![]() For years it seems like the sculpts for the BattleTech tabletop games have lagged behind the rest of the hobby games industry. The real gems here, however, are the miniatures themselves. No messing around with dry-erase markers or grease pencils here. You even get a set of black-and-white technical readouts suitable for photocopying. Not only does it include eight of the new plastic miniatures versus just two in the Beginner Box, it also includes a complete, 56-page rulebook. While the Beginner Box is certainly the more affordable of the two, I recommend picking up A Game of Armored Combat instead. I’ve had preview copies of both new sets for a few weeks now. Legacy miniatures from the BattleTech: Alpha Strike Assault Lance on the left, brand-new miniatures from BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat on the right. If you’re interested in getting back into the hobby, or just want to indoctrinate some young MechWarriors in your household, now is a great time to get back into the cockpit. BattleTech: Beginner Box is a steal at just $19.99, while BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat is a more full-fledged starter set at $59.99. Now that things have been sorted there are two new starter sets going up for sale on Catalyst’s website. The team tells us that was mostly due to misprinted items. CLASSIC BATTLETECH LICENSEMeanwhile, Piranha’s MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries was delayed into September 2019.Ĭatalyst Game Labs, which publishes BattleTech tabletop games and fiction under license from the Topps trading card company, also met with delays. Its turn-based strategy game, titled BattleTech, also happened to be one of the best games of the year. Sadly, only Harebrained Schemes was able to make the deadline. Previously we wrote that 2018 would be “ the year of BattleTech,” with three new games all expected to debut last year. They also benefit from a brand-new set of fantastic miniatures. Both go on sale tomorrow and include an excellent tutorial for the original game of big, stompy robots. After a slight production delay, tabletop developer and publisher Catalyst Game Labs is finally ready to ship its brand new BattleTech starter sets. ![]()
