Fan of the Horus Heresy, miniature hobbies and wargaming. I also enjoy BatttleTech because it's a great colouring-in game. Commission model builder.

The Mech was airbrushed, house insignia was painted freehand.

Thought you might like to see a few photos of the lovely painting Edd209 did here. This model will be publicly on show at Spiel Essen games expo in Germany this weekend as part of the Catalyst Game Labs stand - be sure to check it out!

I recently had the pleasure to see this impressive display piece painted by my friend Edd209 - a super-sized BattleTech Gothic Rifleman in House Steiner colours. This is an official upscaled 3D print of the model from the new BattleTech: Gothic boxed set and stands over a foot (30cm) tall.

We doing ye olde Beakies?

Here's mine Space Wolf from when the traders were rogue, definitely not armed with a xenos weapon.

Samis is one of the most dynamically posed miniatures I've ever own and incredibly detailed.

It definitely feels like a warp entity made real, with all sorts of peculiar features. Subtle nods to each of the 4 chaos gods in the sculpting!

Very hard to photograph, best appreciated in the resin.

Samus is here!

This infamous villian of the Horus Heresy series is now complete.

Sculpted by Trish Carden of Forge World, this was a lot of fun to build.

Painting: fleshwork and spines by Popcorn Gen, sword, base and details by @noxpainting.bsky.social

I'm very pleased with how it turned out!

Update: Looks like it's an.... acceptable day for the Iron Hands. The Gorgons get their pew-pew back.

Also, Imperial Fists no longer infiltrated by Alpha Legion for Bastion Fire is both a necessity for balance, and a loss for game high-jinks.

That's not an oversight on the Gorgons.... it's just sloppiness. And it's not just the Combi Bolters either, what about people who made them with power and chain fists or graviton guns?

Not sure why Destroyer Squads are missing from the list either? That seems deliberate.

Also what about this guy?

Just looking at the Iron Hands Gorgons.... they can't even take all the weapon options you get in the kit 🙃

Oh well, who needs Combi Bolters? Guess we'll just use harsh language instead 😂

I feel that it is an appropriate moment to meme:

Looks like another major SNAFU over at Warhammer.com for a limited edition heresy book release.

I do hope they aren't doing an M&S here 😬

Another Zaku, this time with a big zookaesque launcher.

Each mobile suit is on a single frame (sprue) with a separate base. Presumably this allows for either the round or hex base to suit the game.

Watch out Games Workshop, the Gundam's a' comin!

My own little Zaku from Bandai's upcoming Gundam miniatures card game. Very impressive models!

Available to build and paint at the UKGE Bandai stand.

But the Kraken is graceful!

Look here, it likes to go skiing!

Great books, hope you enjoy them.

For the benefit of the community here, I'd just like to share one of my favourite pieces of art from these classics.

I present the graceful Kraken:

My first was 107 in the original run.

It had this rather vigorous barbarian on the cover, giving some mean-looking skelingtons what-for.

I remember(ish) the first one you bought, those Aspect Warriors were rad and I bought lots of them for my then Eldar army. Must be an issue in the 120's?

Okay, had a quick read through the Space Marine rulebook (1989) and there is indeed a mention of the White Scars being at the Siege of Terra. It's only a passing mention, but it is there nonetheless.

In a weird development, it turns out some people play BattleTech on hex maps and with terrain!
February 17, 2025 at 10:15 PM
A gloriously bad moment!

The photos definitely suffer from WarComOff's ability to take technically superb photos that make the subject look weird.

I feel this glimpsette from the end of the video gives a better impression...
