You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

At least my modified quote has made your canon sig.  Nice to know I can sway the unswayable.

You must be getting on in years. It's my quote, modified by Dragon Cat, but from your thread.

When do you expect to publish your first draft?

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

Not sure. Some stuff has just come up that deserves some immediate attention. However, I might post some of the cover drafts. Not sure which one will make the cut, but you guys might like them.

Some of them are ultra-modern, others are a little grunge looking. The primer itself is topography driven, but there is some good art.

This is one of the earliest covers. A grunge-version of the Mackie. The lower bottom hasn't received much love because the flames are likely to get covered, but I'm happy with this type font for the heading.

The Mackie seems to date it as an earlier period, maybe something more 3rd War would be appropriate?

I don't know . . . the Mackie seems to fit.  I mean, they've got to be yanking out every 'Mech that run in Age of Chaos.  Probably got the Big Mac from a museum!  Anyway, KM, the cover looks cool and I dig it.

This one didn't make the cut, but a different version of it is still in the running. Different font, more grungy elements, etc. I think I'm leaning more towards a grunge or retro layout than an ultra-modern one. Though, I've got two really good ones that use both.

I'm probably going to make a final decision next Monday. I have two more ideas to finish and then I'll make a final decision.

Another basic cover that didn't make the cut. This one was super dark and grungy. Grungy to the point of almost being unusable. Ultimately, I found a nice place for it, just not the cover.

Looks like a compilation of BattleTech pieces. Nice!

Only one image actually. I just embellished it with some new elements, paints and textures. All fun stuff for a grungy magazine-type layout.
