Nice. I remember in one of computer games thread where I mentioned BT the pc game you seemed like a knower.
I never played the RPG. It was something I was willing to try, but me and my group have a lot of variouts tabletop games that we still hadn't played so I decided to stick to the wargame only.

>You don't really need figurines to play BT.
That is true for any wargame I think. Worst case scenario someone who runs a tournament wont let you in.
>can be played even with coins as mechs (as we did), or with substitutes (any miniatures).
The box I own and some others on the market include several cardboard mechs along with the actual figurines so Im aware of that.
I think 3d printing is the best solution for someone who has access to it. There are tens or maybe hundreds of 3d models avaiable on the net for free already and I have a friend with the printer and he charges only for the materials. Getting them from a proffesional 3d printing company might turn out too expensive.

Those are directly pulled from the MWO/Mechwarrior 5 game I think so idk whats the legal status of those but so far no one removed them.

>Although Catalyst redrew them recently as far as I know.
Yeah I think they went to court over this again and all the so called unseen mechs are back in business. Phoenix Hawk my beloved
