But what if that Marauder had 9 guns? Scorpion Empire Seeker Galaxy Marauder IIC online!

"Hello fellow Sphereoids, could you perchance give me directions to the museum?"

Didn't expect to be painting more, but can't have Scorpion Empire without a Warhawk. I love the "C" Variant sculpt.

Timberwolf in the books for Seeker Galaxy, Scorpion Empire. I now have a full Star painted! Timberwolf, Night Gyr, Ebon Jaguar, Stormcrow & Locust IIC
September 15, 2025 at 7:14 PM
This Stormcrow was way more frustrating to paint than the Ebon Jaguar or Locust IIC. I think it turned out ok.

Locust IIC 2 for the Scorpion Empire Seeker Galaxy!
September 9, 2025 at 12:27 AM
With my St Ives Lancers & Alpine Mercs complete, time to tackle the Clans. I bring you Scorpion Empire Seeker Galaxy, an Ebon Jaguar T!
September 8, 2025 at 7:29 PM
My 1st St Ives Lancers are done! Cicada makes #40.

The Complete Alpine Legion Demi-Battalion. Akhellion Green upper bodies, Basilicanum Gray lower body. Wraithbone Primer, lead belcher on the metal bits with a nuln oil wash. Hashamut Copper cockpits. IlClan era formation. Every mech in the force is either a variant with jumpjets or can have them.
August 31, 2025 at 3:44 PM
My Mercs are done. I might post up the full unit pics, but until then I give you Merc #39 for my 1st St Ives Lancers; my second Cataphract to the left of its elder.
August 31, 2025 at 4:14 AM
The penultimate mech for my Alpine Legion Mercs, the wonderful Royal Griffin!
August 26, 2025 at 4:15 AM
The last of the Heavy and Assault mechs for my Alpine Legion mercenaries are painted. 2 Mediums and 2 Lights are primed and on deck. This project came together so fast!
August 20, 2025 at 1:50 AM
Valkyrie Online! I am officially out of models, 7 more need priming (one also needs assembly). Going to run this one as the "C" or "QS5" variant I'm the Hinterlands campaign, leaning towards the "C."

The Penetrator might have the worst name amongst battlemechs, but with well layed out armor, jump jets and a fusilade of energy weapons it makes sense for my Alpine Legions.
August 13, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Behold! The Urbanmech's final form, the Shogun!
August 11, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Loki MkII done.

Starslayer down for the Alpine Legion. TBH whilst I could just paint up whatever for Mercs, the self constraint of "must have jumpjets" (or access to Jump Jets for Omnimechs) means I am painting up and using mechs I would never have tried otherwise. 10/10 fun choice.
