Thanatos, Spector, and Firestarter Battlemechs, and a Skulker scout tank painted up in a Hastati Sentinels livery. Back to painting more Com Guards after this! #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Continuing to make progress with my Com Guards by finishing up a Black Knight and an Archer. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of a painted Mad Cat to convince people to follow you. #miniatures #battletech Why stop at *one* when you can have *two*?
Finished up an Assassin and a Highlander for ComStar. Only negative is that I tried to paint the canopies green. Came out *way* too dark. But the ComStar force continues to grow for that eventual AlphaStrike Tukayyid demo day I want to do at my LGS with my buddy. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
7k Classic #Battletech at my LGS. Fielding a lance and a half of my Legion of Vega to try something different from my usual by being fast and annoying to my opponent instead of bringing heavy mechs.
I stripped the Zeus's Arcturan Guards paint job and painted it up for the RAF and it really shows just how far my abilities have come since I began painting minis.
Heat and smoke today made working on things more difficult, but I did get this totally not Airwolf inspired Warrior VTOL done for my Hastati Sentinels force.
More Com Guards. This time with an Ostroc, a Manticore heavy tank, and a Warrior VTOL And I just pitched the idea to a buddy of mine to possibly do an AlphaStrike demo at my LGS and do something set on Tukayyid with the Com Guards vs. my buddy's Diamond Shark force. 🤔🤞 #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Com Guards force is coming along nicely. Exterminator and Ostsol mechs. Only thing is the variant the mini represents for the Ostsol is incorrect for ComStar. Honestly, that doesn't bother me at all as I just make sure to have the right variant's info up when I use it. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
"Someone from the phone company is here...he says some guy named Blake wants a word with us?" King Crab KGC-000 in what will be my 3rd Com Guards force. This is the first white liveried mech that I've ever been truly happy with how it came out. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Not the best of pictures, but... My Federated Suns Davion Guards force. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Enforcer ENF-4R and Raven RVN-1X in Davion Guards livery. Until the new AGoAC box comes out, my Federated Suns force is completely painted.
Went for a hike today and decided to bring my DSLR. Managed to get a nice picture of a turkey vulture (managed to catch it in flight even!) and a few nice pictures of bees in action.
Been working on some Republic of the Sphere mechs in the Hastati Sentinels livery. Took a bit of time due to all the awful heat we had been having. Annihilator, Victor, Bushwhacker, Hunchback, Vulcan, Blackjack, Havoc, Panther, and Locust IIC. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
I somehow managed to win my first ever game of #AlphaStrike tonight! 300 point fight of Rasalhague Dominion Tau Galaxy against Jade Falcon Epsilon Galaxy. Gotta say, that I was surprised that the Hammerhead somehow survived all 7 turns. That's a spunky mech.
This one from Loot Studios (their take on a monster from Rime of the Frost Maiden) was the one I am still proud of. It was the first mini I used a black wash and a brown wash, and never was I more proud of how the skull in the ice, the old battered cloak, and the antlers/bone staff came out.
Painted up some InnerSphere battle armor in Davion Guards livery. Overcoming my hand shaking was very real with getting those stripes on those tiny things. 😅 #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Davion Atlas, Templar, and Merlin mechs. The Atlas sporting an Ace Pride flag on its left shoulder. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Share your dream mech that you want to pilot. Personally, I'd love to pilot either of these beautiful mechs. But if I had to choose, the Nightstar definitely.
Ooo. That'd be my non-canonical mercenary company, the Saberwolves Mercenary Company based out of Blumenort by the ilClan era. Started up just before the Clan Invasion and somehow endured over the centuries to the size they currently are.
Introduce yourself with four video games. Man...I played the bejesus out of all of these games...
Objective vehicles: MASH truck, mobile headquarters, mobile Long Tom artillery, and the support carriage. Done in a generic brown with a little red accent stripe. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Decided to shift this unpainted Stormcrow Prime to being painted up in Rasalhague Dominion Tau Galaxy livery as I needed to bolster my medium mech forces there. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Thank you! And good question! I have my own non-canon mercenary company that I field (The Saberwolves Mercenary Company) and used my own custom livery for (the name and livery were actually a suggestion by someone on bsky!). It was really fun fielding them with the Scouring Sands campaign. 1/5
Davion Locust, Falconer, and Thunderbolt. Just 7 more to go to finish up my Davion force. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Davion Thanatos THS-4S, Archer ARC-2R (modified to close the missile doors), Blackjack BJ-3, and Jackalope JLP-BD BattleMechs. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Well, there's your problem... My car relieving itself from the top of the radiator. Managed to catch a picture of it to show the mechanic just before dropping it off to get fixed today.
For me: this Dragonborn Wizard is my favorite because despite challenging me on so many levels while working on it because of so many little details, when I finally finished painting it, I felt such elation that I had finished and still liked how it came out. Still really proud of that purple flame.
