When I first met Versus I learned very quickly how amazing a modeler and painter they are; then they did *this* jaw-dropping monstrosity of a diorama and my head exploded forever. Absolutely incredible artistry and a beautiful homage to one of the best pieces of old school #BattleTech art!

Of course the rest of the Star League force (and one replacement) will be going towards the Red Hunters, who do you think you're talking to?

Of them all, the Malice is my personal favorite sculpt. I'd be amazed if nobody's converted one into a REX yet. #battletech

A few more Battletech minis. Decided to go make the teal sparkly this time for the clan mechs because that's how the aces box looks to me.
Battletech Minis: Huntsman and Kingfisher, both painted in a teal and grey color scheme meant to represent the Jade Falcon Rho Galaxy colors.

I'm partial to the #Battletech tables I worked on. Both the original system and the updated one with larger hexes and more detail. I have conceptualized a third iteration for a, much more complete terrain system for multi-level cities. If only I had spare time I could devote to developing it...
My old table, where we played a Tukayyid game, Jade Falcons against ComStar My old table, where we played a Tukayyid game, Jade Falcons against ComStar This setup was my update to that concept, with larger hexes and much more detailed. I need to find time to take updated pics with the latest thing I painted. Among them, a ferris wheel, a large HPG, and an anti orbital defense gun.

Battletech keeping the void at bay, one mech at a time. If I'm not careful, I might actually get through my backlog.

The third member of my Star League Defense Force lance for #BattleTech, the Blackjack. This is by a healthy margin the best miniature I’ve painted to date. Checkers are new to me, but with the aid of a pencil are quite doable.

🇬🇧: Since this is "my first Warhammer mini" I painted it as the one piloted by Natasha Kerensky, the Black Widow herself.

🇪🇦: Como esta es "mi primera mini de un Warhammer" lo pinté como el pilotado por Natasha Kerensky, la mismísima Viuda Negra.
