That would be considered light damage in Battletech

Hmmm... obviously not a Stiener scouting lance. Not enough Atlases.

Yesterday in MWLL my team had a bit of a runaway game. We had several lances of Atlas, Awesome, and Fafnirs while the enemy fed us small groups of medium mechs

Just a thought for the future... any energy beam capable of vaporizing tissue like that would probably cause the body to explode. Flesh and blood gets converted to steam instantly. The effect of the expanding gases would be like an explosive device going off in your internal organs.

Wow. Very nicely done. Poor guy in the front right there, not only has the Mongoose shot him, but it looks like the Assassin is about to step on him too.

Always loved the Mongoose, I can't tell for sure, but is that a Steiner fist crest on the Valkyrie?

Nah it's a ghoul or creature of some sort that they all have for emblems.

Cannot like this enough. Great job depicting a bunch of designs that rarely see any sort of limelight.

Sucks to be the dude at the bottom of the image.

Thanks goes to the fans who commission all the art, if I was calling the shots it'd be all popular clan mechs

Damn clanners. sure, they have all the fancy ryoken and adders, but the Assassin will always be my favorite mech. Thanks for this great illustration.

Have to say I've never done BT power armor, at least not for many years, would be fun to do if it's part of a commission.

Dude, next time I get the funds to commission you again, I may just commission you for a BT Power Armor image xD

Hey man cheers for commissioning Anthony. Its great to see these designs, especially since many are old and traditional Mechs. I was working towards a Vulcan if I get my core set finished, but it was a long ways off.

Awesome, thanks! I'm an old 3025 guy myself, so I always love it when the older designs are used. Cheers!

I played 3028 in Australia and its amazing how easy it was to memorize all the weapon stats! It just comes naturally! Hope you could see some of the other oldie moldy goldies from our site by Anthony and David White. I'll take a look round your profile to see if I can scrounge up any info on your storyline.

DarkKnightCuron In reply to StridersStrikersTeam [2011-12-11 17:09:31 +0000 UTC]

The storyline won't be on my dA profile, it's on a Wordpress Blogsite. I run a BattleTech Campaign in the year 3044 (well, now 3045) for a group of MechWarriors. Check it out!

Very cool. Its good to find your site! Looks like you have some pretty intense house rules on the experience system. Do you play MechWarrior too (rpg I mean?) I incorporated some extra rules when I was in Australia but they were way simple. If you need help with Wordpress let me know. I know a few things about fixing the picture dimensions if you want to change any of them. Very cool site and looking forward to seeing more info as your campaign continues. Sounds like the Banshee Hunters are a group of bad boys.

DarkKnightCuron In reply to StridersStrikersTeam [2011-12-13 01:10:36 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like it! I don't really draw much from the MechWarrior RPG, I just try to make supplemental rules for the group to use, other than just show up to play with the same characters and 'mechs, y'know?

I might recruit your aid for Wordpress sometime. Lord knows I've had problems with this thing in the past.

If you're interested, I haven't ironed out a good concept for a commission, but here's the Battle Armor I had in mind. If you don't like the subject matter, I can choose something else (or you can pick something more to your liking). I'd rather be flexible on something like this xD

Yeah, the legs are pretty funky. Drop that ugly little ball-body on top of that and it makes the Urbie look good.

But boy am I glad you persevered! (And even more glad I put you on my watch list!)
