One of my friends is trying to get back into painting and has offered to paint a star of Jade Falcon mechs for me as a way to get into practice.  He wants to paint up a Heirofalcon and a Jade Phoenix, both of which I have several minis of, but I'm wondering what other mechs to put in.  Was thinking of a Loki II.  He's intending it to be Jiyi's Falcons even though they don't have access to the Jade Phoenix or Heirofalcon.

Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

Replace one of the above with a Night Gyr if you feel the need to.

Definitely a Turkina to go with those two. I’d recommend a second Heirofalcon and the Hel to fill out the Star.

More Clan Stars should average medium or low end heavy weight.  The Star obesity epidemic has plagued Clan forces for over 30 years.  Enough is enough.

Jade Phoenix
Heirofalcon


If you’re looking for existing plastic
Fire Falcon
Black Lanner
Summoner

That gives you one of each weight class, and two mediums.

Since it’s a “training” star for you, this probably doesn’t matter much.  But I’d stay away from slower designs like the Turkina and Hel.  They’ll have a hard time keeping up with the Jade Phoenix and Heirofalcon, especially in difficult terrain.  I think 4/6/4 movement is the minimum for this star.  Black Lanner, Flamberge, Night Gyr, Grand Summoner, and Summoner would be my Falcon omni preferences for this star.  Nothing wrong with older Clan omnis like a Timber Wolf, Mad Dog, Stormcrow, or Nova.  Or the newer Mad Cat IV or Vulture IV sold by the Foxes.

If you don’t care about keeping the star all omnis, there’s the Jade Hawk, Gyrfalcon, and the like.  If you are watching BV, there are smaller Falcon omnis like the Cougar, Uller, and Ion Sparrow, but they’re fragile.

FWIW…
