Heavy recon lance done. Keeping the Merlin for demonstrations. @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social #painting #battletech #alphastrike #miniaturepainting

Trying something different re basing the Marik mechs. Thoughts? #painting #battletech #alphastrike #miniaturepainting

Second building done. I got to find some signs for these things. What do you suppose this building is any way? #painting #battletech #gf9 @galeforcenine.bsky.social

Heavy recon is coming along. I think I’ll leave the Merlin unpainted for now. Use it for demonstration. Charger as Kurita and the Assasin & Ostroc as Marik. #painting #battletech #alphastrike #wargaming #miniature

So what are your thoughts for using something like this for BT campaign map? #battletech #wargaming www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

Well the Charger is done. I had more weathering powder on his legs but the clear coat blew most of it off. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well. Chipping worked out well. #painting #miniaturepainting #battletech #alphastrike #wargaming

I think that worked. I’ll use some weathering powder tomorrow and then start into the base. #painting #miniaturepainting #battletech

Some one was feeling blue on twitter, so I made this to cheer them up:

Assassin and Ostroc done. Charger in production. Still have to decide what to do with the Merlin. 🤔#painting #Battletech #Alphastrike #alphastrikegame

So I picked up the Inner Sphere Heavy Recon Lance. Charger, Ostroc, Assassin and Merlin...wait. WTF is a Merlin? *look up up on Serna* Hum. limited help there. 60 ton Periphery mech? I think??? www.sarna.net/wiki/Merlin_... #battletech #alphastrike #alphastrikegame

Well finished these four. Clear coat and everything. #battletech #Alphastrike #alphastrikegame #painting

Not super familiar with the STN-3L Sentinel but it’s painting up well. At first I was going to paint it up as SLDF but then found it in the DCMS’s org chart, so I painted it up Kuritian instead. #battletech #Alphastrike #alphastrikegame

Decals came in. Go purple bird! Have to do a hard coat yet but progress. 🙂 #battletech #Alphastrike #alphastrikegame @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

And the additions to my small but growing AFFS force. #Battletech #Alphastrikegame #Alphastrike #painting @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Additions to the DCMS this weekend. Honour the Dragon! #Battletech #Alphastrikegame #Alphastrike #painting @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Mechs don’t have blood. But they do have coolant and other fluids. #Battletech #Painting #alphastrikegame #Alphastrike

*chef's kiss* #StarWars #TheDarkCrystal Art by Max Michaels

I think that came off well. 🙂 #Battletech #Painting #alphastrikegame #Alphastrike

Make two quick videos seems faster than a dozen or so pictures. Looking for feedback on the destroyed mechs. Thinking of another black wash. 🤔 #Battletech #Painting #alphastrikegame #Alphastrike

So far so good. Have to get some emerald green. #Battletech #Painting #Alphastrike

Also other stuff I worked on last night. #Battletech #painting #Alphastrike

So question for the masses. There are defeat mechs at the feet of these two. I think one is a Hunchback 2C and the other is a Mad Dog. I was thinking painting them up Jade Falcon but not set on it. Thoughts? #Battletech #Painting #Alphastrike

Battle from a little while ago. AFFS vs DCMS. Werble (the app I used to make this) needs a missile effect. 😁 #Battletech #Alphastrike #Wargaming #Werble

Something different tonight. Some AFFS mech. I want in the mood to go full camo on them so I’m just going with a Davion green. #painting #Battletech #Alphastrike.

Some relaxing work this weekend: Battletech miniatures for the Alpha Strike game! Painted House Davion Green for the 3rd Ceti Hussars RCT #battletech #alphastrike #chillweekend #tabletopwargame

Finally finished some Battletech tanks. I made them a neutral tan vs DCMS or other house colours. Came out rather well I think. #battletech #alphastrike #painting #minaturepainting @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Tank, tank, tank… Demolishers, Shrecks, Condors and Pegasus I’m doing them up in a more generic tan vs a DCMS red or the like. That way I can use them for any force. #Battletech #Alphastrike #Painting

He’s coming along. More work to do on the base and need decals. Go purple bird! #painting #battletech #alphastrike #Wargaming

Brothers are wanting to play 450pts for #alphastrike. First attempt for a 7th Sword of Light unit based on the Kurita Force Manual and the miniatures I have avalible. 7th is supposed to be a Med/Vet force. This is a little heavy. Comes out to 449pts. #battletech #wargaming

Trying a new product today. Oil based which was a trifle disconcerting but actually really easy to use. Slap it on with the applicator and then manipulate with a brush before using white spirit to streak and remove excess. I think it has a long drying time but I’m in meetings today, so that’s fine.

It's Monday. Post Tanks. Fallex 77, 4 CMBG Leopard tanks moving down a country lane in Germany, September 1977. 🇨🇦 LAC Photo
