More 'mechs keeps on a comin' with the Marauder. A classic mech if there ever was one even if this plastic sculpt is not really all that good, a little paint and a little love makes it all come together!

I painted a Kraken (Bane) 3 in the colors of the Clan Jade Falcon Epsilon Galaxy based on the 18th Falcon Regular. This is the last Mech from my second ACES Scouring Sand Box.

#Hobbystreak day 2. Another company is ready for the table which means I now have a full battalion of Canopian Highlanders.

Work in progress time! These are for Clan Hell's Horses' Alpha Galaxy, just taken up a notch with the "heat" effects. Some poor techs have to paint these on after every battle. 😄
A Binary (ten 'Mechs) of Clan OmniMechs in dark gray with maroon accents and heat effects on most weapons, fading from white to dull red. Back row, left to right: Dire Wolf (Daishi), Regent, Blood Asp, Gargoyle (Man O' War), and Linebacker. Front row, left to right: Grendel (Mongrel), Hellion, Nova (Black Hawk), Battle Cobra, and Viper (Puma). The photo is on a work bench with a cutting mat in the foreground.

Got this Pillager in a blind box for a game with my son, and as is tradition, I painted it to match the force I had on the table at the time.

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.
3 mech miniatures fighting in an arena with wall sections that randomly raise and lower.

The rest of the pursuit lance was already posted in the past, so we're jumping to the Striker Lance with Lieutenant Sonja Hinchcliff's T-Bolt.

Not technically the right variant, but who cares?

Helios 'Mech of the Eridani Light Horse

#BattleTech #miniatures
A painted miniature of a Helios 'Mech. It is olive drab and the cockpit glass is pinkish red. The emblem of the Eridani Light Horse, a black horse on a yellow circle, is on the right torso. A yellow and olive checkered pattern decorates the left torso. The miniature is photographed on grassy terrain.

There's like a billion different factions that use this colour way, but I decided to use a spare model to do a 1st Royal Cavaliers RCT mech!

Returning to #battletech in 2026, starting with this WIP rifleman! It took a bit of back and forth to decide on the color scheme but I'm happy with the results! May be my crispiest cockpit glass yet. Now I just need a name for the unit...

A great read to start the new year. Illusions of Victory by Loren Coleman is a fantastic book. The Solaris setting really sets it apart from other battletech books.

Got my first #Battletech game in yesterday, triple threat. We rolled Focal Point. I had the Thud with the AC/20. It was a fun game, the AC/20 headcapping 2 'Mechs, before his LRM Ammo went up. Ultimately it was a draw, but loads of fun. We also were reminding that taking damage underwater is bad.

The Summoner (H variant) from the new ACES box set is pretty darn cool looking.

Check out this week's Hobby Hangout on our Instagram!

www.instagram.com/ca...

We want to be able to bring it to Bluesky, but until we can get over that technical hurdle, check out the Hobby Hangout over there.

Here are some awesome previews of what was featured this week!
Sticking out like a sore thumb, Warlockami bucked the trend this week by painting a Clan Sea Fox mug! That would probably cost a fair few Sea-Bills on the open market! Using a newer trend that picked up this year, KnighthawkS86 talked about how paint pens helped them out with details! We are going to have to try more of that! LarsDiamond recently got a wet palette for their birthday and painted up this cartoony Fulcrum! How a commission painter got by without one is beyond me! - https://www.instagram.com/p/DSQb4_jDMOt/ Markus 'MayDay' Witthaus rejects the notion of speeding up his painting! Every piece, like this kitbashed Warhammer 11T, is a work of art and he treats them as such! Touche!
