Across the BattleTech universe, mercenary warriors are an undeniable presence on the battlefield. Whether they fight for pay, personal glory, the thrill of combat, or just the hope of keeping their unit together a little longer, mercenaries have played a decisive role in conflicts around the Inner Sphere for centuries.
Building on the wild success of the Clan Invasion Kickstarter, the new campaign from Catalyst Game Labs will bring more than 50 new plastic miniatures to your battlefields, including BattleMechs, and for the first time ever, plastic combat vehicles to augment your 'Mech forces. Among the miniatures in production are the Firestarter, Griffin IIC, Ostroc, and Kraken ’Mechs, as well as the Galleon Light Tank, SRM/LRM Carrier, and Demolisher Heavy Tank. A variety of mercenary-themed stretch goals will also be included.
Originally slated for launch in 2022, the campaign was pushed back by CGL to 2023 and occurring on March 23 2023 10:00 Central/11:00 Eastern to coincide with the first day of the Adepticon 2023 wargaming convention. In recognition that BattleTech is a global game, to coincide with the Adepticon launch, CGL organised and supported Community Launch Parties worldwide as companion events. To build interest ahead of the campaign a number of PDF previews were released along with a pre-launch page on January 13 2023 to register interest as well as releasing
