Today's #mechtober is Warrior House Dài Dá Chì. Recently, Xiào-Zhǎng Dietrich Löwe's 1st Battalion held off Alaric Ward's Golden Keshik at Ramey's Point, sacrificing themselves and battering the Wolves to allow DDC and the 3rd and 4th Chargers to escape. #battletech #mechwarrior #ttrpg #miniatures

I think this is probably the best paint job I have ever done for a mini and I'm not sure its close. Alsolute blast to paint the Bane. #battletech #minipainting

Bane 3 assault class battlemech painted in the grey and red livery of Clan Jade Falcon's Vau Galaxy

Alternate view of the Bane showing the "thunderbird" symbol on the top deck of the mech.

This is the first of my personal #battletech merc unit: Blair's Blackbirds! I'll be running them through a campaign set on Galtor in 3025, using ACES and the new Core Rules for Classic. We'll see how it works lol. I'll be writing battle reports and giving my thoughts on the new rules on my patreon

Another 6mm vehicle - light aerospace fighter in the official colors of 1st Canopian Lancers. Made out of: gunpla part (G-Witch something), a vent, and some plastic rods and sheets. #miniatures #battletech

A green flying vehicle with short wings.
Its front is darker and more bluish.

The same flyer, side by side with a purple mech. They are roughly the same size.

What if tiltjet Y-wing... heheh

A 3D viewport screenshot showing an untextured Y-wing model from Star Wars, but with the engines rotated 90° so that they are facing the ground. As a result of their length, the body of the Y-wing has been raised high in the air, so the forward landing gear has to telescope out to a comical length.

I just want to say, I love your videos, a whole history lesson about the time and place in which the mech was developed. I've painted several mechs I wasn't interested in initially, because something in your video made a connection from the mech to a faction I had no idea were related.

When you become middle-aged, you have to get into smoking meats, World War 2 history, or painting tiny giant robots for a game you'll never play. Anyway, I really like how the red on the underbarrel gives the illusion that this Rifleman has a pair of pump-action shotguns. #battletech

A basic Rifleman 'mech painted in red representing House Kurita. The underbarrel of the second gun on each arm is painted to look like a pump shotgun.
