Description Here's the cover I made for Battletech's Combat Manual Kurita a while ago.

A Wolverine pilot of the Kuritan 2nd Sword of Light finishes off a Rasalhague Battlemaster after a heavy artillery barrage.

not a good day to be a Battlemaster pilot. Put me in mind of the Battle History bit with Captain Lisa Morgan... except of course she was Steiner, and did in a Kurita Battlemaster.

Haha, that's the DCMS, extremely powerful, until a plot character is around to beat them. If it wasn't for them being a "bad guy" faction, I think they'd be in control of the sphere.
Also thanks for the sub.

Lol, so true! And thank you for sharing your awesome art. If you have an urge to, check out the Cavaliers. It's my best selling btech series.

If I was much of a reader I would, but as it is I still have BT books in my room I've worked on that I haven't even read yet lol.

I don't see any Clan mechs here, only Inner Sphere (unless they were captured by the Clans)- Raven, Battlemaster, Phoenix Hawk(?) and Wolverine.

Brutal coup de grace! I love the vibrant colors and contrast--the red 'Rine against the black smoke against the blue sky... Nice work man, this is a hell of an illustration.
