Battletech
Hey everyone, just kind of a mod announcement: I'm looking to improve our federation with Lemmy. If I look at this from my lemmy.world account, I don't see any posts. Does anyone know how to improve this? [\#battletech](https://kbin.social/tag/battletech)

So, found out there's a Battletech community here; I haven't played anything related to it in years. Think the last time I touched a Mech sheet was 20 years ago! Hoping I can still contribute somehow. xD [\#battletech](https://kbin.social/tag/battletech)
Posting this here so it doesn't get lost if the subreddit goes down. Thanks /u/TheLeafcutter for approval and for creating the below! > > > Greetings, MechWarriors. Last week I decided to update my MegaMek fluff images--you know, the ones that show up on your record sheet or when you preview a 'Mech--to the new redesigns. Master Unit List has the line art for each 'Mech, so it was just a matter of search, then save image to the MegaMek folder. Well, one thing led to another and I ended up downloading images for all of the 'Mechs. And by that I mean all of them. BattleMechs, OmniMechs, IndustrialMechs, LAMs, super heavies, Solaris, boondoggles, you name it. If it has a canon image, Master Unit List has it, which means so can MegaMek. I figure I should share my work to make this easier for others, so I bundled them up in a handy little zip.

All I did was bundle them up. If you see any issues or missing images let me know and I'll fix them. > > > > As a side note, these are also what I use if I need to print out some paper standees to serve as proxies for an OpFor or something.
