More Mechs Finished
« on: March 05, 2023, 09:01:15 AM »
Finished the last four mechs for my Kell Hounds company and the last four mechs for my first House Kurita 47 Ronin company.
Here's the back story to the 47 Ronin-
They are the remnants of a Kurita household unit that were struck from all records and officially disbanded after their commander disobeyed a direct order from Takashi Kurita to assist one of the Sword of Light regiments take a city and starport in 3023. The commander of the Ronin refused to assist on the day as the commander of the Sword of Light had issued a no mercy order just before the attack began rather than just destroy the military targets and elements present. The Ronin's commander actually attacked the Sword of Lights commander when he fired on a civilian transport at the starport accusing him of having no honour, for this he was ordered to commit seppuku.
The Ronin have now painted all their mechs off white and have no markings except for the kanji of a number between 1 and 47. They still fight against the enemies of House Kurita and hope that one day they will be on the same battlefield as the commander of the Sword of Light...

Yes, cool back story and well done painting! I like how you painted the cockpit canopies on the mechs - they look great and add a dash of colour without departing from the backstory.

Those look great.  The Kell Hounds are a great merc company, and the off white on Kurita looks really good.

Nice work! How have you found painting these new mechs after having so many?

I'm really enjoying it, there's plenty of nice detail on them.
