Hoi,
Let's travel from the Fantasy Department in the Library to the Overdues and Returns section with some Battletech figures that have been cluttering my pile of shame for at least 5 years.
These are 6 Clan Jade Falcon mechs that I have painted up in the colours of Delta Galaxy, i.e. jade green with yellow accents. Usually Clan mechs operate in units of 5 called stars (each star has 5 points after all) but I had these 6 basecoated since the Kickstarter for the Clan Invasion by Catalyst Games was released.
There's 3 older white metal figures, shown below, and I do like the hefty feel of them as opposed to the new plastic ones.
The plastic mechs however are far easier to paint with better details and sizes.
I only applied transfers for the Clan itself (the green bird with katana on a blue white square backing) and for Delta Galaxy (the white bird with a blue wave in the background) on their legs, there's too little flat space to add other decals like numerals etc.
Now again these miniatures are roughly the size of a good 28mm figure and together with the Library bonus that should net me 50 points. Oh and of course they will net me 30 points in the Stompy Robots Side Duel ;-)
Cheers Sander.
Sylvain: Camouflages is for sissis, that's what these lovely painted mechs are yelling at me. The vivid contrast between the green and the yellow works very well and the details on the panel lines emphasizes their mechanical nature. 50 points well deserved!
Great job Sander!
ReplyDeletethanks heaps Greg
DeleteGreat looking Mechs, Sander! I especially like the green and yellow livery as it makes me think of spring. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish the winter would end alright, I am done with the rain and soggy dampness...
DeleteThe Mechs look amazing love the green and yellow, they just pop
ReplyDeletecheers!
DeleteNice mechs!
ReplyDeletethanks Peter!
DeleteGreat work on the colours, I particularly like the orange accents!
ReplyDeleteThanks, they were a joy to paint!
DeleteNice bright look for your star. Clans don’t need camouflaged….
ReplyDeleteThey don't indeed!
DeleteLive the shade of green. Top work Sander!
ReplyDeletethere's more to come!
DeleteAmazing paint scheme. Well done.
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteVibrant colour, love those Mechs
ReplyDeleteI like them a lot too!
DeleteLovely work. I have finally had a go at battletech in the last year at our club. Fun game.
ReplyDeleteif you liked it, I do suggest you read up on the fluff, it's really immersive. The "warrior trilogy" is a good start!
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteWell they needed to be finally finished!
