Back to painting on the rest of my bullshit. After this, I think I'm going to dodge back to some non-battletech stuff, I'm starting to burn out on batch painting even simple paint schemes.

Lyran Manticore VSTOL Aerofighter, Battletech Gothic.
Not nearly as fast as most fighters, or even bombers, the Manticore's agility is so far beyond them that it has a record of suddenly pivoting and snatching unwary fighters straight out of the air, using its strong tail stinger to inject a foreign agent into their fuel tank, and letting go to fly away as the ship explodes behind.

Got the base ready for final detailing, the mini attached, all the fur blocked in, and the shadows/depths for the wings. Also, the nearly black brown for the tail. The hard part is going to be fitting the Lyran Commonwealth color scheme onto the armor and getting the heraldry on. Maybe I can "tattoo" the heraldry on the wings, like it's a WIGE.

I’m not pre-ordering the new 40k edition. I will probably get my codexes when they come out, but I’m just not playing it much anymore.
I am pre-ordering the new stuff for Battletech. Even though I mostly intend to play Alpha Strike I’d like to try to new “classic” core.
Need to find time to play another Scouring Sands mission.

I have a mixed relationship with Battletech.
The 2nd ed boxed set and maps all over the floor was my first experience. The game took seconds in game, but many hours in real time. Still, I loved the concept. Yeah, mechas are goofy and makes no sense, whatever.
When I bought and tried Alpha Strike it was as if all the promise of the game had been fulfilled! Big games of combined arms where possible. Just imagine. I will never play Classic again as long as I live.

The innovative development from the SEED program, the Skygrasper is a battlefield delivery aerospace fighter, dropping equipment to Strike Gundam as needed. It shown here with the maneuver pack, ready for delivery.
The skygrasper can make use of the modules itself, as well, including the sword and launcher, and earned its first stripe by spearing a drone with the sword midair.

The same test mech, this time with a giant plasma sword, its cutting blade capable of lopping a limb off anything short of an assault mech, or getting some extra reach with the conventional metal blade on the tip.
The white stripe is indicative of progress in testing, with each successful test widening the stripe, until the torso and head are all white, ready for production.

The Draconis Combine went large, eschewing the unsamurailike shields in favor of giant fucking weapons, in this case a (two) hand held heavy gauss rifle, caught here mid-flight as the test pilot improvised a partial jump jet maneuver to offset the kick of the rifle, thrusting him backward a good thirty meters.
This maneuver was clipped and used for the sizzle reel, obviously.

I think that's all the red done, and the grey stripe down the center as well. Just need to finish the weapons and maybe do the glow of the eyes in the head, if I'm feeling it, then it's attitude of the knife time.

Close enough to done to mount on the bases for easier handling.

More base work today. The paint scheme is pretty simple, so I'll probably finish it tomorrow morning.

And now the magenta is mostly gone. It'll stay there, down in the shadows, unobtrusively making things look better. The unsung hero of the minis.

And so it begins. Bases are imprinted and drilled, sides filed smoothish, and primer laid down, a nice quinacridone magenta for my shadow color.

What's up my thudes! This time we are heading to weebville, the Draconis Combine, who are probably mighty pissed other people are stealing their valuable cultural heritage, Mobile Suit Gundam. I have assigned them the Gundam SEED miniatures, because somebody's gotta take 'em.

Scouring Sands
Mission 2 (Sortie 5)My commander’s King Crab took the brunt of the attacks for two turns and was destroyed, but it gave us a chance to pick off other mechs and forced two to withdrawal after turn 2.
Successful defense of the city, but my commander was injured and will miss the next sortie.

The Steiners are big fans of large melee weapons, and while they didn't have access to the plasma sword, instead they ran a heat sink access directly to the engine and ran the heat directly out to the blade of a big axe, dubbed the Heat Tomahawk. Bleeding off excess heat from secondary weapons by giving it to your opponent is a nice bonus to the sheer damage it does.

The handheld Thunderbolt 20 launcher is substantially more threatening than the UAC10, and massed fire can put out a frightening amount of firepower at long range. It lacks the critical-seeking efficiency of an LRM20, but that's a sacrifice the Steiner are willing to make. A mech with no center torso is just as destroyed, after all.

All of these "Zaku" have a revolutionary boosting system that mounts jump jets, but allows them to be fired in such a way as to boost the mech forward at substantially enhanced speeds without moving far above the ground. It's not a true LAM system, but it works well, and while the UAC10 is not the strongest primary weapon, it gets the job done.

A group shot of the Lyran Alliance's answer to the Federated Suns. The same handheld weapon system, largely abandoned since the Star League and the Succession Wars, but a single platform bearing a distinct and possibly intentional resemblance to the Horned Owl, or "Peregrine" as the Spheroids call it.

So few, small changes that it's barely worth posting about. Tonight is Attitude of the Knife time, I'm getting decals on the right shoulder armor plate and then varnishing them. I'll move on to something else. Not sure what yet, maybe another Gundam series, I like IBO and have two copies of the minis. No SD Gundam toys though.

A short time painting today, because I'm slightly sick and more in pain, but they're ready for basing and decals now.

I may do some cleaning up on the heat hawks, the painting today was tiny and finicky and ARGH, I am kind of ready to move on to doing the jump jets, basing, and decals.

Two hours of painting doing nothing but putting on the blue and raising the highlights on the white. My eyes are exhausted, my hands are exhausted. Damned if it doesn't look pretty good though.

From a base of extra-dark Permanent Violet Dark, all the way up to white. There'll be some touching up of the white after I get the blue on most of it, and then detailing can start.

Third and finally, the RX-78 Gundam. An entirely new armor technology, taking the Federated Suns into a new era, and a new take on omnimechs, utilizing hand-held weaponry that can be changed out on the fly during battle. The brand new plasma swords take melee combat into a new realm unimaginable when NAIS invented the mech hatchet. The weapons can optionally be used on the Guncannon as well!
