Battletech scout lance
« on: September 30, 2020, 06:11:37 PM »
I've always loved the idea of giant robots fighting it out in the remains of a destroyed city.  I never got into the original Battletech game, it seemed to complicated for me.  Plus some of the old figures did not appeal to me; however, after seeing some of the recent video games my interest was brought back "online".  I was perusing e-bay when I saw a seller posting a large collection of plastic click figures for Battletech Dark Age.  I know these are not the same design as the current figures but they work for me.  I plan on painting up two major factions with a few mercenary companies thrown in.  These will be loosely based on the Battletech universe.  One faction with be green with tan, the other probably grey with different colors to denote units, and the mercenaries/pirates to be multi-colored.  I'm thinking of using Fist Full of Lead to have these giants duke it out.  Here is the first unit, the 7th "to be decided later" light lance. 

First up is a Valiant


Next is a Phoenix Hawk I


A Mjolnir


A large Wasp. I know it is too large.  I like to think that this model is larger and faster but with less armor.


And finally a group shot

Looks pretty! 

I am with you.  In theory, I like Battletech but the actual rules leave me cold. 

I used the minis from the old (2007-ish?) 50th Anniversary Starter Set for a few alternate Mecha games, before landing on mostly using a generic Sci-Fi game instead (Rampant Stars if you are curious).

I have had many great games with those models since.

Thank you for the compliments.  I had a blast painting them.  Really liked how the canopies came out.
