Demolisher Heavy Tank
- House Imarra
- Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

The Demolisher is a classic tank, and a nightmare for any mech that needs to be in its vicinity. For my mercenary company the commander utilizes the gauss rifle variant, having the standard AC/20 variant as a bodyguard.

Drillson Heavy Hover Tank
- House Imarra
- Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

The Drillson was the first vehicle I used extensively being the ride of my online MechWarrior Destiny character. It’s a bit of an all-ranger with decent speed, LRMs, SRMs, a Large Laser, and Machine Guns.

Mist Lynx - Clan Jade Falcon Delta Galaxy

If youve ever thought about using the Mist Lynx my one piece of advice is: dont :p jokes aside, as much as the mist lynx is a little underwhelming when compared to other omnimechs there are plenty of recon focused variants that are worth taking

Savannah Master Hovercraft
- Donegal Guard
- Fed Suns Armored Cavalry
- House Imarra
- Ryuken-roku

“what if we strapped a single medium laser to a 1 ton fusion engine propelling it to 216kph?” really enjoyed painting up these lil skittles, i cant wait to field them!

J. Edgar Hover Tank
- House Imarra
- Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

my first real experience with this unit was blowing up heaps of them in mechwarrior 5: mercenaries. in classic it turns out theyre actually decently armored with the standard having 30 points on the front, go figure!

Pegasus Scout Hover Tank
- House Imarra

hover tanks are my favorites of the vehicles so im working on completing all that i have. the pegasus is a great addition! the 3058 upgrade lives up to the “scout” name with ECM, Active Probe, and TAG

Kodiak - Clan Ghost Bear Tau Galaxy

all my other ghost bear models were just to practice the scheme for this bad boy. he’s got that gait that says “i’m coming to git ya” and if he gets ya, you’re toast! 8 ER medium lasers, an ER large laser, 2 streak SRM 6s and a UAC/20 - terrifying

Atlas - Ryuken-roku

i had to do one eventually. i spent a lot of time thinking on what to do with the face and i like what i landed on. the white there is actually the base color i put the contrast and speedpaints over for all of my battletech models

Nightstar - Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

one of my very favorite mechs, i put this off for a while to allow my skills to improve. 2 gauss rifles and an er ppc is a beastly loadout, i just wish there were a few more variants

Banshee - Donegal Guards

the standard 3E variant is so bad this mech has an irl bad rep 😅 the plastic is the 3S and with 2 ppc, an ac/10, 4 medium lasers, and an srm 6 this banshee is not a mech to be underestimated 😊

a Timber Wolf for my partner 💚

i was so happy when my partner asked if id paint a mini for them (they dont play the game). out of 99 unpainted minis to choose from, of COURSE they went straight for the timber wolf! the scheme was also their idea and i love the result 😊

Maxim Heavy Hover Transport - Ryuken-roku

I have 3 of these so that necessitates a different scheme for the odd one out. I painted an SM Tank Destroyer for the Ryuken-roku (because it was designed by the nova cats/draconis combine) so my third of each hover tank will be kuritan 😊

your comment led to me realizing i never took good photos of mine - the bulldog is a fantastic tank, a large laser and 8 srms is no joke!

Condor Heavy Hover Tank - 1st Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

Again my favorite battletech tank of all time - this time in green! the standard carries an underwhelming AC/5 and 2 medium lasers - however there quickly comes fusion variant that upgrades to an AC/10 and 3 medium lasers!

Nova Cat - Clan Ghost Bear Tau Galaxy

I wouldve painted it as Nova Cat but seeing as that clan doesnt stick around as a major player throughout the eras, ghost bear it is. this guy is an offensive powerhouse - 2 er ppcs and 3 er large lasers with the heat sinks to use them is no joke!

Thug - Ryuken-roku

I love the look of this mech, it somehow personifies its name. Its also just a great mech! Im less ecstatic with this paintjob than other recent ones but i think its because its a more muted scheme. im sure itll grow on me 😊
