I have a pragmatic approach. MUL says that the Eris is Marik so it is painted purple. And I like the purple, black and gold color scheme. Lore is no longer the deciding argument for the faction in the amount of mechs I own.

My kit is supposed to cover everything. I have it with me at all the events. Either to give demos or to make them available to visitors. This is what my setup looks like right now.

Dirk "Ginoxy" 1140 @ginoxy1140.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

My kit isn't really a grinder kit. It is more Alphastrike, AGoAC and Clan Invasion Set with 2 factions Inner Spheres and 2 factions Clan. It still has these clear divisions as the clan invasion. For Ilclan, I need to change that.

Marine number two for The Wildcards, number 03. Same recipe and the same unit markings as the first one — that's the point with a squad. The visor is the kit's clear orange part, mounted after the face was done. #starcraft #miniaturepainting #archonstudio

I was surprised that they are so good. The miniature has many details, but it is still clean. With 9 miniatures, however, you have 5 poses but many attachments for a individual touch. Assembly is very simple and mould lines are surprisingly few.

First StarCraft Marine off my bench, from the new StarCraft tabletop game. I'm calling the unit The Wildcards. That's why the playing card sits on his right shoulder, with the spade marking 1st Platoon on the front plate. #starcraft #miniaturepainting #tabletopgaming #wargaming #archonstudio

Dirk "Ginoxy" 1140 @ginoxy1140.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

It also took several attempts. The Goshawk is also very accommodating to the sculpture. And with blue, it works better. With red and green, it somehow never stands out and with grey it is so "normal" that no one notices it until they take the mech in their hand and tip it. Then comes the WoW. ☺️
