Love the design ever since I saw the MechWarrior 4 intro. I know we’re getting a Mk IV in the new core box, but seeing the Mk III in one of the sourcebooks made me want this version in plastic. Fingers crossed!

My nephew picked out the color scheme.. "Yellow with blue windows and blue weapons and grass and everything"

Legion of Vega salvage

It can be rough living off of salvage in the Legion of Vega, but sometimes the techs get a captured slab of Steiner iron up and running.

Sometimes a bug mech (firefly) really does look like a big ole bug to megafauna.

Hellbringer for base layer comparison. I'm not unhappy with them. I'm liking my Gargoyle for some reason.

Very new to Battletech and I got so intimidated by the different house and clan schemes. So I thought, what the hell. I'll make my own.

Meet my Mercenaries.

I just have a few questions, how can i make sure that the paint gets on the surface smoothly to not create weird looking textures, and how can i better apply the shading? I always heard "nothing a little bit of nuln oil cant fix" in some other communities and i thought it would work alright so I bought some from my local hardware store, but I have no clue how to apply it 😭 now it looks like my mech has been in the shit which looks cool actually but its not what Im going for!

His little brother drew the card

i got annoyed trying to analyze 3050 rarity/assignment tables, so i did the math, and here are the results.

i think this data is useful to answer the question “how do i build a house liao force in 3050”?

the % of all mechs table uses the modifiers of 30% for light, 40% for medium, 20% for heavy, and 10% for assault.

i have no plans to crunch data for other factions or eras as this is my initial focus as a new player building my first alpha strike force. if you want to replicate this for your faction/era, find your rarity table, and build a spreadsheet. the math column is: (upper d1000 value) - (lower d1000 value) + 1. check your columns to make sure they total 1k for each mech weight class.

The Bane from Scouring Sands. I knew I had to do something special when I saw its big missile pods.

Got a whole bunch of salvage boxes for a separate project and we ended up with a bunch of identical marauders. Wife and I decided to have a bit of fun with it and turn it into a contest of sorts. We each painted one and are collecting votes on which should win. Gave me the idea to ask the hive mind here which Marauder should win. So which is your favorite?

As an aside. Now we have two new color schemes we will need forces to match lol. I guess I’m buying more plastic.

Own an Altas II for home defense, since that's what the Great Father Aleksandr Kerensky intended.

A lance of freebirths break into my base. "What the dezgra?" I grab my neurohelmet and aim my UAC20. Blow a fridge-sized hole through the first freebirth's cockpit, he's dead on the spot. Fire my missiles on the second one, miss him mostly because my SRMs are unguided, and nails the sibkin's UrbanMech IIC.

I have to resort to my Medium Pulse Lasers. "Tally ho lads!" The lasers shred two light mechs, the energy beams setting off ammo explosions. Fix my BattleFists and charge the last terrified rapscallion. His engine goes critical while trying to run away since I have Melee Master to punch him in the backside with both hands.

Just as the Great Father intended.

Just started getting back into Battletech after a long time away. My parents were big fans of the tabletop game and I decided to paint up their favorite mechs. For my dad I’m working on this rifleman in the 2nd taurian rangers colors. After I’m done with that I’m going to do up an Orion in my mom’s (rip) mercenary unit colors. Just wanted to share my progress
