Twenty-six models, a pile of reading material and full rules? Don't mind if we do!

Lt. Brookman Fifty USD, it can be pre-ordered here. These two are the exclusive plastic models: Thor Loki YES YES YES! Also, sad about no Mad Dog but oh well. Not a huge fan of the Timber wolf personally. Edit; After closer inspection, the list is a dirty icky list with only a few IS mech's that I'd want. I know beggars can't be choosers but, that list is of older mech's.. No Raven, no Bushwacker no Centurion.. I could go on but it's a big ol' list of icky old style IS with some new IS. Only Clan is the Summoner and Hellraiser.. This Smoke Jaguar is not happy.

I'm not a die-hard fan, but to me Battletech is personified by the Madcat, which is the poster child mech. To a lesser degree the Atlas, Vulture and my personal fave from my Mechwarrior 3 days: the Bushwhacker. Hmm, I wonder if this is allowed with the board game:

Definately no. I'm almost 100% sure the Atlas's arms can't even move like that.

"A 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally."
Is apparently why.

Merciful mongoose... someone actually got the rights to Battletech and is bringing it back out? That is fantastic!!
I've got pretty much all the original stuff from back when FASA was large and in charge, used to play the game all the time. Hmm... I think I might have to dust off the rule book and get some friends back into the warzone. xp

To go with the list of 'Mechs that are included, a picture of the 24 plastics: The Atlas is looking rather wobbly! gonk

Wow, those are some shitty models! crying
At least the Catapult looks half decent. And thankfully, better sculpt metal 'Mechs can be ordered on-line.

Wow... those I believe are the cheapest sculpts I've ever seen from Battletech... that's kind of disappointing!
