Ok, so not technically Battletech, but it is giant stompy robots in 1/56 scale.
This is a convention game that we ran a couple weeks ago at the Little Wars Convention in the Chicago Suburbs. We used the Mech Attack rules (streamlined battletech-lite-ish) and the vehicles are a mix of Robotech/macross kits and toys, russian Robogear mechs, Kryomek striders, AT43, and a few others. Without infantry (we removed them from this year's game) scale is a bit hard to judge, but these are mostly 5-9 inches tall. As a comparsion, the small round bases are frozen juice concentrate lids and the big bases are CD's
And of course to entice you to read the full writeup ( link ) here are just a few examples of the tasty mecha-porn you'll find there.
Enjoy!

Played in a game with the Armorcast guys several years ago. LOTS of Big Stomp mechs! |

I didn't know they made 1/56 Robotech models. |

28mm Fanatik,
Technically they don't. The Valkyries (Battletech Stingers) which are a bit bigger than they would be in 28mm battletech are 1/72 model kits. The Destroids (Warhammer, Longbow and Rifleman in BT lingo) are Robotech (re-relased as exo-squad) toys from the late 90's. They're a bit smaller than they would be in 28mm Battletech, but they look great on the table. We stat them up based on actual size and armament, so it's not really BT accurate. |

Looks cool. I have most of them mechs myself. Cool looking game. |

Okay, I just love that use of the milkcrates as buildings! |
