Hey everyone, new to Battletech and know barely anything about the lore.
I’ve got this idea in my head of playing a sort of ragtag rebel army with plenty of infantry, tanks, and what few dregs they could get their hands on for mechs.
What mechs should I look into for this sort of theme?
Also are there any established lore factions that this concept fits into?
Urbanmechs, Locusts, maybe a Wasp. If you’re thinking slightly heavier tonnage, a clapped out old Catapult is likely.
Yes. Very yes. Lots of stories in the series are about ragtag little bands of mercenaries having adventures among the constant wars in the Inner Sphere or out in the periphery. For example, check out the origin story of the Grey Death Legion.
