Ramona could not decide if she would challenge the personnel officer to a trial of grievance or present them with a bottle of whiskey for their creativity in assigning the warriors to her Star..  As she sat in the ancient Terran music appreciation course at the local college - part of her Khan's effort to help culturally integrate the Clan Warriors with those they defended in the now Raven Alliance - she admired the creativity in how her Star was constructed around her Vapor Eagle.  MechWarrior Jonga provided surveillance and overwatch in his Glass Spider, Thomasina provided a steady beat of fire with her Howler-mounted LRM, Douglas provided a rhythmic cycling with the PPCs of his Pouncer, and Joseph was usually out front attracting attention or delivering the attached point of Elementals - Chulumanco (Joy in Xhosa) aka CJ, Markie, Richard, Elvis, and Montesa. If this had been done to a lesser warrior, they would likely have desired sedation.

Really happy with how the Vapor Eagle and Glass Spider turned out.  The Glass Spider is a modified IWM RFL-X3 MUSE WIND.

I had already started on my CSR Gamma Galaxy mechs when I got the Alpha Strike set and found this. Of course I had to recreate the Pouncer in mini form:

Looking great - walk us through the paintscheme, please!
* 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"

Thanks WT!  The base white is from Duncan Rhodes' stormtrooper guide - Citadel Grey Seer primer, Contrast Apothecary White, and Army Painter Matt White on the panels. The red is Vallejo Game Color Bloody Red. (I like this a lot better than the Blood Angels Red contrast I used on my earlier CSR Gammas.)  The canopy is a base of Vallejo Model Metallic Air Black, then Gold, and thinned Model Color Transparent Red.  Citadel Nuln Oil wash on the Model Metallic Air Gun Metal and Vallejo Mecha Light Grey Wash for the panel lining and undersides.
