Merry Christmas Folks!

I have battletech-related presents for my local battletech opponents, and will get them to all of you...eventually. Sorry, but I seem to be piloting an Urbanmech rather than Santa's Sleigh when it comes to delivering presents.

Sadly, it has been quiet around here this month. Getting sick as hell is to blame, especially when it manifests on the very morning that I was looking forward to playing a game of Battletech vs. Kushial. 

Damnit!!! 

Likewise, painting prettymuch ground to a halt, as has most everything else. Which, given how crazy Decembers can be isn't anything really all that out of the norm. I do have this entire week off from work which is great! Though...with Christmas smack dab in the middle of it, and the obligatory family get togethers it'll likely feel like a whirlwind I'm sure, so enjoying a restful vacation will remain as always elusive (but hey, there will be presents at least right?).

Fear not, January is on approach, and little if anything happens the beginning of the year given everyone's broke, and worn out from the holidays in general. That means there will (hopefully) be time for gaming, with both a tentative scenario game vs. Hoss as well as a rescheduled game with Kushial (dates to yet be determined). Or at the very least there will be painting. 

Anyways, hope all of you enjoy Christmas, the New Year and anything else that pops up along the way! 

The Silence before the storm...

Its been quiet on the battletech front here of late. As often happens in summer, people's schedules go all to hell and gaming often takes a back seat. I have some big plans on the horizon, but nothing is concrete yet so with leave you to wonder about that ambiguous remark. (...snicker...)

Sculpted by none other than the supremely talented John Bear Ross.

I did however order a 'lance' of Heavy tracked APCs from Khurasan miniatures. Lance was in quotes as they'll likely only ever be deployed individually. I only have a single platoon anyways, so having 4 will allow me to paint one to match each of my factions.  All told they clocked in @ $15 with shipping, which is about the same as ordering just two (plus shipping) of the actual IWM sculpts most anywhere online (nobody sells battletech here locally). However I like these minis more than the the IWM ones. 

Oh, and just one more thing I wanted to mention: Hey WestRider, the Kickstarter cracked that $1.5 million mark you were waiting on just a little bit ago!
