Today we are going old school again with an old Ral Partha Rifleman miniature #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

got my pride mech to an approximation of finished! decided to use my large Timber Wolf from the kickstarter, and went with the recently created Butch flag (butchboudoir.com/blogs/news/b...) as the scheme. #Battletech #miniaturepainting #butch #PrideMechParade

Happy Pride everyone! Check out this week's full Hobby Hangout on our Instagram! www.instagram.com/ca... Enjoy the community's Pride-themed submissions! #battletech #PrideMechParade #miniatures #mechwarrior #tabletop #wargame #scifi #fan #art

#miniaturepainting my #PrideMechParade, repping my #asexual #ace friends with M'khand's UM-R90 urbanmech from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech. Tried some more fades. Because I'm playing with patterns I guess we're also repping my wife's #demisexual flag with the same palette.

So I had to produce a reason the PPC (Pink Pony Club) has so much glitter on their bases and realized of course that it's because they were guarding a glitter mine. Need someway to haul it so made these glitter trucks. #battletech #iseverythingalrightathome #mechwarrior #PrideMechParade

#miniaturepainting more #PrideMechParade, colours of the #nonbinary flag on M'khand's UM-AIV urbanmech from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech. More fades, plus some fun hazard stripes (and a battle-damaged missile cover 'cause I dropped it). Slightly more orange than I wanted, alas.

Continuing my #PrideMechParade with M'khand's UM-R80 urbanmech for #miniaturepainting of @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech. #trans rights or the snub PPC enables trans wrongs, I always say. The muzzle glows/lens colours were a complete but happy accident.

Keep up the momentum! Put all your old and new pride mechs on display! Happy Pride, everyone! #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

More one black knight to my count. @battletechcom.bsky.social @battletech.bsky.social

Continued #PrideMechParade with M'khand's UM-R70 urbanmech for #miniaturepainting @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech. The #intersex flag is one of the less simple pride flags (being anything other than horizontal lines), so I thought it deserved some freehand. Circles are hard.

Today, we have a Clan Nova Cat Wendigo, or as I like to call it, a Stalking Cat. I am not very enthusiastic about the name Wendigo given that it is part of Native American lore, and having been a park ranger, I have a great deal of respect for them. #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Part 1 of my Pink Pony Club mechs I'm bringing to the #alphastrike tournament in Maryland this weekend. They go with the light up dance floor display board I posted earlier. They are bright pink and glow under UV light. I used glitter for the bases. #pridemechparade #battletech #mechwarrior.

I have to say it’s a pleasure to get to work with @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social on BattleTech and Shadowrun. They’re working hard to build inclusive, incredible gaming spaces and communities.

Been reminded that my Battletech Pride art is still being scraped & sold by vendor bots, and I'm tired of logging take down requests So if you want some queer as fuck Battletech art for you to print for yourself (not resale) there's a big free pack here I also draw custom pride mechs on request 🏳️‍🌈

Rifleman, Longbow (in pride colors as is right and proper), and Marauder 2 (in Titans colors as I continue my Zeta rewatch). Long live Battletech painting on Sunday night.

I get to field my Pride themed Nightstar in a 6000 BV #Battletech game next weekend. Going with: Thunderbolt TDR-5SS (4/4) Wolfhound WLF-1 (4/5) Marauder MAD-3R (3/5) Nightstar NSR-FC (4/5) Might make some minor adjustments here and there but should be all set. Is it next weekend yet?

Space furries say trans rights. Also trans wrongs because most of them are huge assholes. #battletech #pride

A talk about BattleTech, Inclusion, and Pride youtu.be/LXKawXSfBEU

Its pride month!! Heres some of queer battletech stuff Ive done! #Battletech

Almost done painting a couple clan stars. Gay ass purple/turquoise color scheme with pride flags on a few mechs. #battletech #pride #miniatures #wargaming

I missed yesterday, so today is a double feature!!! First up, a knights tale, and then Jaws!!!! #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Back on #PrideMechParade again, this time it's a lesbian pride themed King Crab, because carcinization comes for us all, even the gays 🦀 Ayyy, finally doing a Me pride flag! Big big fan of the lesbian pride flag and IMHO is one of the best looking ones, can't get enough of that sunset gradient!

More #PrideMechParade using M'khand's UM-R27 urbanmech for #miniaturepainting @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech. This one goes out to my #gay male bros and their willingness to keep the kink in pride that discourages fashy intrusion. Mixed way too strong a wash on this. :T

Well, I missed the 11th, but it is a new day, and on this new day, I'm presenting a double feature, the first, a plastic Black Hawk from the Citytech box set, and the second, a Black Hawk H from Ironwind Metals #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Got another entry for the #PrideMechParade today, this time it's a Black Python mecha, decked out in the minty fresh colours of the MLM pride flag! Really love how the greens came out on this one, plus the blues gave us a visual answer to "how would a mech look in a pair of jeans?"

Yet more glorious #PrideMechParade with M'khand's UM-R68 urbanmech for #miniaturepainting @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech. This one reps the #lesbian folks that have historically done so much for the rest of us. Bonus (mediocre) freehand of the 1999 Labrys symbol on the missile cover.

It's Friday the thirteenth!!!! oooh, spooky!!!! While I dont have a Jason or Freddy type pride Mech, I do have something that is wielding a hatchet, an old Unicorn Company 2N Axman from Ironwind Metals #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

HELLO! Bi-Flag Mackie is here to join the #PrideMechParade #Battletech #MiniPainting #PrideIsAProtest @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

I'm joining the #PrideMechParade! Behold!! GAY NORTON and JUSTINE ALLARD! Honestly do love how they came out.

More #PrideMechParade using M'khand's UM-R60L urbanmech for #miniaturepainting @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech. Ignoring as usual the flag pattern for repping my #pansexual wife, because I'm aiming for pattern variety not found in pride. Mediocre pan freehand after only 7 attempts.

Things might be hotting up now it's June, but this Bi Pride themed Vapor Hawk is keeping chill on patrol in this arctic forest for #PrideMechParade! Might have to see about getting one or two other mechs done before the month is over, I love how this one turned out! @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Finally got my lightbox setup together – time for some #PrideMechParade glamour shots! This'll be a thread for individual minis but we're starting off strong with a group shot of my first batch! @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Happy Pride! I had a great time painting my Atlas II for this Pride project. I wanted to use Pride flags that had meaning to me and the new Butch Empowerment flag (by Gabby Cohen for the Butch Empowerment Project) was exactly what I was looking for! #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

I've been working on a display board for an #alphastrike tournament. Friends voted on the theme and it's Hell's Horses - Pink Pony Club. So a bunch of design work, 3dprinting, and some electronics work and we have a nice light up dance floor for the horsies. #PrideMechParade #battletech

June 9th, almost missed it wit today being a busy day!! Today we have an old school 3rd edition Box Set Thunderbolt!! #PrideMechParade @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

The Urbanmech LAM Airmech painted up in the genderfluid colors for #PrideMechParade! I'm not fluid myself but I thought it would be on theme for a transforming land air mech. @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social #Battletech #Miniatures #Genderfluid #Pride
