4th Davion Guards--more light mechs in the fold!
« on: 12 December 2024, 16:02:14 »
Hello all!

First Mercs KS mechs added to my formations.  Here are five light mechs to craft Striker/Recon lances and the like.  Just more options for my growing battalion!



Javelin



Firestarter



Ostscout



Spector



Special shout out to God and Davion, who helped me with where to place the striping on the Javelins.  Thanks for the ideas!

Cheers all!

Outstanding!

I love the "DARK" blue used w/ the "OLD" Davion Guards scheme.

A lot of the time I see the original scheme in a lighter blue.

I'm a fan of the Clan/CivilWar era version myself but this one really POPS for me.

Amazing work. Good to see the DBoG colours on something other than assault 'mechs.
But as a matter of fact I was quite busy getting potty-trained at the time and had no time for interstellar politics.- ykonoclast

Great looking unit, MarauderD!

So tell me - what's the grand plan for the Battalion? Including some vees and battle armour, hopefully?
* 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"

Yes sir.  I do think that the vees (hover and BA Support) might have a completely different paint scheme--alpine/forest generic camo.  I don't really care for the IS gorilla suit mini, so I'm hoping CGL follows up on their plans to release the Grenadier/Kanazuchi in plastic later this year.  Thinking 2 squads of Grenadiers and maybe 2 squads of Cavaliers would do it.  I'd be sorely tempted by a plastic Infiltrator Mk 2 mini, but I haven't heard of any plans to release that unit. 

Long story short, Mechs are still what motivates me to paint, but all those Vees in my pile of shame will definitely make it to the paint table at some point.

Looking solid, Marauder D.  Great placement of stripes, and strong agree with your choice of blue - very nice.
