Battletech

Battletech is one of the most enduring science fiction universes in gaming, with a sprawling future history of interstellar warfare, noble houses, mercenary companies, and the towering BattleMechs that define its battles. First published by FASA in 1984, Battletech has sustained an active player base for four decades through multiple publishers, a celebrated video game series, and a lore depth that rivals any tabletop setting in existence.

Catalyst Game Labs' modern stewardship has brought Battletech to its largest audience yet, with the Beginner Box and A Game of Armored Combat introducing thousands of new players while the Classic BattleTech line continues to expand. Noble Knight carries the full current Catalyst catalog alongside older FASA and FanPro materials, including sourcebooks, technical readouts, scenario packs, and the original metal miniatures that collectors have sought for years. For new players discovering the universe and veteran MechWarriors completing their libraries, our Battletech inventory covers every era of the game's long history.

Both current Catalyst releases and out-of-print FASA/FanPro materials are available. Many vintage FASA products (especially 1980s-1990s box sets and unseen miniatures) are highly collectible.
Battletech miniatures are primarily produced in two scales: Classic Scale (roughly 1/285 or 6mm, about 1 inch tall for a BattleMech), used since 1984, and newer, larger scales introduced in recent years. Catalyst Game Labs current releases include both traditional scale and larger scale options. Noble Knight stocks miniatures in all scales, including: original FASA metal miniatures (classic scale), Ral Partha Battletech metals, Iron Wind Metals current production (classic scale, they inherited FASA molds), WizKids pre-painted plastic Mechwarrior Dark Age collectibles (larger scale), Catalyst plastic miniature packs (classic scale), and larger scale plastic kits from recent box sets. All scales are playable; the choice depends on personal preference. Classic scale remains the standard for most players. Product listings indicate scale and manufacturer.
