The final piece of the puzzel is here. The work can continue. Not going to be in the can for this Friday, so this will finally drop next Friday. I apologize to everyone for the delays. This video is going to be special. You'll want to watch it until the end. Thank you. #Battletech #MadCatII
Good morning everyone! Team Catalyst can't wait to see you at Booth #1611! If you see Keith "Xotl" Hann at the booth, make sure to say "Hi" and thank him for all of the work he and the BattleTech team put in on the new Core Rulebook and Box Sets! #goodmorning #GenCon #GenCon2026
Finished painting my next set of #Battletech minis! These are "Kelvin's Blizzard Barons," a merc company inspired by the LEGO Space theme ICE PLANET 2002!
So many people are excited to see our friends Travis Deverell, Tommy Rice, and Timothy Zahn! Team Catalyst is saying that the lines for today's book signings with Travis and Timothy were the largest they've EVER seen at the Catalyst booth at Gen Con! #GenCon #GenCon2026

Oh boy I'm super interested in what's in store for us fans in the second half of this year for either MechWarrior 5 Clans or Mercenaries - hopefully Jade Falcons in Clans!
Not for sale yet we’re afraid - but it’s coming. #BattleTech #tabletop #mecha #miniatures #wargame #Aces
They did not tell me they would have these at Gen Con. If you want one, run (don’t walk!) to the @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social booth and get one before they’re gone.
Selling prints in the Battletech catalyst gaming area at Gencon with Anthony Scroggins. Stop by and say hi if you happen by! #gencon
You guys might even see some artwork that my channel's commissioned over the years. Anthony MAY even have an unreleased piece of artwork from the channel that people won't see until MUCH later even... #Battletech #Gencon

My book tour has me back at home in Utah this weekend and I'll be at Hastur Games tomorrow and Game Grid Saratoga Springs on Saturday. Come see me and play some BattleTech!
Don't know if I ever shared Bocchi the Urbanmech. Painted her, and a bunch of other BattleTech mechs, to introduce a couple friends to miniature wargaming through Flames of Orion. No one showed any interest whatsoever, so we ended up never playing. #battletech
We're one setp closer to the #MadCatII video, with the audio being DONE. I just have to put together the on-screen assets for the video, and then the edits can start being put in to assemble the video proper. #Battletech Small sliver of the artwork from @mmazzoni.bsky.social seen attached.
We've got a new interview for you! I speak with 35-year BattleTech veteran Chris Hartford to learn how collaboration and creation have evolved in sourcebooks and anthologies, and we share our gripes over American spelling. #BattleTech www.sarna.net/news/battlet...

From the folks who brought you the Shadowrun Trilogy. #videogames #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
We're thrilled to premiere our first story trailer for GRAFT. Who, or what, will you be when you escape?
Sorry for the delay again, but we have our next Bad 'Mech, the Rokurokubi! This little guy offers big samurai energy, but you really shouldn't bring a sword to a gunfight. #BadMechs www.sarna.net/news/bad-mec...
Bad ’Mechs – Rokurokubi | Sarna.net
The Rokurokubi charges into battle like the samurai of old, and just like the ancient samurai, it finds itself wholly unprepared for the modern battlefield.

Me whenever there’s new Mechwarrior or Battletech announced:
still got 2 slots open, and still very much got them bills to pay. Also never say no to tips or donations, but like to "sing for my supper" .. or well, sketch... too. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf... www.patreon.com/c/BishopStei... www.deviantart.com/bishopsteiner
still playing catchup, since my hospitalization, on work & bills, but got a power bill ($250) catfood bag ($120), so gonna open a couple slots for light work, examples below & 411 in the ALT PM me for more ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf... www.patreon.com/c/BishopStei... www.deviantart.com/bishopsteiner
A very small slice of the incredible #MadCatII piece that @eldoniousrex.bsky.social put together for me for the upcoming project. I'll hopefully FINALLY be able to start recording this week. My voice is almost back to normal. #Battletech
35 years ago, I played Battletech at a facility in Chicago. It was absolutely incredible: Proper first-person multiplayer mech combat using high-end networked PCs and played from inside enclosed pods. Difficult to articulate just how astonishing this experience was. Years ahead of its time.
OUT NOW! Explore Michael A. Stackpole's full, tie-in story for the legendary game of #BattleTech from Harebrained Schemes with The Crown Ascendency! bit.ly/BT-Crown-Asce... #newreads #collection #fiction #mecha #scifi #mercenary #SolarisVII #HarebrainedSchemes
Another 7 BattleMechs painted this week! That is also unfortunately the end of my unpainted mechs - a collection now of 38 painted mechs. Guess I will take a break from Mechs now until I buy the Alpha Strike and Aces boxes... #BattleTech #Mechwarrior #miniatures #nerdlings
Since I've been down all week sick, and because I showed this off on stream once before. Why not give people a sneak peak into the #Wraith video I'll be making after the #MadCatII comes out? Art was done by Jayden Morris. He delivers all the time. Love working with him. #Battletech
