I'm looking to pick the 2ndEd of the BT 25th Anniversary Intro box set (never have played BT before). I have a number of CAV units I'd like to throw in the mix. Does anyone know of any CAV to BT conversion table/guide/stats out there.?

none I have ever seen a conversion table/guide/stats. but its easy to build a new mech from any of the CAV minis, Ive played many BK games were CAV minis were used.

Well, I'll throw out that using the construction rules or an app like Solaris Skunk Werks ( solarisskunkwerks.com ) to build 'Mech designs that fit with the look ( and perhaps original weapon load out ) of your CAV units.

Cheers,

Solaris Skunkworks is awesome, but it's a real toner-killer.

Consider just proxying them as exisiting BT units. There are so many BT units (Hundreds of mechs alone) that, it should not be a problem to find a unit that is generally similar in size and armament.

Also, the company's official stance is that proxying is ok, and use of the official miniature is optional.

If you want to pick up even more mechs to add to the box set, consider EM4's plastic Mechs. Nice little figs at a ridiculously low price.

I have them. They're included in the Combat Zone game box.
