I’m not a great painter. Not as good as I used to be.

But Battletech is for everyone. This is my small contribution to that ideal. A notice that I am an ally.

I may be straight, but I’m not narrow minded.

Welcome one and all. Live your best life. Be good to one another.

Let's go Purple Bird!

What I wouldn't give to play Alpha Strike on that board 😆

Thank you! The Locust is one of my favorites, so I want a swarm of them for the tabletop 😆

An assortment of Battletech miniatures painted in the colors of the Marik Militia (Purple, blue, and red). Most of the miniatures are half painted.

I'm heading to the New England Mech Con in September and it's motivated me to paint up my pile of gray miniatures! The progress has been slow, but the battalion must grow! Purple Bird Strong!

Just got done reading the #Battletech novel "D.R.T" and I had a lot of fun with it! Can't wait to read the next book starring the Black Thorns Mercenary Company!

*Cuts to desolate irradiated wasteland*

Decals on. Go purple bird!

Your cat must've heard about Battletech Gothic and wanted to play as a Kaiju 🐱

A lance of Marik Militia battlemechs. Includes a Wraith, Orion, Awesome, and a Locust.

One lance down, a whole regiment left to go! (I wish 😆). I've been working out a campaign based on Operation DAGGER from the 4th Succession War where the Free Worlds League invaded the Lyran Commonwealth. Next stop, Wyatt 🪖

Ayyy I see what you did there XD

A Locust and an Awesome Battletech miniature. Both are painted in the colors of the Marik Militia (Purple, Red, and Blue).

Just finished painting my AWS-9Q! I'm really happy with how it turned out! It may be my new personal favorite 🙏 Now to finish the rest!

Thanks! I went with a purple Army Painter Primer to get a nice base coat 🙏

Five Battlemech models primed in Alien Purple. From right to left: Warhammer, Wraith, Awesome, Orion, and Locust. The Awesome and Locust are Iron Wind Metal miniatures while the rest are CGL plastic.

An IWM Awesome miniature primed Alien Purple. The paint scheme features blue and red highlights in the style of the Marik Militia. This specific model is the AWS-9Q variant.

Just started painting up a force of Marik Militia Mechs! The Free Worlds League is probably my favorite Inner Sphere faction. Purple Bird Stronk! #Battletech #Painting #Miniatures

If not friend, why friend shaped?

It's been a while, but I just finished painting up an IWM Ninja-To in Kuritan colors! 🐉 #Battletech

Just got my friend into playing MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries! He's really taken a liking to the Catapult and raining missiles down upon our foes. We'll probably move on to playing Clans soon 🪖

On the Left is a Military Green colored Nova Battlemech beside a dark red Charger Battlemech

A single plastic Nova miniature painted military green facing front.

A single metal Charger miniature facing front.

It's been a minute since I last posted! I went on vacation recently and visited Iron Wind Metals for the first time! This Charger is my first ever Metal #Battletech mini! I also painted up a Nova that had been sitting in my pile of shame. Can't wait to paint more soon 🤖

Finally made it out to Iron Wind Metals for the first time today! I was a little overwhelmed by how many shelves of #Battletech miniatures there were 🤯 I can't wait to paint these bad boys up!

About to begin painting my Jade Falcon remnant force for a Hinterlands campaign! I went with the Summoner T and Locust IIC 9 for my starting Mechs. Can't wait to see my Locust's XXL engine explode like the 4th of July 😆 #Battletech

Just got obliterated by waves of LRM indirect fire in a game of Alpha Strike 😅 On a more positive note, I'm going to be joining a Hinterlands campaign at my FLGS!

A Warhawk miniature painted dark red with metallic green details on the cockpit.

Painting up a Warhawk to fill in my Omnimech forces! I wasn't originally a fan of Clan Mechs when I started learning about #Battletech, but they've certainly grown on me!

Front view of the Phoenix Hawk IIC. Blue with red and silver details.

Rear view of the mech. I'm really happy with the wings!

Side view

My original paint job from Adepticon. It was my first time drybrushing color over a black base coat. This was a good opportunity to learn how to strip a mini!

Just finished painting my Phoenix Hawk IIC! I got this model at Adepticon during one of the organized painting classes. My first attempt was rough, but I learned from my mistakes! #Batttletech #Miniatures

Finally finished reading the Grey Death Legion trilogy! Now I'm diving straight into the Warrior trilogy! Hopefully whoever this series follows has better luck than Grayson Carlyle 😆

#Battletech

I'll have to give it a read myself!

Wow! Fun for the whole Sibko!

Does he Battle alongside Long Tom the Artillery Engine?

Oh! No, this is my first time hearing about this game! But you've peaked my interest with large Fae battles 🧝‍♂️🪖 (I would probably make a large goblin force)

Thank you so much! 🙏
