The UrbanMech Lance Force Pack features four variants of the bubble-shaped mech that has become a mascot of sorts for the game, including a new pose for the UM-R60 and a new ilClan Era design, plus four MechWarrior pilot cards and four Alpha Strike cards. MSRP is $29.99.
The Proliferation Cycle Boxed Set offers seven pioneer mech designs from the Proliferation Cycle story anthology, including the first Clan OmniMech, as described in the Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras supplement. Also included are seven Mechwarrior cards and seven Alpha Strike cards. MSRP is $44.99.
Rounding out the trio is Snord’s Irregulars Assault Lance, which comes with four larger mechs: Spartan, FrankenMech, Guillotine, and Highlander, along with four MechWarrior cards and four Alpha Strike cards. MSRP is $29.99.
All miniatures are supplied unpainted. Some assembly may be required. All three kits are compatible with both games.
BattleTech is enjoying a renaissance in popularity following very successful Kickstarter campaigns, the most recent supporting the BattleTech: Mercenaries release (see “Adepticon 2023 News: Catalyst Launches ‘BattleTech: Mercenaries’ Kickstarter”). ICv2 had a chance to chat with Catalyst’s owner Loren Coleman about the resurgence in the game (see “ICv2 Interview: Catalyst Game Labs’ Loren Coleman”). Catalyst has also launched a line of BattleTech plush toys this year (see “Two More Adorable ‘BattleTech: Plushytechs’ Head to Retail”). Alpha Strike, a skirmish-scale version of the game, released last year (see “‘BattleTech Alpha Strike’ Boxed Set Storms into Retail Stores”).
