My experience of slopes is that the faster you throw yourself down them the more fun they are!  lol  (I did build my own streetluge and do 70mph+ on it though).

Keep up the good work,

Agreed! I’ve cycled down a mountain once, having earned the climb up, and hit 90kmh on the way down, praying the whole time not to meet a pebble or a car on the curves! Best day of my life.

Excellent mechs, I like that colour scheme a lot! The basing looks good, too.

Wow, battletech's not my thing at all but they look really good in that camo scheme.

Really lovely painting on these mechs! I have happy memories of playing Mech Commander 2 :) :)

I also played MWO - maybe one day I’ll buy some of the mechs I used to play… Slippery slope…

Lovely mechs - really good paint jobs. However - I really must disagree with you on one tiny aspect - paining the mechs isn't sliding down the slippery slope - that's achieved when you research the unit history and get the correct unit insignia decals!  lol

Insert the meme of Gollum “not listening”  lol

Thanks all!

Next unit will be “canon”. Reading universe now, and have Clan books …  o_o
