Miniatures - Armorcast

Armorcast, LLC manufactured larger scale miniatures for BattleTech from 1999 to 2007. Armorcast produced BattleTech miniatures in the 1/60 or 28mm scale using a combination of polyurethane resin and lead-free pewter. The arms and certain weapons could be swapped out, permitting different configurations for OmniMechs. They only produced two clan OmniMechs and one Inner Sphere 'Mech, though it appears that production of additional OmniMechs had been considered as a potential possibility.

Given the different scale and limited range of available 'Mechs, these tended to function more as display pieces. However, Armorcast did post rules for large-scale BattleTech rules that it noted as being a slight alteration of the miniature rules in the BattleTech Master Rules. Using other model kits of similar scale (such as those for Macross/Robotech or Dougram), one could include units other than simply those produced by ArmorCast. A section about painting Armorcast BattleTech models was including in the painting section of Classic BattleTech Miniatures Rules published in 2003.

Armorcast was purchased in 2007 and renamed Armorcast Terrain. Armorcast Models was spun off and retained the license to produce Classic BattleTech models till the end of 2007 when it appeared to have ended operations. Some plans for Armorcast Terrain to renew the license beyond this date appear to have been floated, but such renewal does not appear to have occurred.
