FAQ

Does BattleTech have other names?

BattleTech first entered the wargaming scene in 1984 as “BattleDroids,” with factions of space-faring humans fighting for control in mech suits. It’s also worth noting that MechWarrior: Dark Age and its subsequent continuations are also part of the franchise, delving more into additional and later parts of the conflict.

What’s the best way to get into BattleTech?

Whether you’re new or returning to the battlefield, or looking to get your friends into BattleTech model kits and wargaming, we recommend relying on starter sets and that famous “rule of cool” in hobbying. If there is a particular faction or part of the lore that draws you in, then start there!

What is the purpose of the BattleTech card decks?

BattleTech card packs and decks are ways to bring wargaming into an even more miniature format so that you can continue your endless conflict in TCG form in addition to tabletop 3D replicas. This is different than some other card decks in other wargaming series, where cards are for additional challenges, missions, or enhancements to the existing tabletop games.

How do you recommend I paint my BattleTech mech models?

Like everything in wargaming, nothing beats consistent practice and being willing to mess up. Otherwise, start with priming with your undercoat, and then add base coats for the actual look of your BattleTech model kits, before adding contrasts and other enhancements. We carry a variety of model kit-friendly paints, including paints from BattleTech.
