Probably gonna be the first kickstarter I ever participate in! The battletech universe has sucked me in hard over the last few months and I'm loving every second of it
I hope this series continues. I'm really bad at keeping up with gaming news and this channel is often my Battletech news outlet. Also welcome to Dom, always nice to see new faces on the channel.
From what I saw, IS Standard battle armor squads are planned. Since they're pushing it back to a few months more than they originally planned, they seem to be adding a few more things than they originally planned too.
@@klinktastic No idea, but we're getting a bunch of vehicles this time. The Vehicle boxes seem like they'll be a really good deal. 3 different vehicles, 2 of each per box was the most recent plan I saw for packaging vehicles. More Aerospace stuff coming too. They didn't seem decided yet on if they were going to package aerospace and tanks together, or how that was going to go. But they have time to get it figured out now, so we'll see how it goes un the next 3 months or so.
That's a not too far off possibility actually.... The Thunder Fox was introduced in the middle of the Jihad era. Right now everything they're doing is Succession Wars up to Clan Invasion era. Jihad is the logical next step after they sufficiently cover those other two.
I dont want to admit I recently bought the Jihad Technical readout ......... really tempted to field a level II of the Celestial omnimechs , but I feel id still retcon most of the Jihad out in my head and think of WoB as just a temporary faction in and around Terra and the Chaos March
What I care about is getting the rest of the TRO:3025 Mechs and as many TRO:3026 Vehicles as possible. Anything beyond that is just an extra bonus imo.
Always a pleasure to listen to you guys talking about the Battletech Universe. And there was a LOT of info to digest will definitely have to listen to this again and take some notes. As always keep up the great work and enjoy the holidays!
An excellent surprise to see a video on a day besides Wednesday. I always welcome more Death From Above Wargaming during the week. I do like hearing thoughts on upcoming products, or rules changes. Thom should green screen(or have a big enough poster) of Nikolai Malthus happy cackle meme behind him, instead of the white wall, when doing calls like this. A BattleTech themed background. Or a dropship living quarters appearance.
Heck yeah more mechs. 56 seems kind of low but I'm not as interested in the normal tanks. Can't wait to hear the THOM Questions. Someone will ask what Amaris's shoe size is or something.
Honestly I'm excited for the potential protos and WOB Celestial/Demon designs. I used to hate the eras after the Fedcom civil war, but ended up loving them.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Like a fungus, or a mold...In all seriousness though, I would like to see a new version of the Minotaur protomech, that matches closer to the art depicting a biped longhorn. Or maybe a new version of the Asterion IS battle armor, since I think that the Taurians could use some stuff newer than Capellan hand-me-downs. Wouldn't mind seeing a new version of the Talos, the Toro, or the WHM-11T. Or a quad 'Mech with horns, TSM, and Supercharger installed. There will definitely be stretch goals. I wonder if there will be stretch goals that include faction packs for shirt/patch/challenge coin/lapel pin, like before. I would not mind picking up some additional shirts and patches for some factions. Because I need to expand my BattleTech wardrobe. 😁 That Devastator in the Render-Blender has "Hammerhands bodybuilder on the juice" stink all over it. I will batchall those who disagree.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming That would probably be Trial of Bloodright, assuming that you can trace your line to one of the 800 who departed with Kerensky. If you cannot get a sponsor, you can test your might/skill in the Grand Melee to enter the Trial of Bloodright. Winner earns that Bloodname. There is also the Wolf Rite for Clan Wolf, and the Clawing for Clan Ghost Bear. I believe those carry extra honors/bragging rights, if you are a part of either of those Clans.
That whole group of gauss giants for the IS that came out at that time were awesome. Devastator, thunder hawk, Pillager and the night star. Glad to see at least 3 of them in the works. Too bad the Pillager is my favorite simply due to the JJets. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer......great video guys!
I would LOVE to decorate my upcoming game room with a pair of flags exactly like the ones you guys have on display . The BIG ones. One Marauder and if available maybe a Warhammer if it's facing to the right so that the two look great together . Does DFAW have these available or do you have any plans to make them available ? I have a feeling that if these were available and not priced crazy high that they would sell .
Great video! I am hoping for alot more IS fast mechs in the new kickstarter.{ Nexus is one of them} Looking forward to getting the Starslayer. I like to see a future Jump Point about the vehicles and vtols. Also, Aaron's,Thom's, and Dan's wish list of mechs, vehicles, and battle armor. Any chance of getting Col. Steiner in a future Jump Point? Great work. Looking forward to more videos
My big question when are the Northwind Highlanders , Kell Hounds , Hansens Roughriders boxes coming out ? They announced them hell I pre ordered one from my supplier but there is no info
Anything? What about Comstar's [Redacted by Comstar] in the [Redacted by Comstar] region? What kind of Mech is that, anyway? I'm still trying to figure out how they even got a [Redacted by Comstar] class weapon on there in the first place!
I only want one thing. Premium Marauder, or the CGL resculpt in the IWM "New Classic" line. Great video by the way, greatly enjoy the content your channel provides.
I'll be happy if the scarabus is in this bunch of mechs....its one I've used a lot but need to use representative mechs i'd love to have the real thing...I'll paint it up in solaris colours I think (to be fair I'd like a analysis of the scarabus to see if it turns out as good as it is in our battles) :-) battle armour, infantry and vehicles are always welcome for our campaigns :-) gotta agree the protomechs are a bit crappy to be fair.
Looking forward to the New KickStarter, was lucky to experience 0 problems with the first campaign. Don't really care about all the extra stuff: dice, keychains, etc, I'm only interested in the mechs and vehicles, stuff I can play with, The meat!
Amen - swag and all that can be nice extra pay add-ons but more infantry, vehicles etc, perhaps fiction appropriate buildings. Ohh, dropships would be cool.
We need way more mechs and infantry. They could keep printing forever. Menshen hauptmann uziel at least. Tsang mech too! The devastater legs look too beefy to me.
Surprising enough, I got some dice that were in excellent shape. I've been begging and pestering Lauren & the brood for more Aerospace & Capital Naval vessels, and really been working on them for more cannon and an updated Succession Wars era, as in right after Kerensky & most of the SLDF took off. Kurita nuking Planets and trying to protect industrial infrastructure and capture what's left of SLDF caches. I always joke about Atlas LAMs or an Urbie LAM, they truly hate LAMs but if we fans keep pestering and begging, just maybe we can get it as an add-on for the March 2023 Kickstarter... ;-) Another awesome video, thanks to all you guys for the time, effort and passion for the game of Battledroids
Starslayer looks decent, not a fan of the Devastator. The cockpit/head doesn't fit with the rest of it IMO. As far as LAMs go, I'll never understand the interest in those. They weren't popular in the 80's, one of the reason they never gained any momentum. I'd rather see armor and VTOLs (helis).
Ha! That's actually at my request. I don't want the good name of DFA besmirched by my incredibly unprofessional and unedited material :P Thanks though C Fox, appreciate the love!
21:00 everyone remembers Noise Marines you're truly old school if you remember Goff Rockerz
14:45 hell yeh my mech of choice the Ti Ts'ang such a beast , got The Boardgame Kaptain to review it made a convert . Dom has also covered it
Welcome to DFA Dom! Thank you all for these updates
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel Jesse!
I love protomechs!
Aerospace fighters: *soon to exist*
Thom: I'll buy your entire stock!
We luv you, Thom.
Just about the SWAG; dice, patches, pins, posters, t-shirts, etc. Been doing that sort of thing since the FASA booth at Dragon Con, Gen Con, etc.
Good to see Dom on the channel
Probably gonna be the first kickstarter I ever participate in! The battletech universe has sucked me in hard over the last few months and I'm loving every second of it
If I’m being honest, the Clan Invasion ks was my first!!
Nice, nice, I like the video Podcast format. Keep it up!
I hope this series continues. I'm really bad at keeping up with gaming news and this channel is often my Battletech news outlet. Also welcome to Dom, always nice to see new faces on the channel.
Thanks Shane! Appreciate you watching as always - and we plan on keeping it rolling!
Thom! you are my hero! I've always called the clan mechs "eye" "eye" "C" glad to see I'm not the only one!
Thom is the People’s Champion!
Good first episode, boyos! Looking forward to more!
Thanks for tuning in!
I know it's unlikely, but I REALLY hope we get some IS infantry out of this kickstarter.
From what I saw, IS Standard battle armor squads are planned. Since they're pushing it back to a few months more than they originally planned, they seem to be adding a few more things than they originally planned too.
@@wolfehoffmann2697 hopefully stretch goal for IS standards and maybe 1-2 others?

I'd love to see Longinus (spelling?) from Free Worlds League!
They just look so cool !!!
I liked the Thunder Fox from the Dark Age. I kind of wish they made a updated plastic for Classic/Alpha Strike
That's a not too far off possibility actually.... The Thunder Fox was introduced in the middle of the Jihad era. Right now everything they're doing is Succession Wars up to Clan Invasion era. Jihad is the logical next step after they sufficiently cover those other two.
That Devastator…
Freaking Swolehammer! I love it.
I dont want to admit I recently bought the Jihad Technical readout ......... really tempted to field a level II of the Celestial omnimechs , but I feel id still retcon most of the Jihad out in my head and think of WoB as just a temporary faction in and around Terra and the Chaos March
Haha love this. I am right there with you.
I increasingly like the jihad era wackiness

I too want Protomechs. I bet more people would like them if they got a redesign. I know the goofy animal designs aren't everyone's cup of tea.
I could definitely be talked into a redesign !
Definitely. They're such a cool idea lore-wise but the fact that they're essentially BattleTech fursuits is pretty oof
Thank you all
Thank you for watching!
We're still missing a ton of card and digital content from the first campaign.
An excellent surprise to see a video on a day besides Wednesday. I always welcome more Death From Above Wargaming during the week. I do like hearing thoughts on upcoming products, or rules changes. Thom should green screen(or have a big enough poster) of Nikolai Malthus happy cackle meme behind him, instead of the white wall, when doing calls like this. A BattleTech themed background.

I agree ! I will relay this him.
Also - we are aiming to drop a Jump Point episode every other Sunday in addition to the normal Wednesday content!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming I am looking forward to it! And will let BattleTech friends know, to help you grow your channel
I love the idea of a mech hangar background
Heck yeah more mechs. 56 seems kind of low but I'm not as interested in the normal tanks. Can't wait to hear the THOM Questions. Someone will ask what Amaris's shoe size is or something.
LOL
Great content as always, Gentlemen. I'm enjoying this new format of show as well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching!!
I say yes on WoB level II surely I dont think a Grand Crusader says ComStar
Great to see Dom on the show. I love his channel.
He is the man!
Us too :)
I hope in the new Kickstarter they put the grand Titan it's my favorite mech of all time and I really want a new model of it
For sure want to see a Berserker.
Such a great mech! I tried getting a 3D print and was disappointed - need a CGL plastic one!
Honestly I'm excited for the potential protos and WOB Celestial/Demon designs. I used to hate the eras after the Fedcom civil war, but ended up loving them.
These things do tend to grow on you…

Ohh, dropships would be cool.
rather than "two butts" , Tom, may I offer the term cod piece ?

I would like to see them bring out fighter designs that didn't get metal miniatures such as the rogue and Ahab.
@@boneshaman8912 Agree, and atmosphere fighters & helicopters deserve a wee bit O'luv too.
Great stuff! I am hoping for a return of space Navy in the ilClan
😂😂excellent series Aaron proclaims and yet I learned Zero from it🤪see I know how to use the internet too and you didn't tell me anything new🤪
I cant wait for plastic Celestials
Starslayer looks decent, not a fan of the Devastator. The cockpit/head doesn't fit with the rest of it IMO. As far as LAMs go, I'll never understand the interest in those. They weren't popular in the 80's, one of the reason they never gained any momentum. I'd rather see armor and VTOLs (helis).
100% not to mention the rules are a nightmare.
Spend three turns converting between forms
In your closing you ask for thumbs up etc. but you don't suggest people check out Dom's Duskhunter channel?
Must have slipped their mind, I wouldn't think it wasn't mentioned out of malice.
Ha! That's actually at my request. I don't want the good name of DFA besmirched by my incredibly unprofessional and unedited material :P
Thanks though C Fox, appreciate the love!
Haha
Pretty sure it was mentioned via a popup in the opening minutes!
Another vote for this to continue from me. CGL isn't very good at letting people know that stuff is happening.
The dice were terrible. I have the full set.
It’s so weird… it feels like there are a million reputable places (chessex, koplow, 3D printers haha) that could have pulled this off for CGL.
Get me a box of 5x5 IS Standard battle armour and I'd buy a battalion for my mercenaries.
Still waiting on my parallelogram voucher 🤣
LOL any day…
