I started outlandish, then slid into dezgra real fast.

The ilClan era has the battle pope, now I have a ride for the ilClan anti-battle pope.

stormcrow head

It's been a long time, but when I was playing MechWarrior IV (last game I played) my mech of choice was the Stormcrow. Quick on it's feet, armed with a great mix of lazers, with enough heat sinks to let you use them! I often made sure to mix in a machine gun, just to have. I found that as long as I had some sort of decent mech or two with me in the Lance, no mission could stop us! Clan Jade Falcon was always victorious!!!

The clan invasion, MadCat (Timberwolf) and Vulture (Mad Dog) Two front line omnimechs that spear headed the clan invasion of the inner sphere.

Computer Gaming World December 1998

The game that got the cover spot on this thick year-end issue was a new installment in a long-running franchise. The iMac was mentioned in the table of contents, but not in a positive way.

Jettison-Capable Weapons on OmniMechs. Thoughts?

Doom Courser Omnimech by Dale Eadeh

[telluriandigits]

Ignoring the wild cheesy mod-heavy loadout (which is now actually riding on a Hero chassis for the additional bonuses, as if I need them), rate my idealized self as a salvaged Clan-busting mercenary Vulture.

If I actually want to play the game without power fantasy, I use a mostly-stock MDD-RV in Clans. I haven't touched MWO in a while but I got that Dog in me there as well.

I couldn't sleep so now the Men Shen MS1-O is ready to cause problems. I'm getting a bit better at the squad markings- a friend of mine who actually knows how to read Chinese suggested I look up a stroke guide for the characters I was using instead of just trying to copy off of Wikipedia. I probably should've figured that out a bit sooner :/

Timber Wolf omnimech

I did a nice bit of art over liminal week. It is a timber wolf with some kind of custom loadout, featuring an lrm20 and gauss rifle as the main events. OR could that pointy nose give away its actually a Raksasha with Avatar legs doing a good twolf cosplay?

[gorillastraylight]

This is one of the only Clan mechs where I prefer the spheroid name. Not only is “Grendel” a fucking sick-ass name for a mech, but also…this thing only has one proper arm. It fits so well.

It's Mongrel Monday!

The Clawtake - Combat TOO

@msn-04iinightingale, @it-chari I promised I would forward our order of battle, and here it is, along with an idea of what our camo scheme looks like. It has been the belief of the Clawtake since the beginning that as it is extremely difficult to conceal war machines that weigh in the tens of tons and show up on seismographs, it is not worth bothering.

Something I've noticed about my battlemech preferences is that while I initially gravitated to the Clans for their superior tech and focus on range, I've gradually moved towards Inner Sphere designs.

It's something about clarity of purpose. An Urbanmech lives in tight enclosed spaces, and packs a punch normally not put into a light mech. A Hunchback or Hollander is a big gun with legs. An Archer or Longbow plays fire support. A Battlemaster frontlines, a Locust runs fast.

But Clan mechs? The nature of Omnimechs means they can swap modules easily and adapt to many roles, but not often perfectly. A jack of all trades with a technological head start. As such, a lot of Clan mechs, excluding the IIC and C variants of IS mechs, lack this clarity of purpose. They often blend together.

When creating a Lance, and I need a role filled, I can look to IS designs, pick a mech in my collection, and find ten different ideas on how an Archer can fulfill Fire Support, down to my needs of tech, armament, bvdget, and personal preference.
