Got the Warrior/Pike pull that you got, and the small stand for the Warrior was actually half-removed on mine so I was able to mount the mini on the longer stand easily. I got the same pull a week later and same thing - the small stand was easily removable. Not sure if the Warriors shipped with tight stands and I ended up with the two exceptions to the trend...
European pledges are held up due to customs issues that they are still currently trying to resolve. I'm glad to see you got some merc stuff for Christmas. Was hoping for some new Salvage boxes for the Salvagemas event this year, but I have plenty of mechs to keep me busy painting well into next year.
@PlasticraicGaming Thank you, I was hoping my larger pledge would have arrived. It blows how folks are still missing their stuff, fingers crossed it gets resolved soon!!
Slight correction on the hetzer: It has only 32 armor on the front and 22 armor on the side, and is infact quite easaly destroyed and even easier to outmaneuver since its AC20 is not in a turret and its not very fast. Not quite the beast, but more like a very nasty surprise when you turn around a corner and stare down the barrel of one. A one shot wonder so to speak XD
@riptors9777 Great shout, I just remember this one hetzer that felt like it had a lot more armour and would just not go down, must have hit both sides and front, which made me falsely think it had way more. Most vehicles are easily destroyed but this is BattleTech, and we are at the mercy of the dice gods.
@@magnushobbiesandgaming7683 What i found makes vehicles an easier target is that they are so easy to immobilize. Most of my vehicle kills come from the fact that after a round or two of getting fired at they turn into sitting ducks, wich then can either be dismantled without them being able to fight back, or completly ignored. But then you have that one time that little SRM carrier gets to unload onto your Atlas and turns it into 100 tons of scrap metal in one turn XD (Seriously though.. SRM carriers are scarry)
i wonder why people want the hovercrafts floating off the base ... that's not how real skirt based hovercrafts like the ones that the tanks are based on work. the skirt stays on the ground and its what hold the air under the platform so it can stay level
Great comment, and a solid point. I think there are two things, firstly it is the aesthetic look which comes across better. Secondly, I think this maybe comes from futuristic sci-fi shows like star wars where they are hover vehicles which do not use skirts. But I totally agree with you, great point to make.
I've seen a lot of comments on the small stand being difficult to remove on the warriors
