Beta Galaxy was my benchmark for choosing a shade of blue.  I like their scheme a lot, but my painting time is more limited than I expected.  I can see myself doing the blue base now and adding the washes and gunmetal bits and a really basic cockpit jeweling and then maybe revisiting them in the future once I've finished painting everything else to add the cool ice pattern.

See? even Jellico lists "Ursus Battlemechs" and "Killers" as two separate categories.   :P

Just put Ursus over the top in the poll.  Not a hard choice given the competition.
"Ah, yes.  The belle dame sans merci.  The sweet young thing who will blast your nuts off.  The kitten with a whip.  That mystique?"
"Slavish adherence to formal ritual is a sign that one has nothing better to think about."
"Variety is the spice of battle."
"I've fought in... what... a hundred battles, a thousand battles?  It could be a million as far as I know.  I've fought for anybody who offered a decent contract and a couple who didn't.  And the universe is not much different after all that.  I could go on fighting for another hundred years and it would still look the same."

there are only two 'Mechs I have doubles of, the Summoner and the Stormcrow, and only because I have an old and new sculpt for each...do I want to get a second Ursus? hmmm

But that's the worst ursus! It doesn't fit a C3i system AT ALL. It has no role that actually benefits from linking to other units so far as I can tell. It pales next to the Beowulf PR for being the point man, it lacks the ranged guns to back up the pointman at range, and it lacks the punch to serve as a deterrent in close. Best thing I can think of, is that someone wastes their time shooting at it, and doesn't shoot at a more promising target.

That'd be a good job the Ursus 3, or whatever the number is that swaps the C3i for Watchdog. the PR just wastes tonnage with the suite if that's all you're doing with it.

Thanks for asking.  The eldest cub is engaged to a future doctor and starting work on his Masters in Communications and teaching two classes.  The youngest is in his third year of college working towards his Vet degree.  Since getting out of the daily grind of BT I've restarted my model train set and instead of building Mechs, I'm working on building wood model ships.

Makes you feel old?  Imagine how I feel.  LOL  I'm three sails away from finishing the Rattlesnake and will be starting the Niagara right after that.  Actually I've started a little work on the Niagara keel.  They are really testing my mode making skills as I am used to plastic for the most part.  I will admit there are a lot more ropes on a ship than I ever imagined.

What is your personal soundtrack for CGB / RD?

I'm thinking of Wardruna, who got featured in Vikings. Especially Rasalhague Galaxy gives that vibe to me.
