We also played a 4 way battle, 4K introtech. Another brutal fight, but I FINALLY took down the Goliath that had been plaguing us for several games. Yeah, that sumbitch has a ton of armor, but a Hunchback 4P had 8 ML to help strip it away. Sure, he had to focus fire to take down the 4P, but victory

Sunday night Alpha Strike mayhem. The battle rages...
The 5th Marik Militia bum-rush Objective 2 on the left flank of the 13th Donegal Guards while a smaller diversionary force keeps the Steiner troops on the right flank at Objective 1 pinned down. #alphastrike #battletech

I painted another mech. A Locust IIC 4 from the Battletech Aces: Scouring Sands box set. The Locust is painted in the colors of the 18th Provisional Garrison Cluster for the Rasalhague Dominion.

Finished ilclan era CJF heavy striker star.
This was a fun paint scheme to come up with, I knew I wanted something falcon-y without going with the conventional "mountain dew" colors, so I went a lil closer to monster energy

Oh hey, it's been almost ten years since I painted the entire Rolling Thunder company from the old scenario pack. These were all lead.
A dozen old BattleTech miniatures against a city street background. They're all painted ruddy brown with silver weapons and blue cockpits. Left to right: Wolverine, Ostroc, Ostsol, Shadow Hawk, Hermes II, Victor, Hunchback, BattleMaster, Firestarter, Awesome, Archer, and Warhammer.

Next big work in progress group shot, a custom (mercenary?) unit. No name that I know of yet.
A group of nine BattleTech miniatures, all in olive green. There are four tanks and five BattleMechs; the 'Mechs have dark gray "tiger" stripes and red shoulders. The tanks, left to right, are a Demolisher, Manticore, Pegasus, and Schrek PPC Carrier. The 'Mechs are a Guillotine, Icarus II, Atlas, Javelin, and Ostroc.

On the other hand, I specifically made sure to paint my IWM #Wendigo before this plastic one came out.

#Hobbystreak day 245. I need to hype myself up a bit before I start on the Jade Lancers. In the mean time I am working on a quick lance of Canopian Highlanders.

Still making my way through the Arano set, halfway there!

I've been distracted prepping for a 40k tournament in a few weeks so to get me back into the battletech mood I've picked up two boxes of mechs. The thug has been a favourite since I first saw it and urban mechs are little menaces! #Battletech

Today I painted Mech. An Avatar AV1-O in the colors of House Kurita Ryuken-go. That is my interpretation of Ryuken-go, which does not quite correspond to CSO.

Decided that my Raven Alliance Delta Garrison Galaxy needed a Cyclops C, which is an upgrade of the standard Cyclops with clan spec weapons and hardened armor. This is going to be one of the command units of my force.

Is the Catapult #BattleTech's most famous fire support unit? In the 90s, it felt like Jaime and Morgan put the Archer clearly ahead - but maybe the Unseen years eroded that reputation?

It's been a while since our last #Battletech 'mech feature, but today we're looking at an old favorite, the Catapult!
Weighing in at 65 tons, this venerable chicken walker is probably the most famous fire support unit in the game.

Pics from the game.
The 13th Donegal Guards must hold the line!!! This is my right flank. One Battlemaster 1D in reserve. The 5th Marik Militia is coming, in force with 2 Battlemech lances and a platoon of Vedette tanks. Good times.
