Played the first game of #BattleTechGothic and it's all right. The addition of 'infantry' and 'battle armor' and 'mechs' that are organic but augmented with some unique but simpler weapons ended working pretty well.
Didn't get too far, cause we were deciding on what units to play with.

All right, #BattleTech fans. I've decided not to spoil the future use of this character by naming them so: it's GUESSING time. Name the BT Character and then the real life person I based them on.
What do you win? I dunno... Maybe I draw your favorite BT character?

Fire Martial Bill

(I think I'm def better at backstroies than painting, but watchu gonna do?)
yeah, I know it's "Fire Marshal", but it's a Battlemech, aka, a martial unit. Lemme has my wordplay. Ain't got much else going my way atm.

Anyhow, on to "Bill", here. FMB is a Clan Invasion era 5 series Hatchetman that has been extensively modified by it's pilot, one Seamus "Jimmy" Γ“ Ciardha, a member of Hatchy's Helpers, during the late Dark Age era.

While trained as a mechwarrior, Jimmy's original MOS was as a 12M in the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces. After Grey Monday, in the Chaos, Jimmy would take his family Hatchetman and join the Stormhammers. After seeing the utter devastation wrought on civilian and miltiary alike, by Malvina's Descant first hand on Skye, he would leave the Stormhammers in disenchantment, and eventually land with Hatchy's Helpers, looking to heal, instead of destroy.

Clad in 12 tons of Heat Resistant Armor, "FMB" was also had it's original 10 SHS switched for doubles, and been restrung using prototype Triple Strength Myomers. Aside from it's hatchet, all the original weapons are stripped, and in their place a Fluid Gun, with a 3 ton external "ammo" tank on the back. In the left arm, it carries a re-engineered medium laser, to take advantage of it's ability to cut thru various materials with ease, to use as cutting torch. The hatchet itself appears to be taken from a later model, possibly a 7S.

Buried in it's left breast is a specially tuned & modified Bloodhound Active Probe, reconfigured to help look for survivors in a SAR role. And in the mechs' "belt buckle", Jimmy had a paramedic gear locker installed, complete with portable defibrillator, and other such gear.

While largely pacificist now, Jimmy has been known to unleash the beast upon those who are harming innocents, and more than one of Malvina's Mongols last sight was a Firefighter helmet adorned Hatchetman wading out of the flames to sink it's massive, red hatchet in their cockpit.

Watching myself on the playback (unedited) of our first recording of our #BattleTech #MechWarrior #RPG #ActualPlay and...
Honestly not as cringy as I was expecting...!

We are going to do the second session and edit both before we get our upgraded equipment.
