While I don’t have any cool mechs to show off, here are some of the smaller things I’ve been working on for #BattleTech. Some turrets I modelled and got printed are now painted up with a basic green speedpaint. Also, my Assault and Cavalry lances are now basecoated and washed, ready for SLDF green.

Love me some generic faceless operator goons.
What are they upto?
Dunno, could be anything. For anyone! Anywhere!!
The third member of my Star League Defense Force lance for #BattleTech, the Blackjack. This is by a healthy margin the best miniature I’ve painted to date. Checkers are new to me, but with the aid of a pencil are quite doable.

The second member of my 3rd Star League Defense Force lance for #BattleTech, the Grasshopper. The zombiest of mech. I’m quite proud of the hazard stripes and black accents. Green and black is such a nice combo to paint.

Within the hinterlands, a band of engineers, amateur mech-jockeys, sustainable vegan farmers, stoners, and avant-gardists take up abandoned Jade Falcon facilities and form an anarchocommune using a loose parody of the Clans as a framework.

Thank you! The scheme is as follows:
Base with AP Leather Brown. Drybrush AP Army Green, then AP Olive Drab. Goal is to keep brown in the dark/recessed areas. Then I washed with Dark Tone, before then hitting it with a second drybrush of the same paints, however a bit lighter. Then add details!
The first member of my in-progress 3rd Star League Defence Force lance for #BattleTech. This is the Lyran Commonwealths homegrown Panther-hunter, the Wolfhound, with another use of Versus’ PPC technique. Love how the mech and the ppc came out.

Thank you! We’re cooking, one learned (appropriated) technique at a time.

Tinkering with starting a YouTube series centered around #BattleTech painting on a budget. Every month a purchase is made, and something is painted using only what we've bought so far. Every purchase is logged, with the intent of the series being to show you can do incredible things starting from 0.

As Red Team was literally the first miniatures I ever painted I have promised myself I would keep them the way they are. They will serve as a monument to my progress as the years go by. While stripping them is a fun idea, I think I’d rather buy new miniatures of the same model and paint those :3

The Northwind Highlanders Grey Watch for #BattleTech. No tartan, I will come back to do that when I improve as a painter. Big thank you to @versusrev.bsky.social for the guide to amazing PPC’s.
Mechs: Clint, Highlander, Archer, Warhammer

Blue Team - Second half of my aGoAC box + Beginners Box mechs for #BattleTech. These turned out better than the Red Team, which were the first miniatures I ever painted.
