so yesterday when going trough whole list of Omnimechs on sarna I found all these celestial series World of Blake mechs that were all extremly sexy for me both by design and weapons,the Archangel mech is sweetest thing I fell in love

I played MW2,3.4 vengeance and first mechcommander.... to my knowledge non of these games were in the 3069 era where these mechs are from,so I never saw any of these in game,I have never reed any novel or never played the tabletop ( fail I know,but I am just 20 and these things arent in my country ) so I dont have info about that whatsoever...


where can I get more info about it,tell about it,thanks

The sourcebook for those 'Mechs is "Technical Readout: 3075", so you should give that a read. So far, none of the games have covered the Jihad era, though the ending of MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries leads right up to it with the bloody hand print on the screen which is the symbol for the Master's Hand or Manei Domini.

What the frak does that mean?

They are sweet looking and can be a real **tch to take down. Playing the TT I had a trinary of Ghost Bears up against an equal number of Blakest. The Bears won but came away with a severe limp.

The Celestials are OmniMechs specifically designed for the Word of Blake's Manei Domini. Besides looking awesome, their primary distinguishing features are a small cockpit, which makes them harder to pilot but doesn't bother VDNI-equipped pilots too much, and a C3i system. Some of the variants are a bit odd, but they usually work quite well, especially when the C3i can be made use of. Most of the information on them is in Jihad Hot Spots: 3072 and Technical Readout: 3075.

There are also the similar Demon series Battle Armor and Spectral series OmniFighter and (extremely short-lived) LAM designs.

Tabletop.

you forget retractable blade,all of them have it.... now meele isnt usual in mechwarrior,it wasnt in any game as I remember but I would love it with these mechs,it would be super cool and it doing that very high dmg blow by risking going so close would be nice game mechanic

Technicaly, only the Invictus variants have the blade. However, the celestial series re my top 6 mechs and are pretty amazing on tabletop.
P.S. I AM A BLAKIST! EMBRACE THE WORD!
