New today from the MPU: Ostsol – Santander’s Killers https://mechpainters.org/miniature/ostsol-santanders-killers/ #BattleTech
#Mechtober day 10 is Eridani Light Horse! I've painted a bunch of these over the years. Very simple scheme but looks great. And you have to love a mercenary command that has enough ties to the original SLDF that Clan Goliath Scorpion said "Mine now." #Battletech #Miniaturepainting
Haven’t painted a marine in a while. Came out well I think. Ignore the gloss shoulders. It’s decals prep. #painting #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #spacemarine #wh40k
Probably the cheapest and easiest roads I can make. No painting required and the look okay. Road tape + fun foam. Works for #Battletech, #Heavygear #Teamyankee and other games. #wargaming a.co/d/0g9iXqhe
More #StarGrave 👏👏👏🥳🎉

And done - Sons of Horus Land Raiders for Legions Imperialis. There’s only one snag… I’m having so much fun with these, I kinda want to give 28mm Horus Heresy a go now too! #WarhammerCommunity #LegionsImperialis #SonsofHorus
One thing that #Battletech has been lacking. Scatter Terrain. Terrain that could reasonably show up any where and mix up the table. Let’s face it not every table will have random hills every where they serve the same function. The solar panels fit the bill.
While I wait for Snowblind, I decided to give the Draconis Reach Campaign book a go with the Aces deck as my opponent for the campaign. I present to you...The Mighty Pangolins! A pair of Wolfhounds (WLF-2 & WLF-2H) and a Marauder (MAD-5D) for my 100 point, scale 1 force. #Battletech #AlphaStrike
Figure I should finally and properly make a pinned post so hi, I prattle on about whatever I'm interested in but mostly I'm about painting wargame minis. Here's some of my works:
getting back into the swing of things with a marauder, one of my favourite guys, in one of my favourite colours #battletech #miniaturepainting
The plan is to make at least 9 of these guys. And yes, those are Ral Partha BT infantry. So they’re “official.” #Battletech #Mechwarrior.
Nice thing about these guys are official #Battletech infantry from Ral Partha. But I want to paint up around 9 of these guys. Thats equates to a battalion on the table. #Mechwarrior #Painting #Miniaturepainting
Called at end of 5. Defender did not have the means to stop the attack as they could fire from long range to kill infantry. So butchers bill: Attacker: Centurion (dead) Warhammer (badly damaged) Orion (armour stripped) Battlemaster (minor damage) 1/2 #Battletech #Mechwarrior #Wargaming
Centurion stepped on the Vedette. Then got head criticals by an SRM armed APC. #Battletech #Mechwarrior #Wargaming
So using aerospace fighters. We’re using string to show the flight paths. We’ve been using blue dice to show the altitude of fighters and VTOLs. So thinking of getting blue string. Or two colours if both sides have fighters. #Battletech #Mechwarrior #Alphastrike #Wargaming
Merlins. Not a bad mech really but none of the Inner House units I usually play use them. 🤷♂️ So I decided on doing them in the neutral tan I’ve been using for unaligned units. Plan to add some brown camouflage. #Battletech #Painting #mechwarrior #miniaturepainting
So the blips do actually correspond to an actual unit. We plan on swapping them when units come in line of sight (los) of an enemy. The map is mostly forest. So unless the unit is on a rode, they can only see 6” or less in light woods. I don’t have any tanks but I do have mechanized infantry
@frthegratergood.bsky.social · 2mo agoTest game. Battletech “blips.” #Battletech #Mechwarrior #Wargaming
/1 A somewhat more reserved affair, Legend of the Shadows is always a blast with the #Shadowrun community! #GenCon #GenCon2026 #ttrpg #roleplayinggame #event
