Hey everyone, new to Battletech and know barely anything about the lore.
I’ve got this idea in my head of playing a sort of ragtag rebel army with plenty of infantry, tanks, and what few dregs they could get their hands on for mechs.
What mechs should I look into for this sort of theme?
Also are there any established lore factions that this concept fits into?
Urbies. That’s all you need for mechs if you want a trash rebel force.
Catalyst Labs even leans into this and sells an Urbie box.
Supplement with modern military infantry and vehicles from GHQ.com.
Lore friendly in almost all circumstances. Especially easy to play as some kind of dirt poor mercenary outfit during the succession wars.
“What great house did you buy all these mechs from?”
“Uhhh it no longer exists.”
Engine stalling noises
“You’ve got to put it in ‘H’!”
happy trashcan noises
Thanks!
