Check out this week's Hobby Hangout on our Instagram!

We want to be able to bring it to Bluesky, but until we can get over that technical hurdle, check out the Hobby Hangout over there.

Here are some awesome previews of what was featured this week!

Grimshank starts us off with this beautifully done, custom Draconic Imperium Atlas! It really leans into an oni aesthetic with that kanabo, and of course the glowering visage of all Atlases!

Dropping in HOT this week, elder_jester wanted to unveil this beautifully done Highlander IIC from Clan Goliath Scorpion! That object source lighting is peak! Seeker Galaxy would be proud! - https://www.instagram.com/p/DPINN5dgOZk/?igsh=MTNwMGtkNGQwcHMzNA==

Calico Empathy dropped by to hang out with us and brought out this GORGEOUS Sand Wyrm Hatamoto-Chi! They realy nailed the aesthetic and we would LOVE to see this on the tabletop!

Wrapping us up for the week, Ginoxy is celebrating the launch of BattleTech Gothic with these two rival Phoenix Hawks from the Collective of the Violet Crux and the UniStar Ascendancy! Both schemes are beautifully executed! - https://www.instagram.com/p/DPMzjOLjWoY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MXZ1YWw4bjY3NHFzYg==

Need to start painting mechs again. This is an absurd pile of shame. This is just the Inner Sphere mechs too. There's a whole other box of filthy, unpainted clanners. #Battletech

Yes, you should start with that. 😜 I look forward to seeing every picture of every mech that will be finished. 😀

Yes, I have the same problem. I'm going to take a milling machine and mill out the holes, insert a neodym magnet, and then I'll be able to do it better.

Yes, I have the same problem. I'm going to take a milling machine and mill out the holes, insert a neodymium magnet, and then they'll work better. It worked reliably with the tanks, but not at all with the turrets.

I just think I need at least two for a good setup. Furthermore, the weapon turrets don't fit properly.
