That's the first full BT video after the attempted canceling of Tex for daring to talk to Arch, right? Am I getting my dates wrong here?

It is, you are correct. I'll barely miss the premiere but considering it's an over 300GB file (per the community posts he made this week, don't know how to link those) in a 1.5ish hour video, my expectations are high. Which is abnormal but Tex always delivers.
 
It is, but I could have sworn around that point where they were sperging about Tex just talking about games with Arch, the BPL was starting their research for the Warhammer.

I think Tex also made a community post where he outlined which BT topic he would be covering next. The Warhammer had already research and work in it when the "scandal" hit.

I mentioned the attempted cancellation because of the pinned comment:

We know it hit the guy pretty hard, and I feel this might have been a reference to it.

Godspeed, Tex. We who are about to harvest salute you.

Torn between watching it and getting disappointed...at the fact that the Atlas and Awesome won't get the treatment these latest talks got.

If it's Altases you want, check it out, there's a new Steiner Scout Squad at the end and it had me rolling with laughter.

But yeah, I hope Tex might redo those older ones in a similarly elaborate style.
 
I already run a Warhammer-6K on my pre-Invasion IS formation and a IIC on my Ghost Bear/Dominion Trinary so that video was a whole lot of preaching to the choir as far as I'm concerned.

Some damn fine preaching to the choir, though. I had no idea where he was going with that huge fucking tangent about the Baron class right at the start, but he somehow managed to wheel it back and we got a bunch of Concordat Stronk memes out of it.

I like that Tex consistently takes the time to show that the Star League was a period of unprecedented "peace" in the Inner Sphere (if you weren't an anti-Cameron dissident or... in the Periphery in general), but it all came at a price. The Blackjack, Marauder and Rifleman videos also follow that line of reasoning. The Star League was always fraught with issues that our rose-tinted neurohelmet-wearing Clanner friends very pointedly ignore.

Good things come in pairs, Tex releases a new video and this dropped a day before yesterday as well:
Core Products back in stock, Update on new releases, incoming Kickstarter featuring Merc units: mechs and tanks(!)

So CGL restocked on AGOAC Boxes (reprint of 25k boxes!) and a few other things, new BattleForce sets with game tokens, novels and so on, but the cream of the crop:

New Lance Packs!

All these packs will drop between Fall 2022 and Spring 2023. Bit of a question here, what's the Mech in the bottom row on the right in the Gray Death Legion box? Some Clan machine, I presume?

If only they offered packs of waterslide decals. I know there's a shop selling those, but they are obscenely expensive (especially when you order them from abroad) and I utterly hate that I get a sheet of a bajillion identical decals. If I could buy a sheet of Steiner decals with a bunch of the official unit insignia on there, too, I wouldn't mind, but I'm simply not going to buy 3 overprices sheets of paper for a single lance and then use 4 decals per page and let the rest rot in my drawer.

In fall, there'll also be a new Kickstarter, featuring a shitton of variants of established mechs as well as redesigns of some vehicles, such as the SRM/LRM Carrier, the Demolisher and the Galleon Light Tank

Looks like an Awesome Variant. Head looks like an Awesome the Battlefist with 3 Big guns just a shoulder gun thrown on it.

Edit: AWS-9Q maybe I see only 7 laser weapons on it so not sure what variant it is. Maybe a special one since its part of a specific Merc unit.

Its a Regent. So partly right lol.

If you scroll down you will find each box with a blurb on its contents.
