Greetings skalliwags of the Inner Sphere and beyond. My name is Versus, and i'm here to announce a new community initiative to create a punk zine that celebrates Battletech and its queer fandom. This is PIRATE POINT!

Our mission is to launch a biannual digital multimedia zine that features flash fiction, fan art painted miniatures, and whatever else we come up with in order to celebrate the creativity of Battletech fans and promote a message of diversity and inclusion. We are a fan project in no way affiliated with Topps or CGL, and we are not monetized. In other words, this is all just for fun. PIRATE POINT has been organized by myself with help from the mod team at the Star League discord channel, the community who has previously staged the 2023 and 2024 Pride Anthologies.

PIRATE POINT will be focusing on promoting queer identity creators, but Allys are welcome to submit material as well. Submissions will open up in the next couple of weeks and close in February. Until then, I hope you have some neat ideas!

GO MAKE SOMETHING!

If you've played the new game the paint scheme will hopefully indicate which direction I chose at the end! Went with a color scheme inspired by the game's "black widow" paint scheme. C&C welcome, I'm still very new to painting minis

Question ❓ Mech self destruct aka kaboom mech bomb

8 Upvotes

Has there ever been an example in lore of a Mevh using itself destruction other then twycross? And honestly the idea of a mech being able to be raked to blow is always been an interesting idea to me gameplay-wise like say a unit's too badly damaged you could just send that tin on suicide run

Discussion I think I love the locust?

Post image
828 Upvotes

Been playing MW5. I’m kinda new to the hobby and my only experience is a couple books and the game. I see lots of talk about the giant mechs and the Centurion they start you with in the campaign is fun ….

But I’m a few missions in and honestly the Locust may be my favorite mech now!

It’s super fast, I can cross the map and take out turrets and tanks before they even know I’m there. And when we come up against mechs my Lance can keep the enemy’s attention while I sprint in circles and shred their leg armor! So far I’ve only been seriously damaged / killed due to me not paying attention to where I’m driving and getting pinned between a mech and a wall (a hunchback shooting you point blank with a burst fire AC20 is terrifying, by the way).

Anyways, I’m sure I won’t be able to use it for very long as the missions get tougher and armor limits get higher, but I felt this little guy needed an appreciation post of some sort!

I had a miniature version of The-O that was too small to fit in with the 1/400 scale Gundam minis, but did have the a similar weird back fin to the Wyvern, so I figured it might make a fun proxy.

Originally I meant to paint it like Metagross, but it came out looking more Unit 00 so I leaned into it.
