Wip. Warhammer, Mini painting and trans related stuff. She/her 🏳️⚧️.
Ironwind metals minis assembled (excluding the arm for highlander which was missing.) Birthday gift from my partner. These are my five fave mechs. The Black Knight is maybe the coolest battletech mini. #battletech
Game went well today. But not for me. 2v2 game both my heavy and assault mech taken out in first two turns. Banshee Gauss to the head and the Marauder fell over and pilot got knocked unconscious. That's Battletech for you. My team won the game. Urban mech even got a kill with a kick!
I love the Marauder but I don't think there's a good angle to photograph it from.
My Battletech trans pride lance is officially game ready. Wanna do some highlights and tidy up but got a game tomorrow with these. #battletech #minipainting
Packing up my minis for moving from my display case. Huge variety of stuff here I've painted over the users. D&D, Warhammer 40k, Sigmar and Fantasy, WW2 stuff, random 3D prints and more. #minipainting
A quick trip to GW today and got it nicely washed. I really need more blue paints I basically have none
Went to pride this weekend with my girlfriend we accidentally had very different vibes.
For the metals I paint them dark grey then Drybrush with oily steel (from ak? But any standard metal works). Wash with black. Then light Drybrush/highlights with a mix of the original metal and bright silver (chrome by valejo). I go harder on weapons than other metals so they stand out.
Some better pics of the Timber Wolves. These are testers for the bigger Clan force I'm helping my girlfriend paint up. #battletech #minipainting
Took some better pics of the Comguard themed force. Ready to take done some Clanners and collect on overdue phone bills. #battletech #minipainting
Painted a one of Dragon Battlemech in Kurita Sword of light colours and I think I will be doing more in this scheme. I will finish the base eventually.
Helped my partner paint up 3 Timber Wolves for her Battletech Clan force. Each of the three parts of the Cluster? Has its own accent colour.
Keeping yo my tradition of finishing the paint job but taking weeks to do basing 🫡. Just need a Crab and the Comstar themed Battletech force is done.
Prepping lots of Battlemech minis to paint. There's like a whole Battlemech battalion here (maybe a cluster it's mostly my gfs clan mechs). Mine will be a mix of Com Guard and mercs.
Com Guard mechs painted up, just need to do basing. Was meant to be a quick scheme but i kinda love painting white and got carried away. Plus a wee free hand attempt... First lot of Battletech minis I've painted and I love them.
Also helping my. Partner paint her clan forces for the battle of tukkayid. Here's a wip of those.
Battlemechs all primed and good to go. Will be attempting to finish this ComGuard force this weekend
Haven't done any hobby in ages but recently Battletech has taken over my life. Did a quick test model for a Com Guard force for Tukkayid Campaign.
Taught my partner and friend to play 40k 10th today. Some fun Tau on Tau action.
