The $120 ‘Mech Company
The economy sucks.
But there is no reason that should get in the way of your Classic Battletech fix. Even after Iron Wind Metals raised prices twice in as many years, you can still get a decent Inner Sphere company for under a Benjamin and a Jackson.
Here is a full company of ‘Mechs available from Iron Wind Metals.
Scout Lance
Owens 20-690 $7.95 Raptor 20-679 $7.95 Raven 20-992 $7.95 Hornet 20-372 $7.95Strike Lance
Blackjack 20-880 $9.95 Wolftrap 20-893 $9.95 Wyvern 20-775 $9.95 Crab 20-804 $9.95Command Lance
Argus BT-135 $11.00 Bandersnatch BT-171 $11.50 Goliath 20-202 $12.95 Battlemaster 20-210 $12.95
Total cost is $120.00 to the penny. You can probably do even better if you look at other retail shops available online such as Exodus Roads.
I tried to pick good group of ‘Mechs not included in the Intro Box set that would give some options to players while keeping the cost down. Obviously you are not going to be able to get a proper Lyran company but I can’t perform miracles. You have very good proxy material including a full lance of lights, a full lance of mediums, two heavies, and two assaults.
It goes to show you that minis are not always that expensive if you keep you options open.
Happy hunting.
