Some more finished #Battletech minis from the previous batch. A Solitaire for my Clan Sea Fox force. A pair of Wolverine mechs painted for command for my merc unit. A Centurion with a shield, a Summoner, and a Crusader.

I finally got around to finishing another batch of #Battletech minis. These are all for my still-unnamed merc group. A Stalking Spider II, Jackalope, 3x Cizin, and 2x Hadur.

It's been a while, but I painted a star of #Battletech Elementals. This was an alternate "Elemushki" model by Sir Mortimer Bombito. When I showed them to my wife, she said they looked like cartoon frogs, so I leaned into that on the paint job and tipped the SRMs to look like eyes.

I finished painting another #Battletech mini for my unnamed merc unit. Since this Archer is a command mech, it was painted with purple instead of the red I used on the other mechs. All of them done to look grungy since they've been through battles already.

I finished painting another batch of Battletech minis. A lance of vehicles and a lance of mechs for my made up, but still unnamed mercenary group. Vehicles (L to R): a Mars Combat Vehicle and three Chalchiuhtotolins. Mechs: Malice, a Locust, a Crael Crusader, and a Yen Lo Wang Centurion

I finished my first batch of painted mechs. I was shooting for Battlemechs that were made or otherwise commissioned by Clan Sea Fox (L to R): Mad Dog Mk IV, Mad Cat Mk IV, Regent, Hammerhead, and Solitaire. I didn't want to decorate the bases, so I left them off while painting to keep them clean.

A buddy of mine got me back into Battletech, so despite living across the country from him, I'm collecting minis and giving a go at painting them. I'm planning on a Binary of Clan Sea Fox mechs and some random force of a made-up late-era Inner Sphere merc company.

I'm starting to do some painting of Battletech minis. It's been a while since I've done ANYTHING with tabletop minis, and I'm not really great with paint, but we'll see how this goes.

The downside of being a pessimist is that sometimes you end up being right.
Good luck to us all.

My wife and I voted via early mail-in ballots a few weeks back, and while it gave a sense of relief, it also grew a separate bit of anxiety waiting for today. I'm trying to remain hopeful, as difficult as it is for me right now.
