Some Freehand!

 Just as promised, I've taken some pictures of all of the freehand work I've done on my battlemechs.













This was all the freehand work I did on these guys. I probably could've done more but I really don't know what until I come up with a symbol for them. Maybe some wavy lines and a triangular fox face, I dunno.

I did also get some weathering on them as well. I think that some darker weathering would have worked a bit better, but the light colour of the basing scheme didn't really allow for it, although I am very happy with how the bases turned out on these.


That's all I've got for today folks. Next time, my Reef Troll will be fully painted and ready to roll with a decent base. But for now have a phenomenal day and keep rolling 6's folks!!






Mechs, Techs and Specs!

 Good morning everyone!


Today I have an update (finally) on my Battletech mechs! They're finally finished! Man that took waaaaay longer than I would have liked but some things can't be helped. Due to issues at home I can only paint while I'm at at camp, after work which gives me maybe a few minutes after eating and showering. Still, excuses aside I would like to get A LOT more done in the coming weeks.


Anyhow, without further ado here are some pictures!



















I'll have to take some more pictures highlighting the freehand X's and chevrons on them. Overall I think they turned out to be adequate. I like the camo green against the deep yellow colour and the pinkish red metallics on their weapons. The blue cockpits seem to pop rather well also, I just didn't want an Alaitoc scheme going on for my Battlemechs. 

I think my next few purchases will need to be some vehicles. Hover tanks and tracked tanks seem like a very good idea and might really bring some diversity to the force. 

I intend for my force to be a mercenary force "The Desert Foxes" led by Commander Dalrin Fox, formerly of Clan Wolf. The Desert Foxes will fight for any clan that can afford them, and will sometimes work for the Great House's if it is in their and the clans best interests.


I do need to break out lightbox at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, and take some proper photos of my models. Until then I will be on to the next project. I think I will finish the basing on my reef troll, and then start up on my deepborne dire troll!

Until then my friends, keep rolling 6's!
