Check out Charrette's hand-painted camouflage scheme. Amazing! And I love how he handled the Assassin's cockpit, one of his own sculpts.
Robert N. Charrette sculpted many of the most iconic BattleMechs for Ral Partha, including all eight of the original Battledroids. These miniatures were painted by Charrette over 30 years ago with acrylics and a Dullcote finish. I love the assault-class sized Locust and the paint job on that thing! Must be Lori Kalmar's ;)
The original blue blister Ral Partha Banshee, sculpted by Charrette, included an additional sprue to covert the -3E version presented in TRO: 3025, to the much more heavily armed -3S version featured below. All miniatures in this lance are early Ral Partha castings sculpted and hand-painted by Charrette. A close look reveals the left arm PPC assembly from the sprue matches exactly that found on the Warhammer miniature.
Apollo's Law- if it needs Clan tech to make it useable, It doesn't deserve those resources in the first place.
Sure it isn't the most practical 'mech ever designed, but it's a hundred ton axe-murderer. If loving that is wrong I don't wanna be right.
These are even more delightful in person; just arrived via EBay! It's a very nicely composed Striker Lance that will serve as the mercenary Charette's Commandos to back up my Alpha Strike Battalions.: 3
