Between my Kell Hounds, Sword of Light and (kind of) my New Ivaarsen Chasseurs, boy did YOU find the right account!

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 14h

Last of my #KellHounds - for NOW. There will be more at some point.

Speaking of #Kurita lists, here's another #forthedragon!
I've recently been on a kick of classic Ral Partha models, and this one was a happy find: a #Dragon with the molded scales. (Alt text for notes on painting/pics.)

I don't normally gloss coat anything, but this one looked SO good that way...but it also made it difficult to photograph. I really feel it looks amazing in person and loses a lot here. Definitely one of my favorite models recently

I will be painting an atlas for each faction and the rest of the box set will be FOR THE DRAGON.

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 1d

I really don't understand the level of hate. I think the box set is super cool, and if you don't like it, don't buy it. Easy.

The people who are mad CGL pushed back Aces...since when has CGL *ever* hit a release date?

Far enough down the timeline, the #ArcticCheetah shows up on even #Kurita lists.

#Hankyu for stopping by.

If lore and pilot cards are going to hand me a reason to paint a Clan mech in Inner Sphere colors, imma take it!

Oh, goddamnit, now I want one...

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 2d

I look forward to reading your paper when it is published.

Meanwhile, I think I need to Google some grinning Nightskies...

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 2d

See comment above about the frequency of "idiot." 😆

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 2d

That might be the coolest compliment I've gotten in some time. Thank you.

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 2d

I love that "idiot" has been used in 2 out of 3 responses to this mech. 😆

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 2d

I'm glad I'm not the only one! That was exactly my logic as well. 100%, every point you made.

The "premium" Stormcrow was completely reversed, I know that much.

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 2d

Don't worry, there are still more #KellHounds. Rounding out the force pack is a mech I've never used on the table - the #Nightsky.

The next #ArcticCheetah bolsters my #ClanWolf forces. Yes, I know the flamer is on the other side, but to me, the sculpt ahas always looked like the electronics package is on the opposite side.

No, the fire one will be tomorrow. 😆

Doubling up today, since the new #mechfrog #ArcticCheetah video dropped. Let's start out with some #jadefalcon goodness.

Back to the #KellHounds force pack, we have their weird #Griffin. I don't know why, but that oblong missile rack really bothers me.

I don't want to say he was shooting loaded dice, but there were a LOT of consecutive 12s...

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 4d

Note: I used them both today and got absolutely shellacked by my 8yo son.

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 4d

I posted my #KellHounds Crusader the other day. Ever since the first edition I bought, I've felt that it and the #Thunderbolt have gone hand-in-hand. I really should use them on the #tabletop more often

More #miniaturerescue and more fun with #simplegreen. Really thick Testors paint on these guys. Not my work - they were from eBay. All of them are stamped 1987 on the bases and have wildly different metal quality on each.

The Hoplite was a tough choice - do I do SLDF, Wolf's Dragoons or #KellHounds? Well, there's a pilot card for the KHs, so...

Oh, man, that sucks. I buy it by the 5g jug at Lowes.

Weidbrewer @weidbrewer.bsky.social · 6d

Less impressive, but similar results
