Catalyst Game Labs just released the new BattleTech: Recognition Guide, Vol. 1: Classics, full of the most recognizable mechs out there!
BattleTech has been around for quite some time now, and while the game is always moving forward with great new minis and rules, some of our favorites are quite old. However, instead of just leaving them in the dust, this new tome will let you use your favorites in games!
This is especially awesome if you have an older collection of models, as this gives them updated rules to compete with the new models. Plus, who doesn’t love using their old collection of minis? We sure do! Let’s take a closer look.
BattleTech: Recognition Guide, Vol. 1: Classics: PDF $14.99 / Book+PDF $34.99
Not only does this have new and updated rules, but they also have pictures of every mech, meaning you can know exactly what everything is. Sometimes, you bought the minis so long ago; you might have forgotten everything they are!
Since this is their book, we’ll let them tell you a little more about what to expect inside:
The march of technology across BattleTech’s eras is relentless—but some war machines never die. As the ilClan era dawns, the most recognizable BattleMechs stand ready to carry your banner into the future, bristling with cutting-edge weapons and armor.
BattleTech: Recognition Guide, Vol. 1: Classics collects some of the best-known Inner Sphere, Clan, and ComStar BattleMechs, rebuilt with the latest technology to keep them competitive on modern battlefields. This volume is the companion to Recognition Guide, Vol. 2: ilClan, and contains material originally published in the bestselling PDF-only BattleTech Recognition Guide: ilClan series.
Each machine is fully detailed with an illustration, in-universe development notes, battle histories, and notable pilots for each unit.
That does it for this one, now stop staring and go grab yourself a new book!
