Crossbow in the scheme of my homebrew unit The Broken Fang. A star of Steel Vipers survived the Annihilation by virtue of being too far away. They settle in the Clan Protectorate, where their mechs outlive the warriors. The unit still kept its colours #battletech #minipainting #mechwarrior

Locust IIC of the 1st Protectorate Guardians. My take on the canon scheme for them. Will be using this lil guy in an upcoming game. Got adventurous with the base, very happy with the result. #battletech #minipainting #mechwarrior Still a few touchups here and there that look worse in photos than irl

Toying with lists for an upcoming Ilkhan 6k bv game. Outside of the Firemoths (theyre cheap and do something) mostly picking on rule of cool/ i have this model and want to use it. #battletech #wargaming

I've been a bit quiet on the painting front due to it being stupid cold down under. Frozen hands make for poor brushwork.

Not much has changed but I guess I should give this guy a base soon #battletech

I've been getting my wife into #minipainting. She's doing pretty good. Gave her one of my three Timberwolves to paint. #battletech

Cave Lion finished. Life got busy so completion was a bit delayed. Extremely expensive in BV for a 75 tonner but i look forward to using it on the table. #battletech #minipainting

Nova Cat B and a Wendigo round out the new metals. Yet to finalise the paint scheme for these but im thinking of matching all five to the black boots/white tops ive done previously. #battletech #ironwindmetals #miniaturepainting

Gonna be honest, assembly is my least favourite part of the hobby. I miss mono pose models sometimes.

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

3d printed bases arrived so im assembling some #ironwindmetals! Some of the later era Nova Cat mechs. L2R we have an Ocelot, Cave Lion and a Morrigan. Have a Wendigo and Nova Cat B still to come. Kodiak and Archer provided for scale. #battletech

Got some metals from IWM today. Didn't realise they came without bases. Have to wait for some bases in the mail before i assemble them.

And with these the Unmarked are a full company. Might add more to them later but they're done for now. #battletech #miniaturepainting

Make sure to save any cookie and candy tins you get this Christmas! They make fantastic storage boxes for miniatures! Just put little magnets under the bases of each unit and they stick really well! #Battletech #battletechminiatures #battletechhobby #mecha #paintedminiatures

A shiny (literally) new Nightstar for the Unmarked (totally just pirates we swear). Photographing this was tricky, still working out my new phone camera and I think the metallics confuse it. This thing absorbed a fiendish amount of paint, it's so big. Sculpt is pretty nice. #battletech #minipainting

#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.

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

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

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

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

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

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.

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

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

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

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

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

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

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

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

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

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

Nova @n0-v4.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

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
