@ZombieComputer The Shadowhawk is a classic, but it definitely shows its age. If you end up getting into any of the computer games, it's often pretty solid early on. Just looked up the Thug in sarna, seems pretty great actually. I might put my players against one of those in Destiny in the next few sessions.

I've got a Lance that I'm planning on painting in Lu Sann colors. They're a weird group under the Capellan banner. Not in love with their lore, but the color scheme is super cool.

@ZombieComputer @Vcio hey, that's great! BT is a lot of fun, and the community is generally pretty inviting in my experience. It's nice that the rules are very explicit about allowing proxies, so pretty low barrier to entry for your first games.

Are there any factions or mechs that you've been interested in so far?

@Vcio I had a cd of freeware and shareware games and one of them was basically old megamek. No idea if those two are related in any way, because I couldn't figure out what I was doing. It was just a spreadsheet generator to me, with some cool words attached that I didn't know the meaning of. Then I told my friend about it and his older brother had the books, so my friend passed along some setting details to me. Mainly about how Kitfoxes were very cool because some had a gauss rifle, as I recall.
