I like BattleTech and other games! I enjoy painting the most, and also love my dogs! I'm #autistic and have many special interests! It's nice to meet you!

I have been very sick for the past few months, and that has slowed me down on painting. But I am pleased to say that with the warm weather I've felt better and got back to painting! Here I have the 1st and 2nd Taurian Pride rocking their distinct looks!

Oh I get that from a front on perspective, but the side profile view of the Timberwolf with the missile pods and such is distinctive. But yes, front forward like what the atlas does... I struggle to think of a more iconic mech for that. Maybe the Banshee? The Mackie would be kind of murderbot-ish!

I like the Atlas, but I could understand someone saying the Timberwolf because of TRO 3050 and the video games.

Side Note: At this point, I have Calderon, Centralla, Liao, and Marik forces all painted nicely. I can field a full lance of everyone except Marik right now, and also mercenaries and generic painted units!

Two Catalyst Game Labs BattleMechs stand in the foreground, with the paints used on them behind them (L to R) - a generic purple, then Army Painter brands Purple Tone, Voidshield Blue, Alien Purple, and Greedy Gold. A Stalker and Longbow stand fully painted, with the Stalker on the left, and the Longbow on the right.

This picture focuses more closely ton the Stalker, highlighting a pink stripe, as well as the small dabs of paint used on the missile tubes of the Longbow and the laser ports for the Stalker.

More painting! House Marik joins the ranks of my various forces! My wife requested this one, wanting to see a purple/gold combo - and I am honestly very happy with it. #armypainter #battletech #battlemech #catalylstgamelabs #camospecs #mini #painting

Oh and I'm a sucker for a Crusader and Trebuchet. Especially MML variants of those two! I am absolutely obsessed with MMLs!

Four BattleTech 6mm vehicles. From left to right: Ontos Heavy Tank; Warrior H7 Attack helicopter (rear); Behemoth Tank (front); Skulker Wheeled Scout Car. Paints were Army Painter, arranged in back with (L to R) Desert Yellow, Leather Brown, Command Khaki (obscured), Strong Tone, and Obsidian Skin.

A close up of the rear of the Skulker Wheeled Assault tank, highlighting the Obsidian Skin wheels - an effect that makes it look like the wheels are black, but weathered under a desert sun or covered in sand and dust.

A close up of the Warrior H7 Attack Helicopter on a primed base with a clear bar to lift it up above the rest of the vehicles. You can see the light blue canopy for the pilot.

Finished up my desert camo vehicle lance for #classicbattletech! Very happy with how it came out, I am LOVING this scheme and will probably use it for a BattleMech lance. #battletech #catalystgamelabs #painting #armypainter

This is great! I didn't realize there was a variant of the GD with an axe.

Oh I can't wait! I am currently painting two lances of vehicles and this is very exciting! Thank you Catalyst! You guys rock!

In the lower front center, a Catalyst Game Labs Behmoth Heavy Tank for the BattleTech Game of Armored Combat miniature war game. This is a 6mm ranged game, meaning the miniature is roughly one inch long and about 3/4" high. It is painted in a desert camo pattern with khaki, browns and yellow. Paints are from Army Painter Warpaint Fanatics series. From left to right: Obsidian Skin (which was used for missile ports, barrels and vents); Command Khaki (used for base and dry brush); Desert Yellow (the thin stripe on the tank); and Leather Brown (for the wider stripe on the tank).

Hello Bluesky BattleTech fans! This is my first post here! It's a Behemoth Heavy Tank in desert camo thanks to Army Painter. I really like brown schemes for some reason - one of the reasons I paint so many TDF units! #BattleTech #wargaming #catalystgamelabs #miniatures

The Catapult is a beast, even if you're just using introtech - so yeah, great work on that victory! I also treat them with the respect they deserve - though I did manage to team up on one with a Wasp/Wolverine combo. That was fun!

I love being a baddie. I'm going to go read books and then get a check up by a qualified doctor! The depth of my depravity and evilness knows no bounds as I revel in the evilness of Samantha City!

I really like this! You're very talented! I like the House Arano colors - actually HBS did a really great job for all of the Houses!
