What do i do with this grey Battletech stuff?
Sort of finished one?
So here we are. This one i think is finished? But for a bit, but i’ll get to that…
The canopy is a simple blue, with brown along the bottom to give the impression of a reflected landscape.
The bush is just hedge foliage from Javis countryside scenics.
What i want to add to each of them is some personalisation. So for example adding a skull to the Lament to indicate the pilot is ex republic from stones brigades or kanji on the shield of the Black Knight to show the pilot was from the DCMS originally.
Obviously i wont do this for all of them as otherwise it will look less special.
Last part, going through some of my other stuff i have found a Wolfhound that needs a repaint and a unassembled Jackalope. That’s the beginnings of another lance right there.
Now one of the repainting issues is for this project i don’t want to use any 3d printing so i need to go through some of my older paint jobs and decide which fast mechs im happy to repaint and break up existing units.
A slight digression if you will indulge. the Eridani Light Horse are fast. the slowest unit i currently have is the Archer. Not super slow, in fact the same speed as an average heavy mech. Speed often comes at a PV price in battletech, and most of the spares i have of above average speeds either are not available to mercenaries or have a PV that sits around the cost of a clan assault mech, yes im looking at you Flashman.
So the next lance is currently:
Jackalope
Wolfhound
And two others.
Building that lance out i need to use lights and mediums, so to my army boxes! Oh and group shot later.
