Atlas Online. The "Tonka Team" is almost done.
These have honestly been so fun to paint. Next is the basing. I got some tips from a friend for the technique I'm gonna use and I'm so stoked.

Following through on that whole progress thing.
Still one yellow one to finish but here's the set that's one deck.
I'm having some fun with this batch. That lobster one doesn't have a direct analogue to a battletech mini and I'm still curious what I'll run it as 🤷🏼♀️

One of my favorite mechs of all time. I'll be doing another one of these in my Merc colors, but this one is for these (working title) Yellow Jackets.
(though Tonka team has been a popular second 🤣👌)
Lance 3/4 complete

What lance is complete without a "Hunchback".
I think this is more in line with a Quasimoto haha, but I wanted another 'gun with legs' in my crisis team.
All this glass cannonry is gonna need some heavy armor in the front 👀

I had to branch out in my mechs a little but.. I dunno if a mech should be capable of this much raw sexual energy...

Maybe like a.. Martian kinda red thing?

Just a little more work on the basing and I'll call her done. I don't think I actually intend to play with this one other than sitting beside me when I play as a reference 🤣. I wanted something to be "my mech" for my pilot if I ever played Lancer.
