The same Space Marine from behind, the leather pouch and holster are particularly nice, I think.

It's been a while since I've posted to this account. I'm preparing for a move π.
Here is a commission I just finished, an Astral Knights Lieutenant and a Hive Fleet JΓΆrmungandr Tyranid. The prompt was "metallic" and I really loved it.

This place craves posting like Reddit doesn't, I cant even tell what Insta wants tbh, ect. ect.
Thank you! Nice cat meme.

There is a freehand Northwind Highlanders emblem on its left wing, and a blue, black, and green tartan on its right fin.
The same Leopard dropship, shown now from the right side, its right wing is a bright yellow, blue, green, and black on red tartan belonging to house Stuart, and on the left fin is the number 4 in bold letters.
The same Leopard dropship from the front, this angle does not add much that you can't see from the previous two.
The same Leopard dropship from before, but now accompanied by a lance of the Northwind Highlanders, behind the ship is a looming Atlas, in front of it and to the side are a Locust and Phoenix Hawk, and standing on the back of the dropship is a Highlander proper.
I finished this Leopard for my Northwind Highlanders company about a month ago, but it took until now to get the pictures to come out right. D:
Now I have to figure out how to get the whole company in one picture!

Is that some variant of Raven I see? Very pointy, I love it!

It appears as if made from concrete and burned out after a bombing raid, weathered posters from the video game Signalis decorate the concrete along with graffiti. The overall vibe of the piece is reminiscent of the London Blitz.
The front of a ruined building, it is built in an "L" shape with only two visible walls. This shows the building from the side, with two Clone Troopers from Star Wars Legion on the ruin for a sense of scale.
The rear of a ruined building, it is built in an "L" shape with only two visible walls. This shows the building from the back, it has one wall that is yellow and piles of rubble scattered throughout. It is weathered heavily, more posters are scattered around and the cartoon guy normally accompanied by "Kilroy was here" is drawn on a broken wall.
The rear of a ruined building, it is built in an "L" shape with only two visible walls. This picture also shows the rear, now those same two Clone Troopers are visible showing a sense of scale, a trooper with green accents is on the second floor platform shooting over the wall, and a trooper with a rocket launcher is aiming out the window.
Dipping my toes into sci-fi terrain! I found a .png of the posters from Signalis on the 'net and wanted to do something with a civil-war feeling with them.
Really pleased with the results, learned lots of little bits that I will bring to my next terrain project.

Making sci-fi terrain again. Which actually means spending hours thinking about Signalis and saying βfleshβ to my wife until it loses all meaning.

The archangel Michael from the board game Massive Darkness 2. He is lit from below by a red light and has a red halo that evokes the games black and red aesthetic. Above his head is a swan carrying a banner with his name and titles on it in Hebrew. If you can read Hebrew, itβs probably misspelled.
A Sawtooth from the Horizon Zero Dawn board game. It is flanked by four Watchers, they are all painted in the white, black, and yellow colors from the video game. Their bases are stark black with colored rings giving them more of a board game piece feel.
Today Iβm starting the board game thread! I donβt have as many pics of these yet but Iβve gotten some fun stuff done, the client for that longship mech letting me go for it with the water and iceberg effect felt like a kid in a candy shop!

A Phoenix hawk with the designation PHX-1 painted on the base to the left and right of the front hex face.
I write the variant names on the bases when Iβm painting them, or more realistically whenever I get around to it 3 months later. π it works pretty well!

A T-47 airspeeder from Star Wars Legion. It is the same type Luke drives in A New Hope. It is dented and the paint scraped, in dark gray with blue stripes. Four rebels are in the vehicle with blasters and a rocket launcher.
Sabine Wren from Star Wars Legion. She is wearing her colorful armor from the Clone Wars cartoon. She is wearing her helmet and holding the darksaber. At her feet is a stormtrooper helmet in a pool of blood.
Three members of the Clan Wrens expansion from Star Wars Legion. They are in gray armor with yellow accents. The central figure is jumping, held aloft by flames and smoke spewing from a jet pack, the right figure is holding a sword and wearing a red dueling cape.
A sample of my Star Wars Legion minis from the past several years. Mostly Rebel Alliance but with a smattering of the other factions. Loved sculpting the smoke from Clan Wrens jet packs. The prototype for that Shilone from the Battletech thread!

A Locust battlemech in Fox Patrol colors. It is primarily red with a light-gray fade on the feet like a foxβs boots. It has a number 2 on its left torso in a blocky military style. The base is badlands-esque.
Three BattleMechs in the colors of the Northwind Highlanders. From left to right, they are a Highlander crushing a yellow mech that it is standing on, an Atlas, and a Warhammer. They are mostly green with the Stewart tartan on their right torsos. The bases are dominated by grey stone or dirt and red grass. They are painted and based to match the box art for the Alpha Strike box set which is not shown in the picture.
A Black Knight battlemech which has been modified to look like a Gundam. The head blade thingys have been added on as has a custom beam-saber painted in green. The main colors are white, blue, and yellow in that order.
A Catapult battlemech in green with chaotic red and black stripes. The cockpit is gold like a fighter jet and the overall effect is asymmetric but clean.
The last set that I have photographed and fit for posting right now, some one-offs! The Northwind Highlanders are part of a full company and the rest of the Fox Patrol is there as well, not being as photogenic. Smaller representative pictures are easier to clean the dog hair out of. π

The cockpit is bright purple and the engine glows blue, the plane is bombing a tank which is exploding, sending its turret into the air. The smoke and fire from the explosion are hiding the flight wire which holds the plane aloft.
The same Shilone from the previous picture, this time shown from behind with the white/blue engine glow much more visible and the designs on the wings clear.
Two Skulker scout tanks from Battletech. They are in a blocky red black and white color scheme. They both have urban highway style bases and the right tank is passing a βroad narrowsβ sign which has several apparent bullet-holes. They are shown from the back.
The two Skulker scout tanks from the previous image. They are shown from the front and the street sign is now visible from behind on the right tanks base.
Wrapping up the Wildcats here with the vehicle representation. I loved getting to do this Shilone, itβs one of my favorite effects Iβve gotten to try in this hobby and I canβt wait to get another excuse to use it.

A Phoenix Hawk battlemech painted in red, black, and white with a blocky style. The cockpit is purple and a small cartoon cat face is painted on the left torso. The base is in a savanna style.
An Awesome battlemech. Is is painted red, with a white right arm and left leg, these limbs both have a black stripe running down the middle of them and a third stripe runs down the top of the cockpit. The base is in a savanna style, and the three blue PPCs draw the eye across the piece.
Two H-7 Warrior VTOLs from Battletech. The left one is painted mostly black, with a white belly and red accents on the wingtips and rotor blades. Its base is a city scene dominated by a hedgehog tank-trap and a burning tractor. The right one is mostly red with a white belly and black rotor blades. Its base is a savanna scene dominated by a rusted billboard that reads βThe FUTURE is NOW. Comstarβ next to a Comstar logo.
A few more from my mercenary company the Wildcats. Iβve done close to two companies of them, and that Jenner is even my profile picture. I canβt help it I love these little guys.

Going to start adding some of my past projects to this account, Iβll be making one thread for each game or theme to keep them somewhat organized. Letβs start with a setting near and dear to my heart, and brush #Battletech.

Battletech Shilone flying past an exploding tank. The flight stand for the fighter is hidden in the smoke from the tank, and he effect is made with spray-painted cotton balls. The figure is black and white with red accents and a purple canopy.
The archangel Michael from the board game Massive Darkness 2. He has large white wings and a red halo that looks like a stylized black hole. A banner is carried above his head by a white swan which has Michaelβs name and titles misspelled in Hebrew. The figure appears to be lit by a red glow from below.
Three Mandalorian miniatures from Star Wars Legion. They are from the βClan Wrenβ expansion and are painted in a yellow and black on gray scheme. The figure in the middle is mid-jump, being held up by a wire concealed in a smoke column made out of cotton balls that comes from her jet pack. Their bases are a simple desert sand texture.
