Demolisher Heavy Tank
- House Imarra
- Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

The Demolisher is a classic tank, and a nightmare for any mech that needs to be in its vicinity. For my mercenary company the commander utilizes the gauss rifle variant, having the standard AC/20 variant as a bodyguard.

The Rifleman from BattleTech: Gothic is another model that I've been excited to paint. This one is done up for my Word of Blake force, either as an elite hero model for the defense of Terra or as the leader of a lance of Blakist remnants in the Deep Periphery.

i had the same thought when painting mine. the square port matches flamers on other models a d the tiny port on the opposite shoulder matches TAG on other models. im convinced this sculpt accidentally has them swapped compared to the record sheet

Drillson Heavy Hover Tank
- House Imarra
- Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

The Drillson was the first vehicle I used extensively being the ride of my online MechWarrior Destiny character. It’s a bit of an all-ranger with decent speed, LRMs, SRMs, a Large Laser, and Machine Guns.

this is far and away the color scheme with which ive painted the most mechs - 35 so far. that said only 10 are up to my current standards like this one, the others will be repainted or reallocated to other forces

100% - the only thing the Mist Lynx has over those is being available in 3050 lol

Lady Zabu @zabuzauz.bsky.social · Sep 19

agreed - its become a running joke but any mech can be good in the right hands :)

Mist Lynx - Clan Jade Falcon Delta Galaxy

If youve ever thought about using the Mist Lynx my one piece of advice is: dont :p jokes aside, as much as the mist lynx is a little underwhelming when compared to other omnimechs there are plenty of recon focused variants that are worth taking

Lady Zabu @zabuzauz.bsky.social · Sep 12

my only hesitation is that ive beat it before as a child so maybe ill do one ive never completed like zelda 2 or minish cap 🤔

Lady Zabu @zabuzauz.bsky.social · Sep 12

hey! i beat another legend of zelda game! now to pick which one is next, im thinking maybe ocarina of time.

i think the 20 cap might be okay as that destroys nearly every internal location except in the biggest mechs. having a mech go nuclear is thematic but imo so is an assault mech having a torso blow off spectacularly and keep walking (assuming PSRs are passed :p)

J. Edgar Hover Tank
- House Imarra
- Fed Suns Armored Cavalry

my first real experience with this unit was blowing up heaps of them in mechwarrior 5: mercenaries. in classic it turns out theyre actually decently armored with the standard having 30 points on the front, go figure!
