Singapore Btech userbar

Well... with the LOTB usebar/sig bar project i was working on finished, and a break coming up , i'm thinking of working on a userbar for singapore battletech.


is the one i did for LOTB and the final one will be similar.
I'd like some input though
what mech do you guys think would be most emblematic of battletech in singapore? (though i might make varients/ and the basic source would be remixable)
colours- should i go white and red...
the font though, and the size is part of the standard so, i can't change them

stuff like that. I'll have a preliminary mockup in a bit, though i'd love to know what you guys think

CBT Da Pow

new word out on the latest CBT box set!

We have a box set. And it will have miniatures.

I cannot begin to describe how fantastic it feels to finally be able to say that. If you click on the box set entry in the product pages, you’ll get a full break down of the contents of the box set, including the 24 ’Mechs miniatures, with a $39.99 price point.

Specifically, the list is as follows (all from the Iron Wind Metals Beginner boxes; i.e. basically the illustrations represented in Technical Readout: 3025): Commando, Spider, Jenner, Panther, Assassin, Cicada, Clint, Hermes II, Whitworth, Vindicator, Enforcer, Hunchback, Trebuchet, Dervish, Dragon, Quickdraw, Catapult, JagerMech, Grasshopper, Awesome, Zeus, Cyclops, Banshee and Atlas.


in addition, a 2nd starter book to accompany Sword and Dragon has been released.

At the dawn of the Jihad, the Wolf’s Dragoons received the full fury of the Word of Blake. Backstabbed by treachery and taken off-guard, five elite regiments were almost obliterated. A mere remnant escaped. The Word of Blake, confident of their success, moved their sight to the entire Inner Sphere. But the Dragoons are far from dead and they plan on making the Blakists pay for every drop of spilled Dragoon blood. Yet striking the Blakists in their own backyard will bring nightmares incarnate.

Black Widow Company: A Wolf’s Dragoon independent command, the Black Widow Company is one of the most famous units of all time: they are reborn to prove to the entire Inner Sphere that the Dragoons are still to be respected…and feared.

Opacus Venatori: A melding of the most elite warriors with the Word of Blake’s Manei Domini cyborg soldiers, the Opacus Venatori—piloting the new cutting-edge Celestial-series OmniMechs—are a hunter-killer force without equal.

A new series, the Starterbooks are a perfect way to jump into the further excitement of the Classic BattleTech universe. Starterbook: Wolf and Blake provides a short synopsis of the history leading up to the Jihad, as well as a brief history and personal dossiers on the members of these two elite combat commands. Comes with record sheets for everyone in both the commands, including eight, never-before-seen ’Mech variants/configurations mounting experimental technologies. Finally, a unique track system allows players to develop their own scenarios—players will be stomping across futuristic battlefields in no time!

Starterbook: Wolf and Blake is a fiction-bridge between the universe history presented in Total Warfare and the current storyline begun in the Dawn of the Jihad sourcebook, while providing a sneak peak at some of the advanced technologies that will premier in Tactical Operations. Can be used with Iron Wind Metals’ Wolf and Blake ’MechPack: Wolf, Wolf and Blake ’MechPack: Blake 1 and Wolf and Blake ’MechPack: Blake 2.
