I stopped closely following BT back before they did the FedCom civil war and this could be a help in catching up to the current era. I’m hoping it can also spark some interest from friends to give BT a try.
The Word of Blake's "Jamboree" was truly an unspeakable time
Thanks for doing these book previews. Everyone's doing the boxes/models which is great, but I want to see more previews of these new materials too! Now, if you could get ahold of the new Hinterlands source book...
One could hope!
This book is one of the things I'm waiting for with my KS stuff
I need this book so bad!
Great review! Looking forward to more videos.
Great video. I will getting that book.
Thank you !🎉
Love this book!
Thx for sharing- as someone new to the game i think it looks like a nice introduction to the fluffy side of things
Looks like it would be a good book for people new to the lore.
Its a nice coffee table book to have around to flip through when you want to reac something intersting. Not needed though but nice.
Nice preview!
these look like some great source books
That's a good looking book
A pretty book with lots of art, good era maps & a very generalized overview to lend context to technology, factions & history.
Ok, time to extent my libraray ... or better, exchange my 40k collection with the Battletech books. shelf space is scarce these days.😅
Great video.
I NEED IT
It's a good looking book. I'll probably get one for the shelf. A bit disappointed by the truncated content on the "Lost Clans" and other mercs.
Lol RUclips being absolutely ridiculous with the WoB "fun time" still cracks me up. We don't ban a lot of words related to things that happened in history but hey what can ya do?
I think it is unfortunate that the cover layout team didn't shift the artwork a little in just about any direction, as the art combined with the "S" in universe makes that look like a dollar sign...
I didn’t notice that…you aren’t wrong 🙄. Big oof and an easy thing to have adjusted as well.
What word can't you say? please, thanks, sorry, funderful, non-alcoholic, compassion, shrimp-toast, antiquing?
I gotta know!
It starts with a J and ends with a STEINER SCOUT LANCE OF FOUR ATLAS

Geehad Era. (Spelling of course). RUclips doesn’t like the word. Context has gone out the window for them.
@@Thearmedpainter AI can't review context... yet
I've gotten to the end of the Star League chapter in my readthough and It's good stuff, but like, nothing I didn't already know about. While bieng one of, if not the biggest BattleTech book ever it's still only a surface dip into the universe overall, which is to the univer'se benefit that there's so much to delve into, and it's very impressive that they got so much in here. I do feel it's a bit... I don't want to say flat but the writing doesn't have the same verve a lot of BattleTech books have, maybe that's down to being written from an omniscient out of universe perspective instead of in-universe like most BattleTech sourcebooks? It's probably also a side effect of how much information they're trying to pass along and in an accessible manner to boot.
Does it read more like history rather than a story? Might explain it being a little flat. I’ve personally not read through yet.
@@Thearmedpainter Exactly this, It's not a straight timeline, it jumps around a bit inside the section to keep any given two-page spread on a specific subject, but the Star League section for example talkas about the dawn of spaceflight, the diaspora, the contraction of the Terran Alliance, the rise of the Hegemony and the Great Houses, the Age of War, the formation of the Star League, the development of the Battlemech, the Reunification War, the Hidden Wars, the Amaris Civil War and the Exodus.
Got my hands on my Davion book. For all the hemming and hawing of the iLClan era, they sure didn't put anything in there for force building. I think it's a huge miss. then again, my opinions have been very negative on this KS for a fair bit, so I probably have a bit of a biased opinion.
That is for sure a huge missed opportunity. I’m convinced the powers that be are stuck in the past hence the muddy focus on the new era but the continued focus on CBT over AS.
@@Thearmedpainter I mean....There is a metric ton of stuff to use in the new era. I dunno why it's not there. Just a huge miss.
If I recall correctly, BT artist tend to use real life people for their artwork of people.
Been doing it since 1st Ed as a money saver and to make the job easier. Also, ppl inheriting family looks irl, etc...
just like almost all artists do
When is this released? I missed it in my KS because I am so new.
I’m not sure :/ I was under the impression it wasn’t gonna be released until after the KS fulfilled but CGL started selling them at GenCon and other conventions.
Maybe I missed when is this coming out or how do I get it?
It was on the KS and released (for some reason early) at a few cons this year. This copy was loaned to me, but I did buy one at NOVA Open this year.
Auto buy! Use for my discount code lol
I wished i was able to back the Kickstarter..
I borrowed this from a viewer, I didn’t get it on my pledge :/
