Two Augumented Lances, 5th McCarron's Armoured Cavalry (Big Mac), Late Republic
« on: 11 March 2024, 02:22:35 »
So I just finished painting up 52 5th Big Mac minis. Only one problem - the unit needs 58! Six minis outstanding for delivery with the Mercs KS - four Maxims, an Ostroc, and an Assassin. So the full augumented battalion will have to wait a little.

In the meantime, here's some samples:



The Command Lance - Emperor EMP-6L (subbing in a lightly modified Primitive Emperor, because it just rocks!), Marauder MAD-6L, Archer ARC-7L, Crusader CRD-7L, and two Morningstars. The 'Mechs are all Stealth-equipped; the Morningstars provide that critical MHQ level for Battlefield Intelligence, plus can presumably transport platoons of staff, engineers, entertainers, or Disciplinary Tax Agents as needed.



1st Company 1st Lance is a Battle Lance, led by a dual Gauss Cyclops CPC-11-B, Lightning LHN-C5, Lao Hu LHU-3L (why yes, the RAC does resemble one off an Archangel - purely coincidental, I assure you!), and a Warhammer WHM-4L.

And in the meantime, the body of the Battalion is packed away awaiting its reinforcements, to bring them up to full complement:

Nice! :smilie_party_cheers:

How and where do you store all the minis you work on?  You're a machine cranking these out.

I like the color scheme.  Good work.

I have a Brian Cache in the secure and geologically stable strata of my basement in the oldest continent. Not many Aussie houses have basements, but we're on the side of a hill, and I got the area behind the garage dug out.  Will get some current pics on the weekend.

(The secret is, bookshelves, with extra shelves added between the fixed shelves)

I love seeing your large matching units. This is great MAC lineup! Really liking what you did with the 11B Cyclops. Could you get another pic of that from the other side?

Definitely need to get back to my MAC units.

How and where do you store all the minis you work on? 

Okay, here's the main Melbourne Brian Cache northern annex, assembly/maintenance area, and HPG complex



Western annex, plus storage for paints & WIP



Western storage complex:



The new Southern Cache expansions:



Need to get some extra shelves into the thin bookcase on the right, and look at moving my sourcebooks/TROs from the blue shelving so I'll have room for the KS minis when painted.

Great work on those Mac mechs, love the colours.

And Melbourne's Brian Cache is truly impressive.
