In addition to Battletech/Mechwarrior, I really adore the Homeworld games. In fact, so much that I’ve made PC big boxes for Deserts of Kharak and Homeworld 3 to finish my collection.

The Mech was airbrushed, house insignia was painted freehand.

Thought you might like to see a few photos of the lovely painting Edd209 did here. This model will be publicly on show at Spiel Essen games expo in Germany this weekend as part of the Catalyst Game Labs stand - be sure to check it out!

I recently had the pleasure to see this impressive display piece painted by my friend Edd209 - a super-sized BattleTech Gothic Rifleman in House Steiner colours. This is an official upscaled 3D print of the model from the new BattleTech: Gothic boxed set and stands over a foot (30cm) tall.

It was indeed.... of course I might of had a few "extra attempts" to get the rare Shuriken Catapult πŸ˜‡

Fun fact: the hands are from an Eldar Dire Avenger (which metal model may of been sacrificed to the Wolf-time).

Let’s see those blasts from the past.

As usual I’ll reskeet the lot and if you like something, share it!

Classic miniatures, huh? Here's a Martian Metals Ogre Mk. V, sculpted by Forest Brown in 1979.

Preparing for Tukayyid.

Done - Completed ComGuard Level-III (Battalion) with 36 BattleMechs and additional BSP elements to round out the force. Will add a few decals in due course, but that’s the ComGuard finished.

Slocombe's Warbots

2/ These models were scaled to the original BattleDroids plastic Mech figures and larger than the 1/285 scale FASA settled on for BattleTech, this range being produced by Ral Partha.

The are (Mech names 2nd):

Deathblow - Archer

Sprinter - Catapult

1/ In the mid-eighties, Games Workshop was going to enter into a licensing deal with USA-based company FASA to produce a range of miniatures for their BattleDroids game (later BattleTech).

It never came to pass, but 3 tester models were done and later sold by GW as 'Slocombe's Warbots'.

The best way to avoid speaking with staff in a GW store* is to say to them "I know the Ten Commandments".

*Not saying someone would want to, but you know, in theory.

Welcome to the club of accurate optics! πŸ€“

It's a great special power for modelling, not only is everything in crystal clear focus, it's also slightly magnified. That's a win-win in my book.

3) Changed it's stance and agreed with me. Essentially, the AI had never seen and / or understood the meaning of what's in Inferno on this subject matter.

Now, I was acting in good faith here and being truthful, but it was crystal clear how an AI could be manipulated by feeding it inaccurate info.

2) Points of a certain small part of the community that didn't like the idea supported by one bit of info from a 40K source book.

I then challenged it on this based on the source material in Horus Heresy Book Seven: Inferno (i.e. the then only foundational Custodes background) and it immediately -
