Nice to see you back Dom! UA-cam has been letting me down on notifications and such. Excellent to see you active and around these parts. And 4th MAC is Best MAC. ;)
@duskhaunters3025 Whatever do you mean? They are all loyal and wonderful units! It's not a war crime if the Chancellor orders it... ;) Seriously though, I'm not sure which one you're talking about as being war crimey. I'll have to dig deeper into that. I just like the 4th because it was the regiment of Faith McCarron, and that get's the cuds all riled up whenever they hear the name "Faith". hehe
@duskhaunters3025 Davionist propaganda! Never listen to what they say about the MAC! Plus the rumor has it that the MAC may be leaving the Capellans in the ilClan era. We'll see
I'll be picking up this pack of most worthy citizen-defenders of the noble Capellan Confederation, mostly for the Tian-zong, next year after the mandated exclusivity period is over - as any loyal citizen should. All praise to the ✨Celestial Wisdom!✨ 🙏
@duskhaunters3025 I'm really looking forward to seeing this. I've been slowly painting the third regiment of McCarron's Armoured Cavalry for the last year (but 3025)) and plan on doing another McCarron Regiment for my IlClan themed army. Do you have any recommendations regarding background fluff for McCarron? I have a PDF old the old scenario book, but that's about it. Cheers!
@@fabiusgallus Oooo nice, having looked into it, it's the 3rd I've been working on as well...the war crime division :D The definitive book on the Big Mac is the scenario pack for sure, but there are loads of extra snippets in the Cappelan and Merc sourcebooks. They've got some short stories as well I believe, but I don’t think they have a specific novel. I could be wrong there though, given the hundreds of BT novels out there.
The Danae Centrella books, she’s in the Macarron’s third or fifth or something. It’s post-republic, and it’s from their perspective, so I think anyone that has listened to those audiobooks will want this! Slightly sad it’s the 9Q awesome, would have loved the R/T/V variant with some LRMs, there’s a design (IWM have it) in 3d. The starslayer is a nice pose, haven’t worked out how the BK is different (haven’t bothered too hard). Got it from B&N shipped to Au for a quarter of the shipping price catalysts store charges.
I should get 3 packs of these around Christmas.next week; found a shop that had them in stock (along with the first two Star League boxes). The Tian-zong looks super cool, but I am a fan of the Warhammer aesthetic in general. I am also more of an Alpha Strike player, so the Gauss placement won't be mich of a problem. The Starslayer is a nice bonus since I don't have the Mercenaries box (and won't be able to get it until it hits retail in the far future), even though I don't enjoy the design visually.
I'm still waiting for my kickstarter to arrive in the UK - had the address confirmation back in November but no delivery notice yet, will be next year now as the delivery address is closed for christmas.
It says pre-order with 11 'in stock' take that with a grain of salt, it did that to me when I bought the "BattleTech: Alpha Strike Boxed Set" from Alchemist in Oct 2022 and received in Jan 2023. The chances are like mine they ordered in bulk from the US and still awaiting delivery in the UK.
@duskhaunters3025 We did get the wolfs Dragoons which was also a B&N Exclusive... eventually anyway lol. I think it's like 6 months exclusive before opening to all. I got mine WD's off ebay at the time for around retail price.
To be fair to Alchemist if their ordering through Asmodae it might not be their fault. (Still sore about how long it took for the succession wars TRO to arrive at my FLGS as a restock. Note it was listed as available when the order was initially placed.)
Must be, unless the hobby stores have managed to procure some product to sell off the usual grid. I guess technically they could order them from the US, and push it on the second sale to punters?
It didn't for other exclusives. It was ages before the Wolf's Dragoons box was released in the UK and there doesn't seem to be any sign of the Grey Death Legion box ever turning up in the UK.

Hello! Nice to hear from you. Which is the evil Big Mac, is it the 4th? That's the one I like...the warcrime battalion :D

Jumping starslayer alone is worth it for me in the US, can't speak for overseas friends though
They have rules in Alpha for dealing with line of sight issues, which for my little game group shouldn't be a problem, but ymmv
I'm a bit of a Starslayer fanboy...
Loving your HInterlands work btw. Keep it up, we need more campaign orientated content.
@duskhaunters3025 new year, new campaign, am I right? 😅

Danai is leader of the Second in Blood Will Tell.
I'm disappointed that her pilot card isn't in this box. I hope these mechs are featured in the book
@ thanks!
@ would have been amazing if they had YLW2 in the box! Guess I understand them not, normally the pilot matches the mechs.
Just picked got mine in the mail yesterday. So far, not bad models.
You’re going to be painting until retirement! Ha ha ha. I love the Starslayer so I’m tempted to order the pack just to get another one!
Have a merry christmas!

My Capellan models are a lance of Death Commandos... I might have to paint some Big Mac now, dangit.

I don't expect to get it before the Spring...just happy we can actually get it, as I thought it was a B&N exclusive!

I think the B&N Exclusive only applies to NA sales.
