(I've got 5 more minis from this batch to process photos for but this is easily the best)

My Aeldari models are MUCH quicker to paint so I'll definitely be trying to get them ready for the Christmas trip. Also, check out these 3 Spirit Seers! They've got starry little butts! #aeldari #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #eldar #40k

The Warhammer+ subscription spirit seer painted in bone and green with a purple starry cape

Another spirit seer miniature with tufts of alien foliage around the base

All three minis from behind showing off the cosmic colours and stars on their capes

I've seen a lot of comments asking why GW would release a set of mostly bare heads. Now you know. Sucks that they had to sneak them in, but I'm glad they exist anyway

I got to paint Adam Steiner's Axman for a friend! I'm particularly proud of the basing: it's inspired by Southern California's chaparral. #battletech #mechwarrior #miniatures

A miniature Axman battlemech painted in yellow and gray camo, stomping a dismembered Hunchback IIC.

Under painting isn't a new concept for mini painters or painters in general. It's just not one I've used often. I figured I'd give it a shot. Under painted this old Wood Elf King from Reaper Minis in brown black and dark camo green. I was going for an autumnal color scheme.

I wanted to try the grimdark superglue painting method, so I did this practice mini. It's a pretty decent effect, but you have to have a very bright light base coat, preferably white. Any darker shade of basecoat will diminish the effect big time.

Just finished up this lance of 1st Robinson Rangers 'Mechs. I'm beside myself; they're some of my best work yet. More pictures in the replies. #BattleTech

A lance of BattleMechs, in red fading to black on their shoulders and lower legs. Each has gray weapons and a simulated reflection on their cockpits. Small pale gray dots pepper their torsos and legs, representing both stars and the heraldic "ermine" pattern.

There's not enough people posting about actual mechs they've actually painted on here so here's a Davian Lance I painted recently. This scheme looks particularly good on the Atlas. #battletech #mechwarrior #minipainting #tabletopgaming

Had fun reposing and kitbashing this Grizzly 2. Painted primer gray with some rust spots, it's the first mini in my custom merc unit: the Gray Ghosts.
It looks like a pretty mean brawler, can't wait to use it at the table.

#miniaturepainting a #battletech Steiner scout squad. Went real hard on a new technique painting every panel individually. Didn't quite nail it and increased my time to complete from 1-2 days to a solid week. Still, have to admit it's striking and I got a lot of contrast out of it!

Four miniature giant robots from BattleTech with the blue and white armour of the Lyran Commonwealth, yellow cockpits, and green MLAS lenses. Each armour part and panel is individually highlighted.

A miniature Crusader from BattleTech with the blue and white armour of the Lyran Commonwealth, and yellow cockpit. Each armour part and panel is individually highlighted.

A miniature Orion from BattleTech with the blue and white armour of the Lyran Commonwealth, yellow cockpit, and green MLAS lenses. Each armour part and panel is individually highlighted.

A miniature Atlas from BattleTech with the blue and white armour of the Lyran Commonwealth, yellow cockpit, and green MLAS lenses. Each armour part and panel is individually highlighted.

After a game on Sunday, I got had out some terrain, so I fooled around taking a few shots. Here are the Howler 3 "Devil" and Shadow Cat Prime, painted up for Raven Alliance Gamma Galaxy, my favorite force.

#battletech #miniaturepainting #wargaming #terrainbuilding

Another of the Howler. The board and XPS foam terrain by me.

Shadow Cat Prime, though next I play I'll be looking for a newer variant.
