The Gray Death Legion. Soldiers, mercs and memes



The gray death legion is one of the youngest merc units in the setting, only a few decades old and yet they’re responsible for one of the most important events in the settings history. The discovery of the helm memory core and the renaissance of the inner sphere. A series of events that would come to define the setting for hundreds of years to come.

  1. Grey Death was my first battletech novels. And thus my favorite mech unit. Sure, Wolf's Dragoons and Kell hounds get a lot of spotlight, and the Northwind have all the bagpipes. But the Grey Death was great for explaining and understanding military tactics and combined arms integration!

  2. If i recall in the first book, Death is not proununced like the English word Death, but something like Deeth or De-ah-th. Its been a few years since i read the book, but it was explained to not be as blantantly silly as presented.

  3. WW2 Germany and Russia signed s "Non Aggression Treaty". With each side planning to attack the other as soon as they had enough forces. With Russia being mad Germany beat them to the betrayal.

  4. I swear that one of the most notable parts of the grey death legion's tactics was the use of combine arms, and anti mech infantry units supported by mechs. I'm not quite sure that came across in the video. They also love them selves some battle armour.

  5. With respect to their accolades, when I see their logo, All I see is a clown skull; that back drop looks like a mop of red hair. Looks like crap. I guess that's within keeping with most other MW art from that time though lol 😂

  6. It'd be kind of cool to see a timeline vid just to put everything into perspective and for everyone to able to see how deep the history is visually. Just touching major births, events, and inventions.

  7. I love the Grey Death Legion. It was the book that got me into reading. I've always been a sci-fi addict. I think I was 12-13 when I read the first book. It was gritty compared to star wars/star trek.

  8. Everyone gets famous for driving Marauders because it was one of the SLDF's standard battle line heavy mechs, so like the Archer and the Warhammer they're everywhere. Every planets, every faction, every time period post Star League there's probbaly a Marauder and available spares for Marauders.
