"Bella's Bolts" Merc unit.

[atraangelis]

Merc Lance , painted up for beginner game using 25th anniversary box units.



Tried out basing them... meh..sort of satisfied, probably need to use sand instead, looks like a toupee to me on the base.

I dig it.  The Dervish is one of my favorites despite the fact that it's a horribly flawed design.

[Col.Hengist]

wow, they really look great. nice job man.

[OverKill]

Dude, totally digging the detail on that hunchback!

[Saatch]

Those look great! Nice job!

Really nice work on these, the highlights are great.

Bee-utiful job! :)

Excellent paint job. Plastics right?

Now lets get down to brass tacks. The tactical composition of the unit doesn't seem very sound. You've got 2 long range mechs, one short range and one harasser. How would you play this unit?

Don't stray too far from your supply station.

it could work, the assassin can spot/recon, the hunchie is bodyguard, and the other 2 both arm LRM users with decent in close weapons, I would swap one of the dervishes SRM ammo bays to LRMs tho, who uses 2 tons for 2 srm2s?

my only worry is the hunchie is too slow for the rest of the lance, maybe a griffon of wolverine would be better suited, although not as scary :-)

[TheMaster1955]

very cool 8)

[FedSunsBorn]

That Hunchback looks awesome, the whole group looks good....especially for plastics.

I will be honest, composition was not in my mind when i did the lance. I chose what looked cool IMHO.
I suppose being a mercenary unit they would have no choice in what units they field, whatever is salvaged they use no?

But in the long run i will consider those things, i'm still to new to Btech to understand the intricacies of unit compositions compliments.

[Dave Talley]

it can still work, especially if you use a different version of the hunch,
there is one with an ac10 so its longer ranged, or 2 lrm10s

the driver just has to hustle more, later you can drop a jumper in
as a replacement
