2^nd Oriente Hussars "The Crazy Second"

5th Free World Legionnaries "The Monkyes"
Though I never understood why they are nicknamed the monkey when the 5th was created after a raid on Lopez the Home of Branth "Dragons"
I would assume that "The Branth's" would be a better nickname with an image of a Branth.

For me, I like the Stewart Dragoons, especially the 2nd Regiment, Juggernaut.

Right there with you, Adam. I was a 13th Marik Militia fan as well.

I'm a Lucky 13th fan too, and nevermind the WoB stuff, luckily that's in another timeline to MW:O.

I'm always surprised that no Connaught Rangers in the BTU.

[Kifferson von doober]

Always had a soft spot for the 18th Marik Militia myself, I'd love to fight for The Rose of Connaught.

Hey, hopefully I am able to joing this house and its been awhile since I played a Mech game so i dont know what regiment would be the best for a semi-newbie player. Any suggestions?

[ShoveI]

Honestly Honima we're not sure how House units are going to be done yet. They have said something to the effect that you can't join some units til you achieve a certain rank, which ones those will be is still undetermined. Once open beta hits we'll be able to see how they have things set up though and I'm sure unit formation will be swift at that point

I always liked the Atrean Hussars... maybe its just because they always seemed to get the short end of the stick for no real reason.

I like the 5th Fusiliers of Oriente. It has a neat history behind it: They were an SLDF regiment before Kerensky left on the Exodus, and were the among the 20% that stayed in the Inner Sphere, eventually landing in the Duke's service. It's implied that they have a video of Kerensky's Orion busting down the Presidential Palace's gate on Terra.

Hey, I'm a lore nut. This stuff is cool.

Same here.

Since the days I started playing BT in the 80s, I have always had a softspot for the then underdogs House Marik. I favorite Regiment is the Ducal Guard of the Fusiliers of Oriente. I was their chapter CO during the original Mechforce Germany, and had interesting chapter fights, mainly with House Steiner units.
