Is the info about Blood-Mandrill raiders actually canon? If so, were can I find more about it? 2 of my most beloved clans having a chance of resurrection is a dream coming true!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the BLOODKITE

Those Blood Spirit mechs had some strange art, for sure! They managed to look awesome and also like they were heavily inspired by M.C. Esher.

Mechs that are built by a clan that is austere by already austere clan standards show how one can squeeze cost effectiveness out of clantech designs. It’s a real shame that the whole kinship vibes never truly worked out for Blood Spirit in the end, though. It was a cool idea at the very least.

Blood Kite Appreciator!

You're one of the first folks I've heard make mention of population problems for Clanners outside of the intel community. But it makes sense doesn't it? Compared to the Inner Sphere and Taurian Concordat the Clans are very newly established (and have had to relocate a few times). Put thier cultural idiosyncrasies on top of that, and the Clans just can't make enough people to conduct an invasion *and* occupation. Its one or the other.

hey. acolyte 1 of biggest flops all time but agatha flopped harder your x post is daft. you messed up. read next time

Been studying WoB for a long time due to a fanfic write I have been doing. St Jamais messed up when he took the message form The Master of 'Let them see the light' and nuked either steiner or davion. Threw the whole try to get those factions back to the star league table out the window. Then the plan changed to, 'we will embody the worst of the worst' to unite the inner sphere. We will be become the things of nightmares. Republic of the Sphere was the result. In the end it fell too. Oh yeah, the blakists are alive and kicking in the shadows with the Ghosts of Obeedah suppliment. If WoB comes back, it will be one hell of an awakening for the IS. And it is ripe for their return since 'The Sign' and the next step of The Promise is upon us.... FOR THE MASTER!!!

The binary lasers one merit: it has a decent 60+ percent chance of bringing the light to the opposing pilot in case of a headshot!

Praise blake!😊

To be fair, the Blessed Order was making the Uraeus and Kheper. Not that it helped in the end, but there was a ComStar remnant that had it's own battlemech production. Still, after that run through the history - Blake and Focht must be spinning in the respective graves.

Ah, the Deva. Such a solid, reliable heavy, it's never let me down. I've never actually run the Invictus, now that I think about it, but the Luminos is one of my go-to's and the Dominus is swingy but fun. The Infernus is, for all intents and purposes, an economy Archangel Eminus. On the topic of gyros, armoring is strictly better in a one-off setting, but such components take twice the normal amount of time to repair or replace. Might be the difference between getting a mech back in the fight vs not.

While I’m not a huge fan of the ubiquitous Retractable Blade on nearly all of the Celestial series, nobody can deny that it looks really cool.

The only good blake mech is a destroyed blake mech

Can Discount Dan get me one of these 🙂?

In order to expand our naval capabilities we invested in a couple Deva. We often find ourselves adapting the claws on the feet. On volcanic rock it's fine, but if you hit sand or mud, you're dead.

When I hear "Heavy Duty Gyro" it makes me feel like it should stabilize the mech a little better, maybe contribute a -1 or -2 to PSR, not just be a little more durable, which, as Prof mentioned, is better accomplished by Armored Components

never thought of armoring a compact gyro.....brilliant!

i dislike the anti-religious bent of the dark age comstar story. Its like they went to Dawkins for the outline. The clan wolf player in me now is saying "Yeah burn comstar BURM!"

are you going to do the clan society mechs as well? or have they already been done?

Also, you inspired me to play around with this design for a refit. Replacing the small cockpit/upgrading the VDNI to an Interface Cockpit means it loses the "hat", but it also lets you rip out the awful heavy duty Gyro. Swap the heatsinks to Clan grade so additional ones take up less space, shift some Endo Steel slots into the CT (leaving 4 free and making room in the side torsos). It leaves you with 36 tons of pod space and 34 critical space slots. What's your take on that overhaul? I could use some of these "Divas" for my own company...

Right out the gate, I gotta say: the Deva wins the aesthetic award. That's just a sexy design I'd happily play with. Kudos to the designer of that body kit (artist).

Huge fan of the Celestials, C3i, and Laser Anti Missile Systems. Great video!

I'd probably only run it If I was trying to run a full celestial force. Ran the Infernus in MegaMek a bit. it was... fine if not spectacular. I do however really want to pick up a full set of Celestials at some point. They look neat. and pokey.

While the Wobbies are no one's favorite faction, I appreciate you covering these overlooked machines. Very interesting mechs!

Love that you showcased my Blood Kite mini for this one. Hated working with Purple Fog color shift, but I hope the paintjob came out well.

Objectively, I know it's not a great design due to autocannon limitations, but I still really like it. Also, for any Mauler pilots looking for an upgrade, the Jupiter might be something you want to look into.
