    The one to get is The Game of Armored Combat. That is your first purchase. FYI, I"m an old player from the 1980's with my beat up Game of Armored Combat with the Warhammer mech on the cover, and the white rulebook.

  • @RecklessFables
    @RecklessFables 2 місяці тому

    If they make a fair profit on the joke, then it was a good business decision for them. At least people who buy it know exactly what they are getting. What really bothers me is how they sold the first two ilClan era Gray Death Legion novellas as they were written. Then they released the compilation with a third story you can't buy separately. So you have to pay novel-price for the third novella. Similarly, the new ilClan sourcebook hardcovers are so thin I'm feeling abused. Even GW provides more value in their codexes. I can't believe I just said that.

    • @magnushobbiesandgaming7683
      @magnushobbiesandgaming7683 2 місяці тому

      You are right, they did make profit, they would have made more profit if they just did the LAMs. I find reading the lore and source material in the hardbound books difficult, like I just do not have the time anymore. Too many books to read for BattleTech that i just do not get around to!

    • @bishopsteiner7134
      @bishopsteiner7134 2 місяці тому

      @@magnushobbiesandgaming7683 Honestly? Prior LAM sales were never very impressive. Not even the Unseen versions. They were never even fully embraced bu the OG Grognard Battletech players. On the other hand, literally everything Urbanmech has been a goldmine for us. Love it, Hate it, be Apathetic about it, it sells. Better than normal LAMs ever have. 🤷‍♀ Conflating one's personal preferences with what actually sells is often an issue, not just in our fanbase, but most. Sorry that it offends, you, but not sorry for creating it, or for CGL making great profits off of it. I would love to see the classic LAMs revisited, but the financial impetus tends to dictate what we do.

    • @magnushobbiesandgaming7683
      @magnushobbiesandgaming7683 2 місяці тому

      @bishopsteiner7134 There are always reasons for poor sales, urbie is for sure a fan favourite, but as a meme more than anything, which is why it works to a degree. The rules for the LAM for sometime have been useless, so makes using them a ball ache. By the way, I am not saying they should be broken either. It is very hard to balance the unit given BattleTech revolves around movement being so important. But, currently, there is a very strong collectibility with the force packs and fomo is strong in many of the fans. Myself, it is a shame, however, I have the metal LAMs, which look pretty bad and I have the RoboTech ones, which are amazing. I would prefer CGL ones that are canonical. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, happy hunting!

    Well y'know...I do like the chicken-walkers. :-) And avoiding ammo explosions is fun. For the paint job, frankly, I'd be happy with anything Steiner or Davion, or, if I have to pick just one, Kell Hounds as done on the Wolfhound on Camo Specs. 🙂 Jenner JR7-F Jumpy goodness, higher armor than the stock version and without a bomb (ammo). Griffin GRF-1N Jumpy sniperness! The PPC is a good hole-puncher, and with the jump jets and longer range weapons, it's good for preventing scouts from flanking. Marauder MAD-3D A great Marauder, dumps the autocannon for a large laser and more heat sinks, can sustain PPC fire for far longer and no ammo explosions! Marauder II MAD-4A MOAR PARTICLE CANNONS! :-) And it jumps! Overall, you have the two Marauders to provide a strong center, and the Griffin and Jenner make adequate and robust flankers for their weight classes.

    It’s got to be a Locust, a Crab, a Stalker and a Black Knight for me - so much versatility there In terms of colour scheme, I’d be interested in a sponsor-themed pattern for the arena, like a formula one car. Team Pepsi mechs!

  • @mark0z11
    @mark0z11 9 місяців тому

    3025 there can be only one answer, Missiles and Medium Lasers! Spider SDR-5D Trebuchet TBT-5J Orion ON1-VA King Crab KGC-0000 List brings speed and armor, closing power and long range, and hopefully all the variants are correct. For the color scheme, I like the idea of Solaris warriors having colorful, vibrant, "out there" designs. No fog of war, no need for camouflage, each pilot going wild.

    Given that pristine salvage boxes have been repeatedly shown to just be one force pack after another I'd say your first set of 9 was just a random selection put together after some degree of cherry picking or random purchases - the second one was pristine though with one mech from the clan support star followed by a complete inner sphere direct fire lance and 4/5s of the clan fire star

  • @ShadrackMeduson
    @ShadrackMeduson Рік тому

    no duplicates, no ''common/rare/ultra rare'' and all that blindbox bullshit. These packs seem like a great deal, completly random as it should be, not rigged to give you duplicates like candy, completly fair in value and no matter what you get it all can be used for the game. These are blind boxes i can truly find myself buying to collect and play.

    Great vid! I definitely enjoyed the Legends sourcebook, mainly because I was looking specifically to paint up certain miniatures in their "Legendary" paint schemes for a game format I created. I am going to acquire Legends 2 for the same reason. That said, I'm not sure I'd classify it as a "must have". If you're a lorehound, yes. Painter, yes. Casual player? mmm no. I'd say this supplement is for intermediate players and up, it's one of the ways to get waist deep in the franchise after you've gotten your feet wet with the beginner materials. New players will not know who these people are, they won't have the connections. The universe primers give the new players the basic overlook of the lore and the Inner Sphere/Clans.

    17:17 the Wolfhound is popular because it is an almost perfect light hunter, skirmisher and brawler. 6/9 move, 119 armor, large laser, multiple medium lasers. It's great. You know how the Pheonix Hawk PHX-1 or PHX-1D is a terror to light mechs in 3025? The WLF-1 in 3028 is basically a pocket version with very few compromises. It was designed by Steiner to counter the Jenner and Panther of the DCMS and it does. It only got better in 3052 when it got its large laser upgraded to er and DHS reducing its need to heat cycle.

      I was thinking more about the book, I love it for several reasons, it contains iconic characters in one source book, has short stories, has amazing lore on mechs and characters and finally the paint schemes. It all depends on what you are looking for at the end of the day. For me it hits several sweeet spots.
