So Close I Can Taste It!

Working on these guys for a while but the Demon Mutts command company is getting close to done. Been a bit of a break between painting but we are back. Next stream I’ll be done. I’m sure of it 😅

I’m happy with the whole company but I think the Archer, Dragon, and the Highlander are my favourite.

Terrain next and once that’s done, battle report!

5 Hours Later….

And I really don’t feel I made progress 😅

Been a week or so since I last visited these fine machines. Managed to get some blues down and tidy up the black. Got started on the yellow before I ended stream. I think doing them as lances makes painting them easier. Live and learn.

Build-a-Bear Exploded

I asked for the community for some advice on some ideas for Ghost Bear mechs and, well. Things have gotten out of hand, I think.

Something not right?!

Soooo. Bought the First Star League Command Lance a couple weeks back, and something didn’t seem right. I just now realised that my Phoenix Hawk “Special” is extra special.

I guess somebody mixed up arms when they were assembling the minis.

Build-a-Bear

Hi friends. Looking to expand my painted clan units and thought I might do a Trinary of Ghost Bear. I’ve picked these ten so far but wouldn’t mind an opinion on what to get next or whether these are good choices.

Have checked Sarna and Master unit list, just want some opinions. Thanks.

Edit: damn autocorrect

Progress

Sunday night stream and i managed to get the next two lances for my HQ started.

Trying a different approach to the first Lance.

HQ Company, 1st Lance

Another lot done! Well, except for the bases 😁

First Lance of the good old Demon Mutts, mercenaries extraordinaire!

Not 100% happy, got a little carried away but I think I have an idea how I’m moving forward with the rest of the outfit. Two more lances waiting on a base coat. Sunday painting stream sorted.

Even managed to finish off the Jade Falcon elementals, Peregrine Galaxy. Now those dirty birdies have infantry support.

Nearing the finish line.

Couldn’t quite finish my personal merc Lance but getting close.

Also managed to nearly finish some clan elementals, Peregrine Galaxy, infantry support for the Falcons I recently finished.

Finally, Back to Progress

Managed to jump online and do some painting. Working on the Demon Mutts, my personal merc outfit.

Some may notice the four mechs are actually the starting stompybots for HBS Battletech. I decided that since my mech company was founded during that game I’m now running my outfit’s story in parallel with it.

So we starrt off with the og four (plus the locust, but that’s for when things get big) and then fleshing out the company with mechs secured during the game’s campaign. So the Highlander 732b is on its way, especially as that becomes my command mech in story 😄

Colour scheme is yellow and blue on black (or bare metal) with red accents. This scheme will branch out as the company grows but I’ll get there when the time is right.

Slacking off on Painting

But I found a couple nice proxy mechs to add to my growing Wolf’s Dragoons contingent. Looking forward to painting them at some point 🤣

u/ThumperKnox — 2 months ago

I did it again 😅

My excuse was simple. More mechs. More for a Wolf’s Dragoons build and more for my personal merc outfit.

Done. Pretty much. They’re done!

Nearly done with the stream but I think I can call all three Jade Falcon units done. Left to right; Kappa, Epsilon, and Gamma galaxies.

The Aces box was the inspiration, and I just had all these clan mechs laying around 😄

A Star of Jade Falcon Epsilon Galaxy done.

Got the Aces box and was inspired to sort through my clan mech stockpile.

Made up three stars, one from Epsilon, Kappa, and Gamma. Managed to get the Epsilon Star done and did my best to keep it close to the cover art on the Aces box.
