I’m sometimes asked about the decals I use on my #BattleTech minis. Of course FightingPirannahGraphics for faction insignia, and occasionally some GamesWorkshop or scale model (plane) ones. I also use a lot of decal sheets you can buy to detail mechs/GunPla. Here are some of my recommendations:

Two sets of Vertex sheets I buy at YodobashiCamera. Cheap and have dozens of decals on with both unreadable text and things like ‘Caution’, ‘Hot Surface’, ‘Beware of blast’ and the like. Absolutely excellent sets.

Thanks, Dad!

Training some new Mech Warriors? Excellent. I agree the succession wars is probably the best place to start.

Very nice work. What models are they?

Calling it good enough. A Bane painted up for my 1st Falcon Sentinels. #battletech

A miniature of a Bane battlemech, painted green with yellow accents. A mural of a falcon covers part of the top of the hull.

I recently got Rogue Warriors to give it a try. Simple rules, 4-on-4 (or co-op/solo). Cheap, too. Have you tried it?
I’m going to get some of the WA Operators for that.

Completed DRG-1N for my son’s #draconiscombine forces. The 15th Mech I’ve painted for them and the first Dragon! #battletech #battletechhobby #housekurita

Someone needs to check the weather in hell. Has it frozen over??? Here is an actually uplifting story about wargaming/wargamers.

Spalding Wargames Club putting mental health on the front line

Members of a wargaming club say the support they have been getting from the sessions are 'crucial'.

I bought this on the cheap to make as a carrier-corvette for #voidfighter
The kit seems a good size, from a quick look at the parts.
I’ve been living in Japan for 24 years now and I’ve actually never seen Space Battleship Yamato. I don’t watch much anime actually.🤔

Can do. Let me correct a mistake or two first. A Google Drive link would be okay?👍

…one of the gunships had only an enhanced turret (with 2D10 guns!) but lost the turret and took an engine hit in one turn! It trundled about at Speed 1 for a couple of turns but managed to get off the board, tanking a few hits on its six.

Some pics from today’s #voidfighter game. 2 vs 2, all had played last week. This time I let them choose their upgrades so they could customise their ships…though one got hit in their Systems and lost all their upgrades in the second turn!😆
They’re learning well though and getting craftier….

Caesar’s Civil Wars - Pompey’s Legio III Command Tent. Cracking 28mm Romans from Aventine Miniatures, plus a bloke from Warlord Games who appears to be very theatrical in his mannerisms.
