For my first post here, after being invited to join, let me start off with a project by me (with some help and input by others) that I 100% enjoy:

"We are Clan Burrock!
Strong and clear, moving through all impassible boundaries
With our acid, we burn the weak foundation
And with our mandibles, we feed on its remains and grow stronger
We are an infestation that cannot be contained
Embedded deep within the Way of the Clans
Nicholas chose us
The true, the vigilant, and the redeemed!"

- Clan Burrock Remembrance

     One Clan that has never gotten significant coverage in the BattleTech universe is Clan Burrock.  Despite their lack of attention, they were an undeniable force to be reckoned with in Clan space.  They were primary dealers with the Dark Caste, allies with Clan Star Adder and Clan Cloud Cobra, the thorn in Clan Fire Mandrill's spine and the mortal enemies of Clan Blood Spirit.  They were even the inventors of the Clan Gauss Rifle and one of the key influences behind the Executioner OmniMech.

     Field Manual Crusader Clans Supplement: Clan Burrock is an addition to Field Manual: Crusader Clans that creates an entry for Clan Burrock before they were absorbed into Clan Star Adder.  The resource itself is fanon however it pulls its information and draws inspiration from canon sources.  This means that it is not an alternate universe, but a resource that can be used for your BattleTech games, with integrity to the BattleTech Universe.  This supplement comes equipped with the history of Clan Burrock, popular tactics, personalities, traditions, even a complete touman with unit abilities.  If you are a die-hard Burrock fan like I am, or into the Homeworld Clans, an avid Clan Blood Spirit player who is looking for information on your enemy, or even a Star Adder looking to recreate the Burrock Absorption, then this is for you!

Interesting.

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.

Yes! The Burrock!

Welcome!

HA!  You sure about that?   ;)

I appreciate the comments.  Nice to see that even a hand full of people actually WANT to know about Clan Burrock.

I figure I should post these here as well.  I made camo for each Burrock galaxy for use in MegaMek plus the images for the Crypt Keeper.  I hope you guys enjoy them!

Starting with each galaxy:

I can't really say I'm much of a Clan fan, or even particularly Burrock. But the project is nicely put together and detailed. Big compliments on that, even if the faction isn't quite my thing.

Thank you!

If you downloaded the camo patterns...  redo it.  I updated them and they are MUCH better.

That is exactly what I have done.  Wolfcannon actually made it much easier because he had an outline for the Clan Burrock touman put together that he let me have.  Others pointed out things to me that I missed.
