This Mad Cat Mk IV is piloted by the leader of Magyari's Ireregulars, a (fanon) mercenary unit. The pilot goes by the nickname if "Invisible Space Fairy." It's best if you don't ask why.

Two more from the same unit as the Invisible Space Fairy above.



The Scarabus of mercenary pilot Bruce Wolf, a former Steel Wolf warrior and bartender (He studied Clan Lore while also doing his Responsible Service of Alcohol course) The 'Mech is nicknamed "Drop Bear" from the time he killed an Ursus with it's hatchet. The Irregulars' rules allow one arm of the 'Mech to be painted in a colour of the pilot's choice, hence the brown patch.



This Vulture Mk IV is piloted by mercenary MechWarrior Lee Zhen, a man who gets rather touchy about answering questions. So don't ask any.

Not only is it a Uziel, but it's been modified to be a UZL-8S by the awesome Martian!

Another member of the Irregulars, this 'Mech is piloted by former journalist turned MechWarrior Randy R. Georges. Giving up a life of trashy tabloid holovid current affairs, he found that getting paid to shoot people was a lot more tasteful.

Liking the sound of these Irregulars - can you tell us a little more about them? Maybe in the non-canon forum?

Trust me, it's on the to-do list. They're going to be the basis for an AToW game that I'm likely to be running Soon (TM).

Lieutenant Will "Boof" Owens is the sort who thinks that just because you're piloting a light 'Mech doesn't mean that you need to stay out of the fighting. The result is that his Havoc tends to be in the thick of things, jumping around like a maniac.

Suffice to say, it made my to-do list based on that description alone!

Two more today, both from the ongoing game.



Another one of the Irregulars' BattleMechs, this Akuma is piloted by Assault Lance commander Takahashi Oda. As can be seen by the modifications to the paint scheme, he's very subtle and discrete about his background.



This image represents the 'Mech of Mao Xinyang, the commander of Mao's Rifles. It is painted in the unit's parade colours; dull green with red and yellow trim.

Not technically a member of the Irregulars, Nikola Kardos is an ally of the unit (and a distant relatvie of the Magyari family) who acts as a scout, investigator and troubleshooter. On occasion that he does need to take to the field, he uses a Carronade to support the unit.

Belonging to the Mercenary unit Isling's Incinerators, this Firestarter shows off the unit's distinctive, flame-inspired colour scheme. Often the Incinerators will use this scheme in the field to intimidate their opponents by giving them an indication of what they have in store.

Thanks! The idea of a "fire-looking Firestarter" seemed obvious in retrospect.

Just one tentative idea: Could you paint actual flames on legs and/or lower torso?

- it's a Hero 'Mech (customized BattleMech with non-standard hardpoints and special camo scheme)

I just wanted to illustrate what "flames" I had in mind.   :-[

Do you take requests? Because I have this idea for a classic Timber Wolf that I'd like for my avatar.

D configuration, done up in plain gray, with rust red streaks running down from various panel lines, to give it that "junkyard salvage" look.

Note: It wasn't really pulled from a junkyard. It's actually in perfect condition, it's just painted to suggest that mental image.

This Thunderbolt, nicknamed "Free Thud" is driven by a periphery pirate who claims that he won the 'Mech in a contest.
