Mine weren't too bad .... but I'm not picky Im generally not too picky either, but 8 quid a mech and "the dip" isnt too forgiving on mold lines if they are quite bad

are u painting the same pack? is there a difference between the two clan packs in terms of quality. I did notice that these are the older sculpts which would also explain the extra mould lines

N yh your right , these arequite old sculptfrom looking at the ral partha online catalogue. There are a lot of II and IIC variants, also resculpts. The ones we got are probably from the original line lol

Does it matter what colours you paint them? or is there a colour sheet somewhere that tell you the campaign colours or clan colours etc etc ?

check this out dude if you're looking for inspiration. It also gives specific colour schemes for dozens of military units if you wanted to be 'authentic'. Personally I'm painting them whichever colour I like, but with a vague nod to certain factions (e.g. Blue for my Lyrans as they're associated with it. The same for my Capellan pirates being painted jade green).

Wow, that camospecs link is awesome!. loads of paitned mechs, pleanty of ideas Glad it helps mate. If you go onto the gallery, you can choose a faction and then see examples of their colours. All factions use all colours, though some are more associated than others e.g. Marik Purple, Steiner Blue, Liao Jade, Kurita Red, and Davion Green.

Once we've got a few games under our belts, I'm quite keen to see what a full on clan game is like. P.s. Yeah, the mech you're talking about is called an Awesome, and pretty much outguns my entire lance on its own.

Battletech starter box....... Is your hunchback doin a samba ? Are the mechs in teh box plastic? or "heat it up" n re position restic (or plastin ? EDIT: another reason im not going to rebase on to hexes, is they have numbers on the bottom of the mechs, havnt read the books yet but i imagine somewhere it will tell me the names

Yep numbers are what the mech represents and the right load out for model

The new models should be much higher quality and so should't be warped - sorry to hear that dude. I beleive they're good ol' plastic so not sure how they're reactic to boiling the jebus out of them. This is why we need to get Phil involved in CBT. He loves all of this modeling guff.
