the crab destroyed my arm but them retreated. Did I fuck something up or is it normal for them to retreat? I've seen the messages before but this is the first one thats actually followed through with retreating.
Jackson Foster
No, but if the bot tripped its fear trigger, it felt the fight wasn't worth it. Congrats, you won a fight most of us thought you'd have been BTFOed in, though that's because you did more damage than that pirate could have reasonably repaired.
John Allen
The stormcrow is one of my favorite mechs and is stupid good
Asher Peterson
Any Wolf players here?
Some of their designs like the Lobo, Linebacker, Phantom and Pouncer I never really see people use. So I was just curious if anyone here has experiencing using them, and what your thoughts on the designs are.
Anthony Sanders

Austin Walker
Where can I go to learn more about the BattleTech card game?
Ryder Morgan
Pouncer Prime is a fat Adder, A and B are your classic mixed LRM laser boats,
I've only used the linebacker Prime but the B and G variants seem to be of the same vein, it's a fast heavy that primarily uses head-capping weapons.
Aaron Jones
The Linebacker is just a middling attempt to make a fusion of the Timber Wolf and the Stormcrow, and is superseded by both. I've used it when I got it on RATs or forced to for scenarios, but it's not my first choice. The Phantom is basically a less good Viper, since it can't jump, and the Pouncer is a cute but fat Adder. Unfortunately, the 3050 omnis are almost archetypical due to them playing directly on their strengths, except for the Vulture which needs more fucking armor.
Parker Gray
The Linebacker is also often a victim of slightly gimped configs, likely intentionally so. Like the Prime and A mounting an LRM 5 instead of additional heat sinks that both could use more, since 2 ERPPCs or 2ERLLs+LRM 15 aren't lacking in long range firepower.
Jacob Roberts
Not sure, I have a bunch of cards still because I've been a BT geek for ever and as a kid was into TCGs. Honestly I don't think I ever played a game.
Connor Collins
>except for the Vulture which needs more fucking armor. At least it's not a Loki.
Brody Torres
1998.
I thought it was a good, interesting game but even in its heyday it was pretty niche.
Jason Green
"Shortest qi pao" convinced me.
Andrew Nelson
The Vindy looks like he's about to shoot the observer for peeking...
Can we get a Black Knight and a girl in 'mech-appropriate plate armor bikini?
Chase Wilson
Damn that convenient barrel placement!
Have you done the Wolverine yet? Or the Scorpion?
Samuel Hill
>Falcons >superior to anything
Cooper Lopez
Good show, user. I'm laughing like a mofo at the Vindi censor barrel.
Jack Johnson
I like the Wolves, but let's be real here. They spent from 3053 to like 3130 being repeatedly shat on and only got anywhere in the Dark Age by getting the fuck away from the rape train the Lyrans, Falcons, Horses, and Bears had been running on them for eighty years so they could fight a faction the authors would otherwise forget even existed.
The get Worfed even harder than the Dracs.
Julian Brooks
In fairness they did literally chlorinate the gene pool on Strana Mechty, so there is that for them after 3053. Otherwise, yeah...plus, Alaric. Meanwhile, Annihilator.
get check
Parker Baker
You can't rape the willing!!
Chase Smith
>You can't rape the willing!! All yiffing is rape, because animals cannot consent.
Matthew Martin
And some stats, belatedly. Worked better than I thought.
Carter Reed
Your codex says no, but your batchal says yes.
Evan Ortiz
Have you already done Kristen Redmond with her hellbringer/loki?
Dylan Miller
Can someone explain where the "Clanners are furries" thing come from? I'm not an expert on the setting or anything but I haven't come across anything in the lore about that (or is this a meme I'm taking too literally?).
Jordan Richardson
Bit of both. A lot of Clans also have rituals where they dress up as their clan totem.
Pretty sure they also wear masks to the grand council. It's not quite fursuiting, but it's close enough for ridicule.
William Cox
They dress up in furry outfits complete with fur and masks for their ceremonies and councils. They worship their spirit animals like furries, and they fuck around with each other as bad as furries at a furry convention.
They ARE furries.
Luke Murphy
Same. Though I feel like the Wolves shouldn't be able to take terra anytime soon, it's nice to see the clan getting something for a change and having a Kahn willing to pull some crazy shit. Now if they absorbed the Falcons, I'd be REALLY happy.
Jack Miller
>absorbing the Falcons
Falcons are gonna be ilClan bro
Joshua Cox
More like ghostbears, to the leviathans go the spoils!!
Gavin Moore
Ghostbears suck Stone's wrinkled dick harder than a Canopian hooker. They'd never conquer Terra.
Andrew Edwards
Go back to the homeworlds and play with your kerensky logs.
Jace Ross
Read the DA novels. Or read the Jihad stuff. The Bears worship Stone and the Republic. No war with the Republic. No ilClan.
Landon Brown
I don't want you to be right, but CGL is dumb enough to try.
Honestly, outside of my headcannon of the Jade Wolves, though like hell Aliriac would call them that I think the ilclan will be a combination of Bear, Raven and Fox. The Ravens are the top clan when it comes to naval still and have reactivated much of their fleet, the bears are... the bears, and Clan Smiling Merchant has the funds/connections/production to keep their conquest going. While i'll admit I don't see the Foxes WANTING Terra, I do see them going along for the potential profit and to control everything behind the scenes.
Zachary Stewart
There's a few generations worth of time between the DA and the ilClan prelude. Lots of time to change opinions.
General question. I know that warriors adopted into another clan keep their bloodnames and can rise quite high, but are there precedences for an abtakha becoming loremaster? Not counting Minoru Kurita because he abandoned his family name.
Hudson Davis
Falcons have the biggest winning streak in the DA. They've been invading three different states for over fifteen years straight and taking worlds hand over fist. Their leadership is a bunch of nutty skanks, but that's slowed them down about as much as the blackout slowed anyone down after 3135.
>tfw no communications all gets swept under the rug in Late-DA and people magically stay up to date or have convenient command circuits
Andrew Morgan
>clan astro-jew being part of the ilClan
They would probably demand the new star league symbol had only six points to the star instead of the original 8.
Justin Howard
ilClan happens in 3150. What happens is like after 3080, there's a period of decades of stuff not changing much. Then the new books will be set in 3250. ilClan caps the DA, it's not a time jump on its own.
Benjamin Baker
No. Bears are ilclan cause they never lose to scrub, bushleague, amateur hour, minors playing furries.
Connor Gray
Wait what we have mech waifus now
Luis Rogers
They lose by default when they don't show up to the game.
Luke Anderson
The Wolves are so badass the writers had to fuck them over to make things fair.
Sebastian Edwards
Stop putting boobs on a Locust..
Julian Cooper
Not exactly. The split at the end of the Refusal War passed of the protagonist stick to the Exiles. Clan Wolf itself at that point became about the same tier as St. Ives or the FRR. It's not until the DA that they shift back to being the main wolves. Even then, Annie K took almost all of that spotlight with her mongrels until the late-3130's where the Steel Wolves imploded and Alaric got more attention.
Jonathan Allen
Your lumping the bears with cgl, zing!!! Sorry my bear trolling is only 2.5/10, at work and bored.
Ethan Powell
...why?
Jack Russell
Because a Locust has that crotch laser. Are you into futa and trannies, son?
Gabriel Anderson
Well, this IS Veeky Forums.
Owen Morris
>Kristen Redmond Nice quads but she drove a vulture senpai.
Carson Smith
>she drove a vulture That's what I get for checking sarna and not going with my memory
Adrian Ward
Wait so which one is canon? Sarna or the cartoon?
Angel Richardson
Cartoon is, the cartoon is also "canon" as a hyped up version of real events. (in universe) Adam Steiner and Victor are huge in the BT universe, I do wonder what happened to some of the others.
I know Franklin went on to have family IIRC his grand daughter became a big shot for the Dragon.
Adrian Morris
well shit I was already halfway done with a hellbringer version. here's the vindicator edited for better composition in the meantime.
Kayden Cooper
Sorry to burst bubble, but no reason not to finish the hellbringer and add in some random clan wiafu, I happen to love the Loki in fact my cat is named after it.
2 CERPPCs with gotta go fast? Fun as fuck.
Sebastian Scott
I picked up a black hawk after a fight with a clan. Pretty much everything but the left leg is fucked, is it worth trying to repair it without access to clan parts or should I just dump it?
Charles Lee
BH doesn't use Endo or FF, as long as you can repair the engine you should keep it.
Carson Scott
Fucked as in "little internal structure left" or fucked as in "outright gone"?
Nolan Sanchez
Figured out what the confusion was, her sarna page mentions piloting a Loki at Tukayyid. Guess user only skimmed the article.
Jason Lewis
stat me
Holo from Spice & Wolf with a Wolf clan Timber Wolf? Might as well go maximum lupus.
Elijah Sullivan
So Vulture main, rode a Loki at Tukayyid?
Cameron Perry
would you?
Isaiah Gray
No. Not that desperate.
William Gutierrez
this is a grave misuse of trips
Christopher Hill
As the defender, I defend these hips with two layers of clothing and a jar of lube. What do you wager in my triumph?
Grayson Morales
4 D batteries and alligator clamps.
Jaxson Howard
Bargained well and done.
Brandon Jackson
Not even with a Word of Blake cybernetic turbo penis with XL technology for extra girth, combined with a supercharger and MASC.
Jaxon Lewis
Forgot pic... Can somebody tell me what the mech being attacked is in this pic?
Logan White
Link it man
Connor Brown
I can only make out the hatchet man sorry my dude
Oliver Turner
I want to say it's a Cataphract being attacked, but I'm not sure. The feet don't look right.
Joshua Hughes
Cataphract. The right arm hexagonal barrel and the lower legs are dead giveaways.
Easton Garcia
>Clan Sue Adder Not even once.
Easton Jones
How would a Clan Wolf pilot get a Cataphract though?
Jaxon King
>captured during Revival >assigned to second line cluster and by the time of Vlad's Wolves assigned to a frontline keshik because lol what logistics?
Jordan Lee
>How would a Clan Wolf pilot get a Cataphract though?
It's a capellan machine. You can see part of a decal for the limpsword on the arm.
Leo Butler
It'd be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway, but sure, I would. Hopefully I'd survive it too.
Evan Torres
Industrial press seems like a more likely situation honestly
Bentley Sullivan
You have made me a very happy man. Thank you very much.
Blake Cook
...
Brandon Brooks
...
Xavier Lee
My brain says no, but my dick says yes. So probably.
Sebastian Hughes
Kerensky did nothing wrong.
Jeremiah Price
If I wanted to fuck a chick who fucked her siblings growing up, I'd have done that back in high school. So no
Brayden Roberts
How do I use the Dragon? I've tried several of the variants but I can't seem to get much out of it.
Nolan Ross
>How do I use the Dragon? In groups and against mediums.
Samuel Wood
Is a vindicator 1R a decent campaign mech?
Charles Ward
Only if you're a capellan. Fuck finding parts if you aren't.
Hudson Jenkins
Fuckit here ya go.
Camden Ross
I was about to draw a completely different face until google reminded me she existed in the cartoon.
Bonus points to those who recognise where I stole the costume from.
Jose Martin
So what do you do if you end up fighting other heavies?
Liam Jackson
Gang up or hop in and out of cover.
Thomas Lewis
This
Daniel Davis
>Bonus points to those who recognise where I stole the costume from.
Isn't that The Shocker from Spider Man?
Ethan Miller
I'd like to give that Clanner the shocker ;)
Charles Morris
are Pheonix Hawks good? I like lasers but I hate machine guns.
Noah Miller
Pixies are okay, you can replace the mgun and ammo with another med laser, armor, or heatsink if you dislike them that much.
Lucas Thompson
>are Pheonix Hawks good?
Best giant bugs in the game in 3025! Lasers are awesome, and these guys are *fast*, too! If you don't like sitting on a big explosive bullet bomb (and really, who does?), just have your techs "forget" to load the ammo in before the match.
Liam King
I use variants of them all the time. One of my currect players has two in stock.
