Inside this box you’ll discover epic clashes, dynamic characters, and a myriad of gaming experiences for any type of player: from miniatures to RPG play, hobby painting to fiction, and beyond. The Core Box includes eight high-quality miniatures, rule and lore books, maps and more: everything you need to bring heavy metal clashes to your gaming table!

The new Core Box uses the bestselling A Game of Armored Combat boxed set as the foundation to construct an immersive, fun experience. A highlight of the new Core Box is the Sagas lore booklet.

The eight high-quality, ready-to-play miniatures included in the box represent a cross-section of more than thirty years of beloved BattleTech lore. They include the Hollander and Rakshasa that first appeared in Technical Readout: 3055;  the Solitaire from Technical Readout: 3067; the Uziel and Mad Cat Mk II that premiered in the MechWarrior 4: Vengeance computer game; the Vulture Mk IV Prime that first hit game tables as part of MechWarrior: Dark Age; and the Regent and Eris from the new ilClan Era Recognition Guides.
