. This is going to be a cool little force to play and they will make my Battletech games more fun because of the ways I intend to use these Special Forces!

I spent the weekend working on the color schemes for my first FEDERATED COMMONWEALTH Lance. I am calling this crazy thing a STALKER LANCE, because they are an Elite Unit whos job it is to kill specific trouble makers in FEDCOM Territories. The base Stalker Lance consist of HELLSPAWN and HOLLANDER with add-on support from STARSLAYER Mechs and other assets as needed. These Elite Units are going to be done in classic FEDCOM Colors. The leaders will often have more of my House STEINER Colors with the blue and black with nice white trim. 💙🖤🤍

Alternate colors particularly city and field camo patterns with some variations in the striping with both house colors prominently represented. STALKERS get dropped into very dangerous places and may call on Aerospace support. These associated attached assets will be in matching colors... of course.

BOSS' BATTLETECH: TANKS PART 7

  As my regular B6*R7 Fliers know I plan stuff out as I buy the toys and such. I have been doing that for my renewed BATTLETECH babies for six fun months. Now that I have most of my MECHS, AEROSPACE, and TROOPS setup and just waiting for me to buy all of them.

It is the time for a HOVER TANKS episode! 

The Hover Tanks in Battletech are crazy and full of odd-ball designs. I have hunted down models that I think look badass and are just cool. The Svantovit is the best looking Inner Sphere craft for my taste and thus I wanted miniatures that look close to that style of vehicle. 

The Clan Hover Tanks are a mix of crazy and classic designs in my collection. The Hephaestus and Luduan are good examples of wild looking tanks that will contrast very well with their good guy counters. I wanted to be sure to get some of that diversity and fun flavor in my Clan armies!

The HOUSE 🤍⚡💙 STEINER Navy Coming soon...

BOSS' BATTLETECH: TECH TURF - NEW SMALL TOWN MODELS

STRATO MINIS has just released their all new OTTOMAN 6MM Sci-Fi Town terrain range!

"The first wave of The Ottoman buildings is available in our store!"

"Aside from the 6 buildings, there are a few sets of extra bits and greeblies that will help you to customize your retrofuturistic town of the Middle East. Everything is scale compatible with our other 6 mm lines. All miniatures are cast in high quality resin.

Next waves coming soon!"

Our friend Robert Ash will get these in his glorious wonderful shop in about six weeks. 

More BATTLETECH Turf coming soon...

BOSS' BATTLETECH: TANKS PART 6

 As my regular B6*R7 Fliers know I plan stuff out as I buy the toys and such. I have been doing that for my renewed BATTLETECH babies for six fun months. Now that I have most of my MECHS, AEROSPACE, and TROOPS setup and just waiting for me to buy all of them.

It is the time for a LRM TANKS & CARRIERS episode! 

I love Missile Tanks! This episode was rather difficult for me to put together because there are so damn many models out there to represent these badasses. I have my eye on a few more and The Archangels have their own crazy tanks already. These are my favorites of everything I have looked at over the last several months and I am going to buy many of them. I decided that Clan Jade Falcon is going to do without these tanks because I am running them with only a few fast attack and support ground vehicles.

 

Among the various Tracked Combat Vehicles there are many types and styles of LRM CARRIERS  These powerful machines are capable of firing all sorts of ARROW Ordnance, and they are to be expected on all battlefields of The Inner Sphere.

More BATTLETECH Tanks coming soon...

BOSS' BATTLETECH: AEROSPACE FIGHTERS - ARCHANGEL⭐GUARD

"The DARK HIDDEN PLACES will burn with Archangel fury!"

Precentor Martial Alexander Taylor

The series of AREO and OMNI Space Fighters are full of crazy craft...and I love several of them. For the purposes of my TOTAL WAR Battletech games I have decided to pick about a half dozen craft to populate my air and space battlefields. The designs are all similar, thus I quickly determined the best thing to do was to just get models that I like and look right for the B-TECH universe.

According to some of the history Com Star and most of the major houses use many of the same Areospace Fighters. I am using LAMs and my updated versions of the Corsair with crazy WOB Archangel like OmniFighters that look absolutely badass.
 I like my chosen Space Wizards craft a lot. They all suite my taste and fit much of the B-Tech art.

The Archangels Areospace Forces use the best equipment available including the newer Archangel OmniFighters, VTOL Gunships, specialized LAMs, and heavy APCs which are a much heavier Striga design. The AG-Agents and their Troopers are dropped into the heat of battle with an array of Battlesuits, Stealth Tech, and powerful new weapons. 

More BATTLETECH Special Forces coming soon...

COM🌠STAR - ARCHANGEL⭐GUARD Boss out!
