Final version of the SRM carrier (which was the thing I tested the livery on but added some minor details to it) as well as an Ontos heavy tank in my Saberwolves merc company livery.
Am almost done with another group of mechs and vehicles-even a Warrior v-tol! Will get them up soon!

Heading into turn 5 and in typical me fashion, I am losing. Down 3 mechs to none of my wife's.
Had my Warhammer taken out by a miracle critical hit on turn 2, and a desperate DFA by my Blackjack failed, followed by my Rifleman getting blown up.
One of these days I might actually get a victory 😅

Today, it's everyone's favorite little trashcan with an AC-10 that would lose to an Annihilator in a foot race (but only just): the Urbanmech.
Painted in my Saberwolves mercenary company livery and a very early, and very inexpensive acquisition for a new mercenary company.

A good ole Hunchback 4G in my Saberwolves mercenary company livery.
Seeing this as one that would have been around at the merc company's founding.

A Blood Asp I in my Saberwolves mercenary colors. (This is from the Black Remnant box). Really love how it came out.
Definitely needs some decals and have some in mind but it means crossing the streams and entering into 40k territory 😄

@/orkhugs.bsky.social had a really awesome idea of my creating a group of mercs for #Battletech called the Saberwolves.
Sorted through the stuff I own and decided to paint an SRM carrier in a test livery.
I *love* it.
Now to paint a bunch of mechs and tanks I set aside for the mercs!

I've definitely used the handle as a callsign for a mercenary mech pilot and tossed them into a Nightstar with a special paint job but I hadn't thought about creating a Merc outfit.
I love it!!! Thank you for the idea!
Now I need to re-sort through my mech pile to do this (or buy a few more >_> )

And a few additional pics.
The base is the Forward Operating Base and the hills are from #ThunderheadStudio
3-D printed the bits at home and painted them up. The buildings still need some generic decals but I just haven't had a chance to add them.

And my D&D DM and storyteller side came out with creating some short flavor text for the game.

Ready to roll for some early Birthday #Battletech at the local game store tomorrow (my birthday is still a few days away).
Mercenary Forces taking on Jade Falcon, Delta Galaxy on a planet in the Morges system.
Now to wait (im)patiently until tomorrow afternoon.

Finished up a pair of Jade Falcon Stormcrows the other day!
I HAD only one more mech to go to finish what I had set aside for Jade Falcon but the new Alpha Strike Scouring Sands box just added 9 more to my pile of shame...I mean things to paint in Jade Falcon colors.

Progress update on the Forward Operating Base for #Battletech.
Down to one building left to paint before working on decals and washes.
Trying to get this done before the 16th when I'm taking part in a 2v2 match.

More progress for the Forward Operating Base for #Battletech by Thunderhead Studio.
Two buildings to paint, am going to aim to put some decals, and then some washes before working on the bases and walls.

WIP update:
3-D printer is busy with printing the #battletech Forward Base bits from Thunderhead Studio.
AND I picked up a paint brush for the first time in weeks to begin painting some of the structures of the base.
Though, I need to make some new washes as I am currently out.

It's October, so QRP with a werewolf!
This is one I am really proud of how the paint job came out a few years back.
The original stl file was from Loot Studios.

While my dice rolling was much better, I realized way too late that I made a tactical error early on, which prevented me from gaining very many victory points unfortunately.
But I did have fun, and that is ultimately what it was about...that and giant stompy battlemechs.

Am rather proud of myself. Even though it is 229.9 lbs, I haven't been below 230lbs in over a year.
So far 5 lbs lost!
Feeling a small victory toward getting my health back in order.

Finally finished painting my #Battletech mechs and tanks I allocated to House Steiner (the 15th Arcturan Guards and the House colors).
6 lances and 7 tanks/hovercraft.
*Feels accomplished despite many more mechs and tanks to paint 😅*

#1 Yes I *am* crazy. #2 I have five more Steiner mechs left to paint (2 in the 15th Arcturan Guards and 3 in the house colors) from what I allotted for House Steiner. Then group shot!
