Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers
Citizens honored, the Fourth is -technically- more or less a Liao line unit now, but I still like to consider them a mercenary force in the same sense that ilClan-era Big Mac is; yeah, they were mercs, then became House, but who knows what the future will hold?

C'mon, it's the "first" mercenary unit, if you read BattleTech novels in release order. I'm not 100% attached to the unit from the original trilogy, though I did enjoy them, but I am for sure digging them in the ilClan era as part of a Hinterlands campaign. They might convince me to do a 21st Centauri Lancers as well to go along with them, or a Tamar-inspired unit as an homage to the old Pact worlds. Plus, I needed a place to keep chucking Bushwackers since Catalyst seems to love adding them to Force Packs I'd other purchase heavily, & Ronan Carlisle did pilot a Guantlet (OmniMech Bushwacker) originally so it felt natural to have one per company.

I originally painted a lance for the kid, as a Christmas thing. Then, leading up to his birthday, I did one or two more a week and added them to his shelves to see if he'd even notice. After, I got a case that held 24 miniatures and figured, eh, why not build a double-company merc force. Other members of the 357th ID use them much more than he does, but they're there if/when he gets the urge.

I once drank a can of Monster Khaos. The old style can, black with orange lettering, not the new orange cans. And I thought to myself "self, that is a GREAT color scheme. You should make a merc unit that color. AND you should make them former members of the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces who sided with Katherine and skipped out before Victor could mess with their stuff too much." So here we are!

When the bagpipes hit in "Dune" and you're like "ATREIDEEEES!" but in BattleTech. I've been a fan of them more for the Dark Ages appearances than anything else. In the Jihad, when they were "blockaded," I always wondered if they truly were cut off or if they helped the Word at first & were later ashamed of all the war crimes. Either way, great for any Chaos March or ilClan campaigns. And might become my "main" Inner Sphere force.

Originally my plan was to do an Overwatch MEKA themed force, but once I got the first couple 'Mechs painted, I realized it was more a Char Aznable scheme than an OW one. If you're gonna do pink, just really do it. Canonicity be darned, I'm using this as a Snord force, once I add a Highlander.
