So as some of you know I paint combined-arms battalion units for fun. Done 58 of them in the last 7 years or so.
There is a Grand Plan - initially one unit per major IS house, Periphery state, C*/WOB (inc RoTS ;) ), favoured Clans (Smoke Jaguars and Jade Falcons), and "other Clans" per major era. This plan is well in progress.
I recently did a battalion for the St Ives Lancers in the SIC era, and followed up with forces of the Tikonov Free Republic. Which connected in my mind with the FRR unit I did many years ago. Here's a new category - "Failed states!" (okay, add short-lived ;) )
So, moving forward, I need to identify failed/short-lived states who
- existed in a given period
- supported 'Mech, vehicle & infantry forces of at least battalion total size
- preferably have a canon paintscheme.
I'm specifically interested in such states in the Jihad, early & late Republic eras, or the Dark Age - while I've got representatives for the earlier periods, I'm not afraid to have two if I like the sound of it.
These don't have to be nice people. Oh, no (says WoB's Risk & Compliance manager for the APAC region >:D ) But it doesn't hurt either way.
I'll toss out some names - Illyrian Palatinate. Fronc Reaches. Empire of Hall? Don't be limited by these. The main Periphery states are in a different part of the Plan - currently have done Taurian, Marian, and Magistracy forces.
But any & all information, opinion, and discussion on viable unviable states in these periods, or others, most welcome!
Cheers, and thanks in advance.
