So, I have spent a decent portion of this last year increasing my Battletech collection thanks to a great FLGS and group. I also have been painting them, having a reason to do so besides just display.
First off is my collection of Clan contraptions.

The latest acquisitions to address the annals of my assault on armored assailants. Partially of low quantity due to the necessity of reserving assets for family.

Continuing the coloring of contraptions with the Clan Command Star.
Colors inverted for these from the Ironwind-sourced models.

I, for one, appreciate your alliteration of awesome artifacts.
Though I feel your Brown and Green Squads are not FASA, but likely CGL-era products (just for pedantic perfidy).

Possibly, but they reminded me of my old 3rd Ed models, and I got them some time ago.

Flocking Four-leggers for a quantity of quads to qommit to qonquest.
Okay, that one was bad. But I've been interested in trying out quads, and I have an odd thing about trying to use models which match the Mechs.

And yes, the Sarath's turret is magnetized to allow it to stay with the Mech in travel. The drilling went okay. Fitting in the magnets went okay. But I had them set up to repelling each other. Managed to get one out and get it glued back in the same way. :facepalm: Obviously got it back out again an properly flipped and they are attracting each other properly again.

Tax Return arriving is such a wonderful time... Also trying an adjustment to paint scheme.
I now have a Heavy Lance.

Centurion, Banshee, Grasshopper, Hatchetman
Did you know that the hands of Warmachine's Heavy Warjacks fit real well with Assault Mechs? In this case, an extra bit from the Mercenary Heavy Warjack, the Rover.

Wasp, Warhammer, Rifleman, Phoenix Hawk

My only gripe is what you did with the Warhammer cockpit. Other than that, it all looks good.

Trying to get in that small space is a challenge. And that's how I usually saw the original. Think of the pilot getting a moon-roof.

Manage to get some more painting done, and for some reason, I missed posting a couple of Stars worth.
Here is the Clan Heavy Battle Star:

Arctic Cheetah, Linebacker, Night Gyr, Black Lanner, and Battle Cobra.

More recently, I completed some more in the colors for our local narrative campaign's unit, the Coromodir Corsairs.
First is a second Mercury II, because stripping the old one would have been a pain:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEX1aPxsVHIHkW0XQJewIf8QsxM2XRBteT8-ui3zgkzTPQY90q0MWRrzBvocf_z76ZyPq3uGmLDYlOzYmluzQZAqv1tJvNL7Zz9uBEP4h33LJ1ejSg8ODdsHaINBxQcObY-hyNKjY47zz-EFWhbV07oL=w805-h450-no?authuser=0)
I then purchased a Support Lance Pack for a Spider, and just decided to paint the rest of the lance in the same colors. The one who came up with the colors wants to secure a Cyclops at some point. And since we're on SW4 Vega at present, we may gain a Dragon at some point.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEXQtfHOCVW214nvKhRYAD1WILPp5qNhgd_ZQyQPr7hbmiXwC5nhlnQgKAfrs34ar-b-fj40v9qUMwcVHK2W7HsChGv5BvjIdqOqhg5CVSQQDiqmfF0tQqMaXiufFha2QoEOOoPRj5564kwtC7uZe8ff=w959-h355-no?authuser=0)
Spider, Cyclops, Thug, and Dragon (or Grand Dragon with the PPC glow...)
And yeah, the white and yellow is a PAIN!

This is an odd one, I finished 2 of these a while back, but just finished the rest of the Star today.
Clan Fire Star
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEXvyesbHdTnMwoIUlohxl7hNKkS1mVM-QnL1ofELfJEleKyv-MW3JbFmWfL_2kyblK9d15oEY0IcvWtXZHTUl19Su6ThaXExUeusZ--K7y2wFiQrpd4J1Z4sqgSKmyGWJ9P7R8ZaG747v19fZFdEfj2=w959-h322-no?authuser=0)
Fire Moth, Cougar, Warhawk, Nova Cat, Kit Fox
I also acquired a couple salvage boxes, so they were painted up a bit differently.

Some Inner Sphere Standard Battle Armor, based on 3/4" Fender Washers. Can't have them on too big a base when they go to kneecap some Clanner scum, after all.

The new pictures are not showing up for me, I just see a Grey circle with a white "-" in it.
Really liking your other work, that axe wielding Banshee is terrifying.

The addresses went wonky and huge for some reason. I tried updating them, and they got a shorter address. Let's see if that works.
Really liking your other work, that axe wielding Banshee is terrifying.
Thank you. I just happened to look through my old Warmachine bits and thought I'd compare. I could have put it on my Atlas, but I had already finished painting that one. It's been an eye catcher and a favorite in my local group.
We have a narrative campaign running and I'm just seriously tempted to see if we can afford a Banshee 3S and modify it to match (already have a customized Record Sheet designed for it).
I also have a big sword and a couple maces from the same kit, so I'm trying to decide what to put it on. Unless I get an assault on a Salvage Box, I don't have a lot of options till the Merc Boxes come out. Basically the only IS boxes I haven't got yet are the Heavy Battle Lance, Fire Lance, and the ComStar Level IIs. Maybe if I ever get the Command Level II, that sword might work for the Black Knight. Of course, it's big enough to be a proper great sword for the Highlander, too... (though that would mean losing the arm cannon, hmmm).

Some new acquisitions have arrived and received their colorings.
First off, a Spider in Brown Pants Legion colors along with a Gorgon-centered Point of Protomechs.

Finally decided on a paint scheme for the several Celestials I've acquired. (They were not easy set up while building.) I also acquired a Vulcan for use in the local narrative campaign. We've been proxying with a Falcon for some time now...

Hunchback IIc, Supernova, Stone Rhino, Marauder IIC, and Warhammer IIC.

For your Battle Armor. If you have the patience, a little sculpy clay applied with a butter knife can remove the little platform look. Then a layer of Cragle and a layer of elmers will seal it well enough.
I personally have inherited my moms dremel and have some grinding heads that I plan on trying to remove the platform and get it closer to the base for those that are going on 'metal' basing.

I don't think I could work a dremel with that much precision any more than I could use cutters. Thanks for the ideas, though!
And after weeks of slowly painting many different layers across 5 different unit packs, two more lances have been completed.
Inner Sphere Fire Lance:

Bushwaker, Nightstar, Cataphract, and Axman.
Now maybe a little rest...
Wait, what do you mean the Merc Kits out? And I have 2 more Clan Stars to get along with 2 Level IIs? AAAAAAH!! :D

So, with tax return in hand, it was time to invest in Aerospace assets, as they seem to be a growing local presence.
For Inner Sphere, I chose Corsairs, because FedSuns and Corsairs are cool.

And last unit painted is the result of a tragedy. A local man passed away and his son did not play, nor want to play. The son sold off his collection and I was given this old plastic Ironfoot Thunderbolt by the purchaser.

So the most odd coordination of Clan contraptions to contest combat conclusions.
Clan Ad Hoc Star

Fire Falcon, Pack Hunter, Kodiak, Hellion, Baboon.
It would be interesting to see how such a Star would operate on the field. It might work better with our local normal objectives than the normal kill team construction, as we normally have a deployment zone objective borrowed from the old BattleClix tournament scene, but it might not. There are some Kodiak fans locally (understandably, as it is a great Mech).

Some additions from the ComStar organizations, done up in the colors of my Celestials, but not exactly in the same locations.
Battle Level II

Mercury, Black Knight, King Crab, Highlander, Exterminator, and Sentinel
This was probably the most difficult scheme I've done. It took the longest, and I had to back over so many mistakes. The Black Knight was the first done, mostly because I wanted it to look like a knight, and then template it out to the rest of the Level IIs. No, I don't plan on going back over my Celestials with this style.
Still, there are some fun things that came from it. The Highlander NEEDED a claymore, of which I had one in left over bits from a Warmachine Nomad model that was built as a Rover.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AIL4fc9_Jv93uZ723dzfpaApxDI4SVP0pDhiHl_4DYEHV5jdrPI_VUSv2cWrhPffXrDh4ZUXRbtJenu-UeLz-1uiZG7W4zVuR5kU_ft84oAYZPWIYEV3hzSQEekmuTsoVg_DoLauX1r-obQcQKDGugbduIEQ=w359-h450-s-no?authuser=0)
It was a bit interesting in converting it from a Right Hander to a Left Hander. I basically had to cut the sword and pommel off the right hand it is molded with, and then pin both sides through the Highlander's arm.
Such a pain to store with it swinging out so far. Still, a crowd pleaser when it shows (so long as they aren't facing it).
-
I really like the Nomad’s sword on the Highlander! It’s very fitting for the mini. Storing/transporting it is a pain! I had to create custom cases for my Warmahordes minis because of how large they are and how many of the swords/spears/tails/etc. stick out from the bases.
-
For a moment, I thought that sword was a stylized Mech-sized Guitar.

I thought so. I've been wondering what Mech to put it on ever since I did the Banshee with a Rover's Axe. The Highlander with a Claymore just makes too much sense. I'm really glad with how well it turned out.
For a moment, I thought that sword was a stylized Mech-sized Guitar.
Well, it's big enough to be used as an Axe...

I finally finished the Proliferation Force Pack. All these ancient relics are now ready for proper gameplay. Also in the mix is a Neanderthal which is the last purchase I was able to make from the FLGS before it closed.

You managed to make a Mackie look GOOD! :D

Thanks!
That bulbous cockpit really helps it pop out like the Battlemaster. It really has that classic '50s robot style, too.
-
I especially love the Battleaxe. It's been one of my favorites since Brent let me take a stab at the illustration for Primitives Vol. II. I'll echo; the Mackie is just a cool beefy retro design that drips of BattleTech nostalgia.
-
Yeah. The sculpt for the Mackie already is a vast improvement over the older model. Might have something to do with the legs and the placement of the lasers... :tongue:
-
It's an improvement over some of the original ART for the thing! :D

Back again with some more painted reinforcements. This time of a combined arms variety.
First, the Gray Death Heavy Battle Lance. Mostly done in Brown Pants Legion, despite being half Clan, because they are a Inner Sphere unit. I used my "2nd unit" marking as the tertiary color and for some reason it reminds me of a football team... Shadow Hawk done in Fetid Claws colors, because its an extra and why not. Plume left off for storage and transport reasons.

Shadow Hawk, Regent, Gargoyle C, Catapult K2
Next up is a pair of APCs that have me thinking of an old meme song for some reason. Turret and weapon selections are meant to represent the Prime version of both Inner Sphere and Clan variants. The chaotic colors are also set up to recognize the source of these transports.

Bandit, Bandit, Badger, Badger (mushroom!)
Last painted up are some reinforcements of a more crazed kind, Battle Armor. A combination of Elementals and Gray Death Standard suits, bringing my BA collection up to 12.

First, the Clan Striker Lance, the last of the Clan Invasion Era ForcePacks that aren't force-aligned that I got.

Vixen, Horned Owl, Vapor Eagle, Conjurer, Piranha
And because I'm starting a campaign, I need some Conventional Infantry. All mounted on 3/4" steel discs for ease of placement.

Front 2 rows are Foot Infantry. Next row back are Track Bikes for Motorized Infantry. Last 2 rows are Mechanized Infantry with the small APCs and a Foot Infantry. Orange base are Tracked, Green base is Wheeled, and Blue base are Hover.

Wyvern IIC, Linebacker, and Cougar
Whew, that's a lot over the last month. Now, when will I get the 46 models coming in from the Kickstarter? And when will I be able to get any done?

Love that infantry! :)

They were a bit of a pain in the butt to paint, being so tiny. I think I went a little overboard with the grass on the Foot Infantry. I probably should have used tweezers instead of my thick fingers.

A local friend was giving away Forcepacks he had received doubles of and gave them to me. I have now finished painting them up.
First the UrbanMech Forcepack. I'm not a fan of UrbanMechs. I would never buy this of myself. The only reason I accepted them is because I'm running a monthly campaign, and they make for good cheap mooks for the players to demolish. I painted them up as a combination of regular schemes I paint so they can be quickly identified as mine as well as so I know which one they are shooting.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczMFjFvSb4Mm06fL6Ze9OOYmHlEroW-Tu9TPafPGQvf0RSZJNnvZdq9NY0pCVJ5MMRELrb8dza-niKkqRFZPzWhZVP003a7Rz-pDWlheAvnZCzUbMO8G6quMnowLBurKbpCWt0cfZ8fx4GN-vIud2bSa=w966-h393-s-no-gm?authuser=0)
AC/10 in Coromodir Corsair, AC/20 in Brown Pants Legion, MRM in Fetid Claws, SRM in Clan Denim Pants.
I also received Snord's Irregulars. Let's face it, the only right way to paint Snord's Rifleman is to paint it wrongly. So I combined pretty much every scheme I use, separating each part in to a different scheme. Used the Phoenix Hawk head because it offered more opportunities for paint and just looks better, imo. The Highlander is a goofy one, so I included it in the paint scheme, too. The Spartan I just felt "needed" to be in the same color scheme. I could have painted them up more differently so each section was even more different, but even doing this much was straining my painting time and focus. I felt the Guillotine needed to be Brown Pants Legion, so went there with that one. I kind of actually adds to the chaos by having a "normal" scheme with them.
CT, RT, waist, and Left Leg are in Brown Pants Legion. Right Leg is in Coromodir Corsairs. LT and Left Arm are in Fetid Claws. Right Arm is in Clan Purple Pants. Head is in Clan Denim Pants.

Jumping Guillotine model, Spartan, Highlander (Heavy Gauss), and Snord's Rifleman.
I did finish one other model in that time, but I want to post him with a group. With a Zeus X and Raptor on the way, I'll wait till they are done to post.

Nightsky, Jumping Crusader, Griffin, and Wolfhound.
Colors are mixed up per lance due to there being so many secondary acquisitions with the Merc Lance Forcepacks. The Brown Pants Legion units are those who are my first purchase (such as Sagittaire or Nightsky), or had been painted up in other colors already (Cyclops and Highlander). The ones done up in Coromodier Corsair colors (yellow center with black sides and white limbs) are units I have pilots running in our local bi-weekly campaign. Those who are in neither camp are done up in my own "Fetid Claws" scheme which I like to consider my ersatz Wobbie scheme.

So, running a campaign for Operation Revival, I needed to have some more Combat Vehicles, particularly I wanted some lighter tanks to support my Pattons.
So I grabbed 2 pairs of Goblins. As I prepared the list for the latest scenario, I noted that the Goblins had an LRM version. With the Rocket Launchers I didn't use from the latest Goliath, I decided to make a pair of Goblins (LRM).
The full set:

I could definitely use a smaller model saw, and some green stuff, but it does work out in looking like a ramshackle field modification.
