MWDA collection in Adelaide

Mechwarrior Dark Age is a collectable miniatures game where players play with 3 types for figures , mechs , vehicles and infantry . Players need to utilize combine arm tactics to win a game.

The primary feature and the main reason why players are drawn to Mechwarrior Dark Age are the mechs player could use to wreck havoc. Mechs are big 3-4 story tall walking war machine which could dish out insane amounts of firepower while at the same time armored enough to take what it can dish out.

In Battletech , the original game where MWDA was based , you need a mech to take out another mech. Vehicles and infantry  were cannon fodder.

In MWDA however, due to the combine nature of the game, whether by design or by accident , vehicles and infantry could take out even an assault mech within a few turns. Mechless armies could wipe the floor even when against the most balanced mech army. This is one of the few complaints from MWDA players who wish that the battlemech should be king of the battlefield , not vise versa

Introduction aside, below are a few pictures of the mods that my friend have made (Credit goes to my friend who has a little too much time on his hands) .   

I also have a page which shows my MWDA collection I am having with me here in Adelaide at this page : Paanjang's MWDA collection in Adelaide so far

Shown in picture : Marauder II and a Panther MK2

.The first time he showed us the first mod he made , the common reaction was " OMG! It is the Panther !" . Then one of our players ask which LE it is from . Some ask which part my friend salvage the head , body, etc from.  Needless to say, all of us were in awe over the mod.

The panthers were made from parts of a JES II (the one with huge LRM 20s ) and green construction mechs. The Marauder II was made with the Lego, sortek assault craft and parts from a JESII.
