Made a bit more progress on my Battletech arena walls. I’m thinking of making the two center walls only level one height so they block ground movement and add cover without blocking LOS…

Since I’m mainly just playing in the gladiator arena map I decided to make terrain for the wall sections that raise and lower. The wall counters that come with the map don’t do a great job of giving an instant read on their state…

Playing Battletech recently and painting the miniatures reminded me of the time I got to help build and detail a real life giant robot.
My job was to add the details. Attach bolts, tie downs, and control panels… then paint on emblems, warning markings, rust & battle damage.

Over the break I decided to give BattleTech a try. I remember playing it 30+ years ago. I’m enjoying it. There’s something really addictive about tracking damage at that scale. I don’t enjoy the overall war theme but find the mech gladiator arena fights really fun.

Doing final touch up painting on pre painted Warsenal terrain. Pre painted MDF is a great timesaver but you still need to paint the unpainted edges.
Example of the same terrain with and without touch ups…

Painted up a bunch of Manticore Borz Group minis for BLKOUT. I was dreading these because of the small detail but focused on just dry-brushing and then adding 2 highlight colors. Happy with the vibes… they have an intimidating presence.

I’m working on a murder mystery tile matching game. There are 3 sets of tiles at the bottom of the stack that represent the suspects.
Before marching a suspect tile to ‘accuse’ you need to match general tiles to reveal clues to narrow down the suspects. 1-2 player.

BLKOUT custom case is here and fits everything. Most of the minis are stuck to the bases with green stuff for now so I can quickly spray on a primer coat before the big rainstorm hits tomorrow.

Played a quick learning game of Blkout today. Still building most of the minis so I had to use some proxies. I like how fast it plays!
I’m using the Black Powder Red Earth 2D terrain to make things easier while I’m learning. I need to build some mechs next!
