BUILT FOR WAR: A new fan TRO featuring art by Matt Plog and Shimmie

Bolththrower · Apr 20, 2016

Saw this on r/battletech seems there's a cool fan TRO at work.

Here's a message from the lead dev Josh DeBoe:

I'm the lead on a team producing Built for War, a fan TRO that will feature new art by Matt Plog and Anthony Scroggins (Shimmering Sword) for over a hundred units. The TRO is still in development, but we're announcing it now so people can check it out and give us feedback. We'll be releasing a preview TRO on April 30th.

Our blog - http://builtforwar.blogspot.com/ - has details, updates, and advance previews.

Built for War will be free to download when completed. We're seeking contributions, but we're not making any money off the project and all contributions go to paying the artists.

Hope you like what you see.

Thoughts? I myself really like it and even contributed 10$ for the project. and seeing as it will be free for everyone and the only reason for donations is to pay the artists.

Built for War is a TRO for the BattleTech universe that will feature over a hundred new units with original professional art, full write-ups, record sheets and MegaMek files, and more. ‘Mechs are the primary focus, but they’ll be supported by tanks, VTOLs, battle armor, and maybe even an aerospace craft or two. Built for War is set in the Late Republic and Dark Age eras, between 3100 and 3150, and includes new units for Great Houses, Spheroid Clans, and Periphery States alike.

We've been working on this project for over two years now, laying the foundation for a successful production. A preview TRO will be released on April 30th, featuring four ‘Mechs, two Combat Vehicles, and two Battle Armor suits, so you can get an idea of what we've been doing and what the final product will look like. You can also check out these full-size previews of some of the art we've got done below right now.
