This fortnight, we look at the next two heavy 'Mechs of the Star League first seen in Technical Readout: 2750, the Champion and the Exterminator.  My recollection is neither 'Mech was particularly favored, but they did see a bit of a renaissance after the Unseen debacle, when downgraded versions were included in Technical Readout: 3025 Revisited.  I don't have much else to say about either 'Mech - and apparently no one else has much to say about the Champion since there isn't a 'Mech of the Week article for it.  The Exterminator, however, does have a 'Mech of the Week article.

Like most 'Mechs from TRO: 2750, the Champion and Exterminator only have one metal sculpt each:The Exterminator, however, comes in two other forms: a special edition transparent resin figure (CE-008) from Iron Wind Metals and a plastic sculpt from CGL in the ComStar Command Level II Pack from the Clan Invasion kickstarter.

If you have any of these minis painted, please share pictures.  We'd love to see them!  And, as always, thank you for reading.

Our next two fortnights will be:
  • 10/25: Commando IIC and Orion IIC
  • 11/8: Black Knight and Flashman

One of each...
The Exterminator is the basic pewter model painted in a simple Starleague olive green drab. Nothing special about it.

The Champion has been painted as part of WoB's 50. Shadow Division.
Minimalistic modifications such as drilled out laser ports and such things.

I like to add my Exterminator with activated Null Sig System and Chameleon Light Polarization Shield.

Here's a ComStar Champion and Exterminator, a mercenary Exterminator, and a resin Exterminator.

Apparently I had a proto Bad Dream painted lance that included an Executioner and another modded to the Royal specs.

Champions 1N, 1Nb and a 3N.

The 3N was modified with new legs and wings for aesthetic purposes.
