Armies of the Fifth Frontier War, Impressions Not Errata

that and it's so clunky build makes me think it's really really low-tech, like TL-10 or 11 definitely not the refined TL-15 Battledress

Agreed. Looks like the Primitive Power Armor from JTAS 14. It doesn't look very mobile either.

When I read Battledress, I see the image Grognardia posted.

With the proviso that I cannot read the signature else I would happily credit the artists, THIS is TL 15 Battle Dress.
[Which is another example of how Traveller needs a style and usage book for authors and artists]

Maybe something like the Hulkbuster armor was what they were aiming for.

I'm actually really into the design - but not as Battle Dress. Honestly, I think they look more like Imperial warbots.

NOW THAT looks like TL-15! (I can't read the signature either)

I have the same issues with Battle Dress, but this has been adressed above. My main issue is the look of the vehicles. The imperial vehicles look good, very imperial. But the Zhodani vehicles seem...odd. The combat-oriented ones especially. A wedge with a gun strapped on it. When I saw the Z-80, I was taken aback a bit, I must say. It is a far cry from the original. A while your artworkt is usually top notch, I cannot say this for the Zho vehicles.
Other than that, the book is a treasure trove, everything I have hoped for.
