Robot enjoyer. I paint minis, mostly battletech.
Most comfortable with He/Him.
#battletech #minipainting #miniaturepainting Quartered livery archer done! I may add some unit markings later, going to do a lance to go with him. I prefer to keep my minis faction agnostic though. Base is inspired by roads i saw in Brazil.

Game day! The mysteriously well equipped pirates the Unmarked (left, played by me) will be conducting a raid in territory garrisoned by the Canopian aligned mercenaries the Mithril Vixens (right, played by @arraxis.bsky.social). All minis painted by yours truly. #battletech

Calling it done. Wasnt sure what i was doing with the base. Overall real happy with the effect, eldar are super fiddly to paint though. Scheme inspired by Gyunei Guss' Jagd Doga from Chars Counterattack. #warhammer40k #warhammer #miniaturepainting #aeldari

Man cameras really highlight every stray brushstroke in a way the eye doesnt see. Progress on my swooper from the previous post. Going for harsh dark to light transitions. Trying new techniques. #miniaturepainting #warhammer #warhammer40k #Aeldari

Picked up some Aeldari on a whim a while back, finally started work on one of them. First GW model in a decade or something like that. Still have plenty of mechs to paint but its nice to change it up now and then. Just bases and some pre-shades so far.

And the rest of the bronze mechs. Nightsky and Axman join the Hatchetman and Wolfhound for a very Lyran lance. #battletech #miniaturepainting Working name is the Bronze Boars.

These two had been "almost done" for ages. I wasnt super happy with the bronze effect but decided to just get them finished. Its amazing how much proper basing can improve a model, in the end i think they look alright. #battletech #miniaturepainting

Command/ace mech for the previous lance for @arraxis.bsky.social . Getting the red where i was happy with it took some work. @battletech @miniaturepainting

Some final glamour shots of the lance for @arraxis.bsky.social . Got one more mech to do for them before i get back to my own projects. @battletech @miniaturepainting

Calling the lance done. Sans basing which i'll do tomorrow. Theyre meant to be Canopian spec ops or something like that. I enjoy the kabuki mask for the Panther. #battletech #miniaturepainting

The rest of the lance for @arraxis.bsky.social WIP. Been fun painting in colours i dont normally use. @battletech @miniaturepainting

WIP commission model for my friend @arraxis.bsky.social . Based loosely on their character reference sheet. This is the concept model for a whole lance if it gets the nod. Needs some touchups and the base isnt done yet. Overall i like it. #battletech
August 16, 2025 at 6:05 PM
Got them finished right before gametime. New additions to my nova cats. Theyll be joining the Supernova and Marauder for todays game. #battletech
June 21, 2025 at 2:32 AM
Wip mechs for a game this weekend. There'll be some teal markings going on later, maybe some mystic symbols as theyre nova cats. #battletech Ignore the bronze fellahs in the back.

My list for a 6k game this friday. It was a squeeze but with some select variants i got it all in. #battletech
April 16, 2025 at 9:40 AM
Current wip. #battletech

Theres a lot of AC10 in this lance
March 14, 2025 at 10:22 AM
Gave the Bushwacker some lancemates. Tried to vary it up a bit so it wasnt just all silver. Will have to figure out a unit name. Concept is 'unmarked' mechs belonging to suspiciously well eqipped pirates. #battletech

I kept them genetic enough that they can be played as any faction, advantage of the cats favouring camo schemes.

Trinary of Nova Cats painted over the course of last year, my entry point to #battletech minis. I tried different ideas and techniques as I went and I think you can see how I improved. Timberwolf star was earliest, Turkina star second and the Mad Dog mountainline camo star last.

Painted this for a friend. @commissarbear.bsky.social
Based on his vtuber model which is based on Big Boss from Metal Gear. Also evokes doomguy a bit. This was done before the Bushwacker. #battletech #mechwarrior
February 24, 2025 at 5:35 AM
Gonna throw this up here because why not. Bushwacker loosely based on Mechwarrior 3. #Battletech #Mechwarrior
