Got my second game of Classic #Battletech in today. 8K BV, with my Wolf’s Dragoons against my friend’s under-strength mercs led by a Marauder II. In the end, it was a draw, with one crippled mech each, but if we’d kept going that Mad II would have wrecked my face.
The final round of the battle. The silver Hunchback in the center had just been pinched to death, but the Dragoons were still on the back foot. The state of my lance at the end. Two through-armor crits had banged up my Warhammmer pretty badly.

Shadowhawk money gang. Some other attempts at the “bone” color scheme I did a while ago. Not 100% settled on whether I nailed the bone look but I think they look ok regardless. Might try the greener speed paints like rigor mortis but I’ve bought enough single use paints as it is #battletech

So I do still work on models sometimes. These are the #Battletech 'mechs I'm working on just now. I've shown detail on both Riflemen and the Orion before, but the Crusader, Atlas and Marauder II are more or less finished today. I, err. You know, I question my decision-making sometimes. #Nerdlings
A lance and a half of Inner Sphere Battlemechs for Battletech (six mechs). From left to right there is an Atlas AS7-D, a Rifleman RFL-3N, A Marauder II MAD-5A, a Crusader CRD-3R, an Orion ON1-K and a Rifleman RFL-8D. They have all had all of the mould flash cleaned off and been modified and cleaned up cosmetically in various ways.Close up of the Marauder MAD-5A showing the cleaned-up lines of the 'mech (the cockpit especially was a lot of work) and the added whip aerial on top of the 'mech.Close up of the Atlas AS7-D showing the added aerials either side of the "head," drilled gun barrel on the AC-20 and other details. I toyed with the idea of reshaping the chest plate into squares like the MechWarrior 5/MechWarrior Online model, but it didn't look great so I patched it back up with superglue.Close up of the CRD-3R Crusader showing the individually drilled missile tubes on the arm-mounted LRM-15 launchers and cleaned-up lines.

Buddy of mine painted a mech for Battletech for me (as I lack time and talent for painting). And yes, the color scheme was my request; fits the mech.
Partially done painted mech. It has a distinctive green and purple.Finished painted mech; still with the distinct green & purple.

Friday night was an embarrassment of riches for lightning shots. I probably shot for 45 minutes and for the most part the storm stayed on one place. Close enough for the lens I had, but far enough away not to worry about getting struck. It was perfect!
