Recently I scored a bunch of tanks and decided to expand my Marians. Now I'll have to flesh out their fluff :) .

Beautiful color scheme.  What paints did you use?  And thanks for the close ups  :)

Those are really nicely done!

(Do you have a TOE for the unit for those (few?) of us who can't recognise all of the models and versions by sight? Some I know, but others ... not so sure! Ta!)
"That's Lieutenant Faceplant to you, Corporal!"

Things that I have learnt through clicking too fast on 'Move Done' on MegaMek: Double-check the CF of the building before jumping onto it, check artillery arrival times before standing in the neighbouring hex, and don't run across your own minefield.

"Hmm, I wonder if I can turn this into a MM map."

Here ya go. Please note I use the Scimitar minis for LTV-4s, and the Sloth BA has been moded as Marauder Battle Armor.

Awesome! Cheers!

I do like that swarm of Savannah Masters in the Rapid Response Century - they were some of the ones that I could recognise (from my old TRO 3026, admittedly, which is still on a shelf somewhere upstairs).

Bah! Darned PB!

(It was up briefly - I saw it, I swear!)

Out of further nosiness, what era do you (usually) set this unit in?

Jihad and later mostly. My group doesn't really do much era specific play, most of the time we set points values and go from there.

Saint,

Well done.  You’re using Photobucket for hosting?

No they want you to pay if you use them and link pictures to other sites. I'm using Flickr now, not as easy to use but it's free at least.

Some new additions to the unit. First off is a old school Stinger, a Grand Dragon, and a couple of Pike/AC Carriers.


Next up is a bit of a refit. I wanted to make some generic LRM carriers for Striker/Hunter/ or Flatbed Truck (LRM) proxies. The one in the middle is the first attempt , on the left and right is my second attempt. What do you think?

I can see the first, middle job, as a pair of SRM-6s for overall size of launchers. The others scream LRM baby! to me.
