Bane of Goldilocks - Unit Spotlight: Clan Ghost Bear

Clan Ghost Bear is one of those weird Clans that I was fond of for a bit, then not fond of at all, then fond of again. A Crusader Clan during the initial Clan Invasion, the loss of some of their Khans put them firmly into the Warden camp. And then they relocated to the Inner Sphere entirely with the help of Clan Snow Raven and their Leviathan-class WarShips. It's probably because I main Clan Wolf. The Bears are a solid rival, even moreso than the Jade Falcons, but with their feud against the Hells Horses winding down, and their eventual absorption of the remaining Rasalhague worlds, I really just want to hammer smash their faces. With a Tomahawk II. And some HAG/30s.

I picked Tau Galaxy because I felt comfortable in doing the paint scheme, mostly, and I tried to plan it out more up front than my normal organic strategy of just buying everything and then deciding what to do with it later. Each star has a task, but of course, they can still be mixed and matched. Despite Tau's status as a second line Galaxy, the 1st Bear Regs field a decent amount of OmniMechs, concentrated mostly in Galaxy Commander Cote's command star. I actually prefer a lot of Clan Ghost Bear's standard BattleMechs for their awesomeness, but especially the Ursus, Arcas, and Grizzly. Just missing a Kodiak and some newer tech like the Bruin for total domination. In addition to the canon Cote, I built a single non-canon NPC in Star Commander Brynhildr Jorgensson. I mean, nothing says "vikings in space!" like a Valkyrie at the helm of a Stone Rhino, quiaff?
