BattleTech miniatures decorated in Free Worlds League 18th Marik Militia livery of purple with blue highlights on the left and red highlights on the right, accented by dark brassy metal. 'Mechs represented are (from left to right) Flea, Iron Cheetah, Mortis, and Icarus II.

Just need to add some minor details and varnish and my #battletech 18th Marik Militia lance will be complete! Debating what color to use for the cockpit canopies but will probably settle on golden yellow or similar. Lots of WIPs but wanted to bang this out while I wait for some materials.

Alright, I'll have to try that for the next one. Thanks for the tip!

BattleTech 'Mech miniature JagerMech JM6-S painted in Free Rasalhague Republic 2nd Freemen livery, drab green on the legs and arms, while the torso depicts woodlands at dusk with green trees and blue background. Silver is used to emphasize metal parts, and red Norse runes throughout.

Mostly finished the #battletech JagerMech for my Rasalhague Second Freemen lance. Looking for some #miniaturepainting advice: how do you guys get yellow paint to lay better and be more opaque? Just more layers? Or should I give the area a base coat in a different color first?

Two BattleTech 'Mechs, an Axman and a JagerMech, base-coated in Free Rasalhague Republic 2nd Freemen livery of drab legs and arms with blue torso.

While I wait to varnish and add shadowed recesses to my Dragonlords, I thought I'd start base coating my next #battletech project. Say hello to half of my Free Rasalhague Republic 2nd Freemen lance. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the next two done and do some detail work.

BattleTech miniature models decorated in Federated Suns Second Dragonlords livery of red and brass. From left to right, the 'Mechs are Hellspawn, Enforcer, Gunsmith, and Legionnaire.

More detailing work and basing on my #battletech Second Dragonlords cavalry lance, reborn for the ilClan era. I'll be testing a new way to add definition to the recesses later this week, but for now, this is what we're looking at.

Mouse Kindred Knight, Henry Harrier Kindred Knight, Jackdaw Kindred Knight, Fox Kindred Knight, and Adder Mage sculpted in metal by Oathsworn Miniatures for the game Burrows & Badgers.

A bit of a departure from the industrial future where 'Mechs rule the battlefield, soon I'll travel back to 8th century Northymbra with the Burrows & Badgers minis from Oathsworn Games that I got today. Looking forward to a little bit of variety in my mini painting!

He hasn't played in a long time, and he told me he doesn't remember SRMs being so vicious. We used bases that we printed for my pewter minis to denote where we moved and it worked pretty well.

Played a game of #battletech last night with my dad. It was a pretty close duel (especially after my Wolverine ran out of SRM ammo and his Shadowhawk blew off my AC-5), but a well-placed critical hit to explode his ammo ended the long engagement.

From left to right, BattleTech 'Mechs Hellspawn, Enforcer, Gunsmith, and Legionnaire miniatures, with a base coating in 2nd Dragonlords livery of red with brass accents. The paints used to accomplish this, both from the Army Painter's Warpaints Fanatics line, frame the 'Mechs: Dragon Red to thr left and True Brass to the right.

Forgive the low-quality photo, but here's a WiP of some #battletech 'Mechs I'm painting for a modernized FedSuns 2nd Dragonlords lance. Probably gonna work on all of the detailing tonight and call it done if I have the time.

BIG NEWS: Today marks the 30 year anniversary for Mechwarrior 2 and for this occassion I'm excited to announce my Mechwarrior 2 Remake for Mechwarrior 5 Clans that you can go play right now, featuring the first Jade Falcon mission ‘Silent Thunder’! Please share and support my project ❤️‍🔥

I don't have any advice but I did want to say I love your Sea Foxes. Looking crisp

I'm a big fan of Clan Wolverine, personally. Though if we're only talking Clan Invasion era Clans, I'm gonna be cliché and go with the Ghost Bears. Kodiak, my beloved.

Also, I know the Apollo variant is a Davion Dawn Guard specific 'Mech but also I think it looks sick so I chose it over the Hades variant (my second choice)

Pewter Ares ARS-V1E "Apollo" by Iron Wind Metals, fully constructed, unpainted

Built a #battletech Ares (Apollo) for a custom post-Fortress Republic splinter faction I'm theorycrafting (they also get an OSP-26, MAD-8K, and maybe an AS7-D-H). Related, does anyone know of a way to make a marbling effect that doesn't involve an airbrush and a dried baby wipe?

Power went out in the storms yesterday so I finally sat down and finished a book for the first time in ages.

Read the second half of the #battletech Marauder anthology by Lance Scarinci, honestly had a good time reading it. I liked the horror aspect and it gave me some ideas for RPGs and painting.

Catapult, my beloved. I especially love refitting it with a comical amount of SRMs

Spent about 5 hours assembling the Iron Wind Metals #battletech Omega superheavy 'Mech this evening. Looking forward to painting it for my WoB lance sometime.

Whoever chose to put the signs - you know, the big attention-grabbing black signs with glowing orange letters - on the PA Turnpike saying "Don't drive distracted. Stay focused. Stay alive," is truly inspired. Possibly the most counterproductive signs I've ever seen.

Four BattleTech 'Mech miniatures painted in the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery Second Sword of Light livery of bright red, weathered in silver. The 'Mechs are Enforcer (left), Goliath (back-center), Hunchback (front-center), and Gladiator (right).

Finally had a nice day to take my #battletech DCMS Second Sword of Light outside to get some photos.

If you guys make official Kontio and Hermit Crab minis, my life is yours. It can be metal or plastic I do not care. I have a star and a lance begging for those guys (respectively)

Enforcer painted in the Draconis Combine's Sword of Light scheme of flat red. It is weathered, as if having seen combat.

Hunchback painted in the Draconis Combine's Sword of Light scheme of flat red. It is weathered, as if having seen combat.

To live is to serve the Dragon. From the Ghost Bears to Stone's Republic, the Second Sword of Light will crush any enemy Coordinator Kurita demands.

I was working on a Capellan Death Commandos lance but got in my head about how difficult it was to edge highlight the black so I'll return to those someday

An Enforcer 'Mech painted in Sword of Light parade and field color of flat red, with some silver metallic weathering

Starting my next #battletech project, the Second Sword of Light. Enforcers produced in the wake of the conquest of New Avalon make a fine addition to the lance.

Assembled my first metal miniature today - a #battletech Revenant UBM-1A from IWM for a Blakist lance I'm building

#Whatif the #ClanInvasion is finally in a state where I can give you guys a link to it for THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 7th!

We'll hopefully see everyone at 11 am Pacific, West Coast Time.

#Battletech #Mechwarrior

The Incubus, Vapor Eagle, and Wolverine IIC (Conjurer/Hellhound) all came in the last several weeks, a couple years after I painted the first two. I'm proud of how much it improved but I think I still have a long way to go.

Front side of Clan 'Mechs (from left to right) Huntsman, Turkina, Wolverine IIC (canonically known as Conjurer or Hellhound), Vapor Eagle, and Incubus. All 'Mechs ate in Clan Wolverine parade standard of blue, white, and yellow.

Back side of Clan 'Mechs (from left to right) Huntsman, Turkina, Wolverine IIC (canonically known as Conjurer or Hellhound), Vapor Eagle, and Incubus. All 'Mechs ate in Clan Wolverine parade standard of blue, white, and yellow.

Here are the full images of my #battletech Clan Wolverine star. The Huntsman was the first 'Mech I ever painted, and the Turkina came shortly after, before I had really chosen what I wanted to do with it (you can see the Rasalhague Dominion inspiration on the knees).

No shame, I also play story mode. No time to get good for me 🤣

I think Solahma mode would have been better 🤣
