So, about 30 years ago, 8 year old me watched in awe as some of the older kids on my block played two games that would go on to be the basis for my interest in wargaming - Dungeons & Dragons and Battletech. Tastes and the gaming industry always change so that, by the time I was a teenager myself, both were waning in popularity a bit and were eclipsed by the rising juggernaut of Games Workshop. But the interest was still there in the back of my mind, and I read the occasional Battletech novel or played the occasional Battletech video game (Mech Commander being my favorite). So, I was pleasantly surprised when the game was given a much-needed makeover and a fantastic second Kickstarter focusing on the Clan Invasion. I needed to get in on this.

First off, here's my "starter" set - a group of plastic Mech's I picked up for under $30 and turned into a Bandit/Mercenary Group!

That's a very well executed, cohesive paintscheme. I started with battletech only a pair of years ago, and it has quickly become my favourite miniature game of all time. I always played Inner Sphere, but this kickstarter will see me join Clan Jade Falcon!

I have a to of battletech stuff primed to paint.
