Clan Ghost Bear Delta Galaxy Awesome
« on: 23 August 2019, 13:58:35 »
This is my first ever fully painted Battletech mini and I'm quite happy with how it turned out.  I'm just starting to get into Battletech and painting a mech is very different from painting other types of minis so this was a fun little adventure.

Awesome job, the highlights are great and the base is superb.

Wow, great job! That would be an excellent mini for an Operation KLONDIKE game.

Joining the consensus - great piece! And an inspiration, have decided to build a GB Delta trinary with my KS minis.

What other sorts of minis have you done before?
* No, FASA wasn't big on errata - ColBosch
* The Housebook series is from the 80's and is the foundation of Btech, the 80's heart wrapped in heavy metal that beats to this day - Sigma
* To sum it up: FASAnomics: By Cthulhu, for Cthulhu - Moonsword
* Because Battletech is a conspiracy by Habsburg & Bourbon pretenders - MadCapellan
* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky
* It was a glorious time for people who felt that we didn't have enough Marauder variants - HABeas2, re "Empires Aflame"

I've primarily done 40k minis because that's my main hobby.  I learned very quickly that they are two very different beasts when it comes to painting.  This was my first ever painted Battletech mini and I'm hoping to do this paint scheme for the minis I'm getting from the kickstarter.

If anybody is interested in doing the lava base themselves, I learned it from the Warhammer TV lava base tutorial and I've been using it on all of my stuff ever since.  Fun fact, the GW crackle paints separate more when thickly clumped than they do thinly clumped, so spread it thicker where you want it to recede more.

I'll have to look into that tutorial. Welcome to BattleTech, please keep painting and posting!
