This Stormcrow was way more frustrating to paint than the Ebon Jaguar or Locust IIC. I think it turned out ok.

Valkyrie Online! I am officially out of models, 7 more need priming (one also needs assembly). Going to run this one as the "C" or "QS5" variant I'm the Hinterlands campaign, leaning towards the "C."

Penetrator battlemech mini painted Akhellion green on the upper half, Basilicanum Gray on the lower half.

The Penetrator might have the worst name amongst battlemechs, but with well layed out armor, jump jets and a fusilade of energy weapons it makes sense for my Alpine Legions.

Starslayer painted in Akhellion green on the upper torsos and Basilicanum Gray on the lower half. Hashamut Copper cockpit.

Starslayer down for the Alpine Legion. TBH whilst I could just paint up whatever for Mercs, the self constraint of "must have jumpjets" (or access to Jump Jets for Omnimechs) means I am painting up and using mechs I would never have tried otherwise. 10/10 fun choice.
