... Meets immovable object

[AndyJames]

Banshee is crap. You want one that look badass, take a look at the Hauptmann. That thing is chopping on a cigar while blowing your rear away

Mad Dog is Clan. If you want Clan-tech, then I would have to go with the Warhawk-C.

Gun for a face. I didn't say it had to perform well, none of the outdated models are top choices for that.

But really.

Gun for a face. Beat that on looks.

Mad Dog is Clan.

That'd be why it's a better choice.

 

MadDog'll always be my baby though.

What gun for a face? It looks like a motorcycle helmet...!

I guess the one that came on the cardboard cut outs that came in the box with the rules (cause when I was 12 I hardly had the cash for that, much less actual minis) was just very poorly drawn.

It always looked like a gun-face to me.

Blech. Never been a fan of the banshee. And yes, the atlas is WAY overrated. I can't stand assaults that can't hold their own at range, since you can never count on keeping the stuff you want dead close to them. I'll always have a soft spot for the Stone Rhino / Behemoth and the Kraken III / Bane III - especially the latter's eight(!) LRM-15 racks. 

[AndyJames]

Yeah. For IS 'Mechs, the updated King Crab is about as mean as they go:

2x Gauss Rifles, 1x LRM-15, 1x Large Laser.

Of course, the new Devastator beats the nuts out of it with: 2x Gauss, 2x PPC and 4 Medium Laser.

Congrats. You've successfully rediscovered inertia.  :rolleyes

 :jawdrop wtf happend here?

  i dont think motionless is the same as immovable
you know a corpse is motionless too...
but noone would argue that it cant be moved
(no im not thinking necromancy here)

[Amechra]

Did someone say necromancy?
<Casts Create Greater Undead, and Rebukes with a bonus of Cheese>
Well, enough silliness.

A silly question: who would win in a fight, Battletech Mechs or a party of D&D characters, as long as both groups were at about the same optimization level?

True dat

Casts protection from Flame
({[<What would happen if the Zerg, the Borg, the Tyrannids, and the Slithers all met on the field of battle? My theory is that it would be a prolonged orgy of violence, ending with the apocalypse>]})

NOOOO! Shit, I just got disenchanted.

the emperor, of course. to say otherwise is heresy of the highest order, punishable by BLAMM'ing.

The audience.

Thanks for your answers. Now, all we need is a handbook on how to DM those fights, and this could be the beginning of an epic campaign.

<DM> You see a bunch of metal monsters in front of you. What do you do?
<D&D player> I cast Glitterdust!
<Battletech Player> I have computer sensors
<D&D player> Well, fuck.

Then three million ghost in the machine puns.

[Anklebite]

Then three million ghosts in their machines.

fixed that for you. 

but, then again, the two aren't exactly mutually exclusive. quite the opposite, in fact.


lets just declare "max optimization", so I can bring my caster level abuse.  epic monsters are epic, and gateing is fun.

<I gate in... the Lexx>. There. This has now officially escalated.

I'd be happy with just Zev...

Really though? Nothing stands up to the emp

Except Horus, but that's a whole different can O' worms

technically speaking, that was horus + 4 chaos gods vs the emperor, and horus still lost that one.

just don't get me started on failbaddon the armless.
