The elementals are nice.  They look good in the simple scheme.

I play alpha strike with my son, and occasionally my gaming group.  It's worth a look if you can find someone to play with.

The lances/stars look great!  8)

And is it me, or is your painting also improving with each group?  :)

Your Clan Wolf scheme is exactly the reverse of the one I want to apply to one of my Inner Sphere lances (in 1/100); sand on the lower half and a sky grey/blue on the top half. As a sort of desert camouflage scheme. As far as passive visual camo is even effective when talking about 10m tall metal monsters...  :D
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Thank you, I'm just trying new stuff with each lance. :)

Those look really good. I especially like the guys with the jetpacks.

The road to battalion level continues with a lance of Urbanmechs, a UM-R80, UM-R60L, UM-R60 and a UM-R93. The 93 is (I believe) and Ilclan era mech.

Holy streetfighters, you really went to town with these ones!  :D

Even though the Locust is my absolute favourite light mech, the Urbie is a close second; great work!  :)

Let's just hope that these cityfolk never get dragged out into the countryside though...  ;)

Snord's Irregulars, an offshoot unit from the Wolf's Dragoon's, more interested in looting historical artifacts than completing missions. From left to right we have an SPT-N2 Spartan, HGN-732 Highlander (Rhonda Snords mech), GLT-3N Guillotine and the Frankenmech Hybrid Rifleman RFL-3N Sneede.

I wasn't going to even attempt to paint the suggested paint scheme for the Frankemech.

The Franken-Mech on the right is classic.

A Guillotine GLT-4L, Flashman FLS-7K, Lancelot LNC25-02 and a Crab CRB-27.

I got around to finishing some more mechs to complete another lance, this time a Raven RVN-3L and a Commando COM-2D.

Joining the Mongoose and the Mad Cat to form a complete Lance.

They look great! That’s an interesting mix in the lance with three lightweights backed by a monster. Maybe the lights didn’t spotting for the Mad Cat’s LRMs and lure victims in close for a mugging…
