Available for Hire!

The Wolf's Dragoons are the most well-known and respected mercenary command in the Inner Sphere, and their MechWarriors are some of the most skilled and feared across hundreds of worlds. Once more, the Inner Sphere is poised for war, and the Wolf's Dragoons are on the forefront. Unleash the Wolf's Dragoons Assault Star on your enemies! Included are the new Annihilator, reposed Timber Wolf, and Rifleman, and new variants of the Archer, and Blackjack BattleMechs—no assembly required—along with ten MechWarrior pilot cards and five Alpha Strike cards. Perfect for BattleTech and Alpha Strike action!

Notes[edit]

  • Four of the five miniatures in this set (all but the Annihilator) represent 'Mechs that had miniatures previously appearing in either BattleTech: Clan Invasion or one the ForcePacks produced in the 2019 Clan Invasion Crowdfunding Campaign. However these four are different miniatures from those prior ones and at a minimum employ distinctly different poses.
  • This was a Barnes and Noble exclusive at its release in December 2021 and for a few months afterwards. It became available for sale through Catalyst Games Labs' own store in July 2022. Catalyst Games Labs would adopt similar temporary exclusive arrangements for some subsequent Mercenary ForcePacks but with other distributors or stores. [3][4]
