Some more WiPs for both #battletech and #warhammer today. First, a start on an Escorpión Imperio Grunt Galaxy star, then the details on a Raven Alliance Alpha Galaxy White Raven, and finally a based (yet unpainted) model I kitbashed for a 40k killteam based on the Valhallan Ice Warriors.
Finally finished a couple WiPs and pushed through a new project today. First, finished all of the undead in the #elderscrolls Bleak Falls Barrow delve by Finally gluing them to their bases. Then, two #battletech lances - finished basing Tortuga Fusiliers, end entirely painted up Eagle's Talons.
Finished a #battletech Level II of a Capellan WoBHouse, Warrior House Rakshasa. The brown ended up a little brighter than I wanted but I'm glad I finally got to paint the Omega and Revenant having bought them a long time ago.
Two new #battletech WIPs. A Clan Coyote Gamma Galaxy and a Capellan Confederation Death Commandos lance. I'm finally bringing myself to do the two mostly-black parts of my push through the Proliferation Cycle set. After these I'll just have to finish SLDF and I'll be done with that project.
Having finished my #battletech Clan Goliath Scorpion Delta Galaxy star, I'm now just under 50% for my Alpha Strike Box Set. Themed around the deep Periphery, I have 4 Umayyad Caliphate and 3 Nueva Castilla 'Mechs to paint and I can call these guys done!
Work in progress #battletech Clan Goliath Scorpion Delta Galaxy star. Largely done except for cockpit canopies, weapon details, and bases. Pondering what color to do the canopies.
An Atlas for a lance of #battletech Brigada de Nueva Castellana to make up half of the Inner Sphere forces of the Alpha Strike box set. I'm okay with it looking somewhat meh; in the deep Periphery they don't really have time for perfection, especially in the shadow of Clan Goliath Scorpion.
Another #battletech work in progress, some Rasalhague Dominion Rasalhague Galaxy 'mechs. This is the "Oops all bears" star. Hadn't occurred to me until now just how "little guy" coded the Bear Cub mini is. I'll probably do weapons in silver when I come back from vacation.
Realized I never really show off completely finished #miniatures here, just a lot of work in progress images. So here's some of my most recently complete #battletech #elderscrolls and #starwars minis.
Working on a canonically accurate #battletech Clan Wolverine Star, based on the cover art of the book "Betrayal of Ideals." Yellow is still a nightmare to paint but I'm just about done with them. Gonna try to do an anti-zenithal of a dark purple to add some shadows and base them martian red sand.
More #battletech miniatures. This time, a Draconis Combine 12th Ghost Regiment lance. I could have done better with the freehand stuff, probably, but I'm mostly satisfied with the outcome. Just gotta base em now.
Continuing my #battletech Proliferation Cycle, I'm pushing through the SLDF's Royal Black Watch Regiment. The freehand tartan and Star League insignia are a little sloppy but it's a start.
#battletech Aces Scouring Sands OpFor almost 100% done. Just gotta give the sandy base a wash and make the rims black. Painted these guys up as Clan Jade Falcon Rho Galaxy, to line up with their canonical unit designation in the campaign as the 18th Falcon Regulars.
First time writing words at this scale with the paintbrush on my #battletech Cobra Pharaoh Keshik Ebon Jaguar. Not the neatest it could have been but I also used a larger brush than I meant to.
WiP #battletech Draconis Combine 9th Ghost Regiment. I figured if anyone was going to put gold all over their 'Mechs, it's the former yakuza guys. Have to shade the gold, add weapon details, and color the cockpit canopies and I'll call them done.
Most of my #starwars #shatterpoint Delta Squad #miniature painted up. Just gotta paint up Sev and base them. They look a lot bigger than they are once you've actually painted them.
Painted up a Burrows & Badgers Kindred hen harrier #miniature recently. The Kindred are kinda rangery vibes so I felt that leather armor with green accents fit him well. Looking forward to painting the rest of my Kindred.
Finished my #battletech Clan Sea Fox Skate Khanate star. I took some liberties with what "silver highlights" meant, but I'm happy with the results. Went with all black bases for simplicity; I think it ends up looking pretty sharp this way.
Sic Semper Tyrannis! Just gotta base these #battletech Lothian Guards 'Mechs and they'll be all done. Lots of new stuff for me here: lighter colors than most of my projects, first time freehanding an insignia, and using a Turbo Dork color-shift paint. Turned out pretty good I think.
A couple works in-progress from the mini mines. First I've converted a Bolt Action Sherman V to use a tesla canon and will be adding a mine flail to make a Crab. Second and third are undead from Bleak Falls Barrow. Fourth, a Grey Knights Apothecary to go with a Redemptor Dreadnought I was gifted.
New work in progress, took some creative liberties with this #battletch Clan Sea Fox Skate Khanate star. After my Christmas vacation I'll see if I can't cut them off of their bases so I can make appropriately maritime bases for these glorified merchant marines.
Typically, I keep my mech painting to BattleTech, but I recently put together this Linebacker Jump Walker from Konflict '47. Doing a USMC camo scheme for this guy and (eventually) the Firefly jump troops. Tried a bunch of new techniques on this guy, and I'm happy how it turned out.
