The BIG book!

Yep, got it today, #293 of only 1000 copies hardbound in real fake leather, what's not to like? It's the limited edition of Total Warfare, the big book of Battletech rules.

Of course one can't get a book without models, so I got a bag of plastic bases and two of my favourite mech's, the vulture got a little reposing of the right leg.

 Mad Cat and Vulture, in a handy 1/300 scale!

 Comparsion of my clixy 15mm variant, it's almost as detailed though!

I must mention that this was my first purchase from ral-partha and as a new customer I get a 10% discount code, which I didn't use this time (bigger order in the future perhaps..?), but in the package they had put a reminder note to me so I wouldn't forget about it! How many retailers do that? =)

Mechwarrior tanks

Well, I have finished the bases for the rest of the mechs, and while that pasty vallejo stuff dried I touched up some thanks, these turned out rather good!

And a little preview of my very own Mad Cat, I will do a total repaint of this one, not just enhancing the paintscheme from the prepaint. After all, this "beauty" deserves a little more love than just a regular paintsplash.

Mechwarriors, based and painted

So, I have finished the basing, and did a little touch up on the prepainted models too. I did some washing, drybrushing and made sure not to cover the decals. Not too much difference, but the result speak for itself, doesn’t it?

I have a dead ugly brother!

So, here they are, from the puny PBI, to the gods of the battlefield, enjoy, click and get mechanized!

The whole family!

 Of course my paintstation is full of other steel behemoths… ;-)

Mechwarrior

I got some inspiration from this guy, and decided that I needed some better bases for my old clicky mechwarrior models. I'm thinking of using the Flying Lead rules from Ganeshagames, and make some cool mechy weapons in their online weapon builder. Just love those ganesha guys, amazingly easy rules with endless possibilities. And for once I shall try to make good looking bases, the rest of the paintjob is almost done already, so I have no excuse not to.

So, here I am so far, I have a lot more models to base, but I began with these few:

As you can see, my table is a mess, just like it should be!
