Mechs, Mechs and more Mechs. We’ve had quite a bit of Battletech content lately.

Northern Alliance Dwarves and more
I’ve done a few odds and ends for my Northern Alliance warband. First I finished my 5 dwarves. These are very basic, very weak grunts (decidedly un-dwarven characters). Still they’ve proved useful taking objects, sacrificing into things, finishing off downed figures, supplying an out number and adding to the size of the warband. This last … Read more
