Well my daddy was a working man
Put his time in on the line
Fitting parts to autocannons
Working hard for that company dime
Well he got his bulls and he got free
But it's true what people say
You can take the boy out the factory
He's still a Pontiac man today

Cuz we got them Pontiac Lights
Made with pride on Sterope
Got 'em fitted in Vedettes and Marauders and things
And boy, they're somethin' to see
Cuz at Pontiac we don't just build cars and SUVs
We build excitement into everything
Our autocannons will keep you free.

This would be way better as a country song instead of whatever this is.

Anyways what do you guys run on your timberwolf builds in MWO? I'm not able to build anything really killer
 
The only time I saw a Mech painted pink, it was a Blitzkrieg painted in hot pink. Nobody made fun of it either, since the Blitzkrieg is a lunatic design driven by the same crazy bastards who drive Saladins. Fifty tons, 7/11, just enough armor to keep it alive long enough to bring it into range where the Ultra AC/20 turns your Mech into modern art. You can't spend a lot of time shooting at something sprinting along that fast, and ignoring it means it runs right up behind you and gives you a twenty-point enema (forty if you're unlucky).
 
Report on my tourny (went 2-0). SUCK MY DICK I BRING ALL THE HAWK MOTHS

can't bring areo, can't bring field guns? WAAC faggots? Yeah... lmao.

Had good time, during the lunch break some random ass dude showed up I don't think he was even part of the event and cracked open a bottle of red wine. I had like 3 big glasses whoops lol. Shit was hilarious, I normally wouldn't drink during a tourny or from a stranger but guy looked like some werid hobo and opened it in front of us. He poured me and my friend these big cups and mumbled something about "yall playing that robot game? looks chill" we talked he refilled me twice and just walked off. WTF>

I couldn't make that story up if I tried.

when i base i use these steps
1. mud texture and cork chunks to make a rocky bottom
2. prime the base black and paint the base color
3. use purple and teal paints thinned to give color texture (i like to paint it around the rocks)
4. drybrush, using lighter and lighter paints until your satisfied
5. when i use grass tuffs i don't use the whole thing i rip off small bits and roll them into points.

hopefully that helps

MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries dlc announced

Another mercenaries DLC? I guess they're either breaking the Clans -> Mercs pattern, or have ended Clans entirely. [I guess Tukkayiid is a good ending point for Clans, but it would've been cool if they topped it off with a new Refusal War campaign with the Jade Falcons.]

Also, holy fuck a STONE RHINO?
The mod-added SRs are so big they physically can't even fit through the dropship doors without YAML rescaling them.

You play as the Jaguars in Clans, and so after Tukayyid there's nowhere to go except getting Annihilated by the Star League. Which would suck fucking balls.

Each DLC changes which clan you play as. So far, they've had Smoke Jaguar, Ghost Bear, and Wolf. I was just thinking a logical next step from the Wolves at Tukayyid is to have a Refusal War campaign starring Jade Falcon.

Ah, I didn't know that. So could be the Falcons then for sure. Although given they just starred in the latest Mercs DLC might go for something else.

Won't lie though, Adam Steiner asking an exceptionally ill-tempered Falcon (well, more like an average-tempered Falcon) "You dare refuse MY batchall?" was fucking hilarious.
