NEW STEEL RIFT

The NEW STEEL RIFT miniatures snuck up on me... I have been all over getting my LOTR stuff and also because I am pretty much good with my large and well organized Battletech Collection. I will be getting more cool stuff from time to time however; especially Special Forces models like these because they are just to cool to not own!

More NEW BATTLETECH Special Forces coming soon...

BATTLETECH 🤠 MERC 🤖 KS IN SPRING!

BOSS' BATTLETECH: TANKS PART 8

   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 UTILITY TANKS - VEHICLES episode! 

The HOUSE 🤍⚡💙 STEINER CITY SCAPE is Coming soon...

The topic of Battletech Utility & Civic vehicles is not as exciting as bad-ass-battle stuff, but I need them for cool little game scenarios, and they are fun terrain pieces too... of course!

More BATTLETECH Tanks coming soon...

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.

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: 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: 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: BASES PART 1

 I am replacing all of my hex-crap bases with glorious NEW ROUND Bases... because they are better in every way and look fantastic. I am setting up my armies and SPECIAL FORCES for the game by unit type and thus will have a fun variety of corresponding base sizes. I will be using SPEC OPPS Troops, for example, in teams of three (models), and these will be on cute 20MM bases.  

I love Battletech but I always despised the stupid-ass one size fits all hex bases that are used for everything. NOPE! Assault Mechs need to be on a larger base than a Light Mech... FFS! In my collection this will all be done right. 

To get started I have about 24 bases for each of these sizes:

 20MM: SPEC OPPS - Large Battlesuits & Small Units - Equipment. 

30MM: Small Mechs, Vehicles & Standard Units. 

40MM: Medium Mechs, Tanks & Standard Aerospace. 

50MM: Heavy Mechs, Tanks & Medium Aerospace - APCs.

60MM: Assault Mechs, Tanks & Large Aerospace - APCs.

 Because it is aesthetically correct and fun... and my armies will look great and grand!

More BATTLETECH BASES coming soon...

BOSS' BATTLETECH: COM🌠STAR - ARCHANGEL⭐GUARD PART 2

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

Precentor Martial Alexander Taylor

The #ARCHANGELGUARD rises from the ashes of #COMSTAR and #WORDofBLAKE 

This digital painting was another of my fun little #BATTLETECH weekend projects. I spent about six hours re-painting/editing the original COMSTAR image featuring my boy Anastasius Focht  My new Archangel Guard version introduces my ComStar character Alexander Taylor. Alexander is Precentor Martial of the new Archangel Guard.🤍⚡🖤

This group image covers the formation of Force One of The Angels

I love that the Archangel Tanks and Angel APC's look like they were built to go with my Special Force. Brothers notice how these brand new tanks have plating that goes crazy just like the armor on the actual Archangel Mechs. Look at the winglets on the badass Aero-angel-craft! They look just like they will function similarly to how the back and shoulder winglets of the Archangels! Then as if this was not enough... the Missileers have the dam-fine chest-torso styling of the Archangels. GLORY UPON GLORY! 🤍⭐🖤

The Angels already have their own BATTLE HYME too... The badass ending where Andy slays with his guitar is the last sound enemies of ComStar and The Inner Sphere will ever hear. 

The Archangels use the best equipment available including the newer Archangel Mechs, OmniFighters, VTOLs, and specialized Tanks. The AG-Agents and their Troopers have an array of Battlesuits, Stealth Tech and powerful new weapons. 

More BATTLETECH Special Forces coming soon...

COM🌠STAR - ARCHANGEL⭐GUARD Boss out!

COLLECTION DIARY: JANUARY 2022

I FINALLY GOT SOME GREAT LOOKING CGL SPECIAL BATTLETECH MODELS!

True story. I had that wonderful LEGENDARY set in my Amazon cart for... well months. They had the best price all of that time coming in at $125 with shipping. I waited; used some common sense, and finally got the pretties for a whole great BIG $30 direct form CGL! 🍷🧐🤖🎩🤗

I love these Badass ROUND Bases! They are going to make my models look so nice. I got a new black-ass-baby case for the small game stuff too because I plan to have a bunch of B-TECH SWAG and special Trooper models for my forces and none of it needs to bumbling around in large cases.

 

I got most of the force specific 3D Prints done in late December and a whole bunch of other faction specific tanks and such in January. I will be taking pictures of these formed up in their correct groupings and write a number of articles featuring all of this stuff in the coming weeks!

Happy Battletech Collecting Boss out!

BOSS' BATTLETECH: COM🌠STAR - ARCHANGEL⭐GUARD PART 1

COMSTAR is one of my favorite Battletech Factions. I love the idea of fixing the mess that The Word Of Blake caused; which tainted the good that Comstar did for mankind after the fall of The Star League. Thus as usual I am taking a setting that I know well and making changes that suite my game scenarios and opens up the models I can use to tell MY Battletech stories.

 

The ARCHAGLE GUARDIANS are the reformed WOB now. They are SPECIAL FORCES managed by COMSTAR and supported by Steiner-Lyran, FED COM, Davion and other powerful groups. The Archangel Guard preforms deep cover operations which secure the safety of the most important hidden assets of The Inner Sphere.

The Archangels use the best equipment available including the newer Archangel Mechs, OmniFighters, VTOLs, and specialized Tanks. The AG-Agents and their Troopers have an array of Battlesuits, Stealth Tech and powerful new weapons. 

More BATTLETECH Special Forces coming soon...
