My Patton is not ready yet, but here is the #Battletech Dazzle gang with the J.Edgar hover tank!

It is so incredibly frustrating to have an idea for a project in your brain, have planned it out, ironed out the kinks, improved over previous iterations, have the knowledge needed and the means to get it done... But no free time to work on it, so it stays trapped in your brain and won't become real

Slowly working on this #battletech Patton... Highlighting this will take at least two weeks. I'm way too slow of a painter xD After this, I may take a break and proceed to work on painting some more cars for #Gaslands. A couple police cars and a couple super hero cars.

Another addition to my #Battletech Dazzle camo merc force. A tiny J. Edgar hover light tank! It should be darting at flanking speed through the battlefield while painting targets for it's heavier mates!

My newest #Battletech force is looking sharp here! Working on a small hovercraft and a main battle tank to add to round it up! #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #miniature #painting

My Ontos Heavy Tank is ready! I threw my dazzle camo stripes on that bad boy and now there are only two vehicles left for this mercenary unit to be at full force! #miniaturepainting #Battletech

If you see this, post a tank! Stripes go hard with Schrek PPC carriers #Battletech

Manticore tank for #Battletech painted in dazzle camo! A tank with a proper fusion engine? I bet it comes handy when looking for spares when a more expensive mech is cored out! An Ontos will be next! #miniaturepainting

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! Use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you. I think I might default to my #Battletech Jade Falcons on my old city board, or the pics of them on my newest city board, but I think the dazzle King Crab takes the cake here. #wargaming

Having finished my Manticore means I finally have a full lance of Dazzle camo #Battletech miniatures. I still want to do at least 3 more, but this is starting to look like a functional mercenary force! #minipainting #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #miniatures #tabletop

My Manticore heavy tank for #Battletech still lacks another layer of highlights to fully counter the effects of the Dazzle camo, but it's shaping up nicely! It will be the 4th dazzle unit I paint, so I will have a full lance by the time it's finished!

Had another game of Star Wars: Imperial Assault. Ended up wounding all the rebels, almost outright defeatiing one of them twice, and knocking the wookie down for good. In the end, the rebels where against the ropes, yet I was a bit too slow to open the doors of the bunker they were guarding. I lost

I just got my hands on a Crab Battletech. The temptation to add it to my Dazzle force of composed of a King Crab + escorting wheeled and tracked vehicles is strong, but I must refrain from it, if I want to keep what is left of my sanity. #Battletech

I'm thinking about future painting projects for #Battletech minis, and I decided I want to paint some IlClan era Jade Falcons, since my gamma galaxy are clan invasion era. I want to go with Jade Falcon Remnants, since we bow to no Wolf. But First Falcon Sentinels require to be good at freehands...

Slow progress is progress, after all. Base and main paint layers ready. It now needs at least two edge highlight passes to bring the geometry of the model back into the forefront #Battletech

What Battletech paint job are you most proud of? For me, it's a tossup between my dazzle King Crab (Due to the effort it took and how cool I find it looks) and my Xi Provisional Galaxy Nova Cats, because that color combination is so good it was my scheme of choice in both Gaslands and Kill Team.

Hey, #Battletech fans, what's your favourite mech design? "Punching above it's weight"

I cracked five packs. This was in the last one. I guess It's a good time to retire while I'm on top xD

Time to expand my #battletech dazzle forces! A Manticore tank is in the works! As usual, I've only painted the base layer and organized the dazzle stripes, but that's still quite a lot in my book!

I finally managed to take some decent pics from my work-in-progress #Battletech homebrew mercenaries with their new PPC carrier on some terrain! Dazzle all the way! I love the concept of a single assault mech towering over a bunch of conventional tanks and vehicles. 4 more to go! #minipainting

Show me your tanks and not-tanks! Bonus points if they are extra tiny!

Mistakes were made.

Man made lightning. A trio of white-hot blue energy bolts find their mark. The new plastic Schrek PPC carrier is ready for tabletop. #Battletech #Mechwarrior #Miniatures @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

I lost my #Battletech game today, but it was fun! I had the privilege to cut off the head of a pristine Juliano with an Improved Heavy Gauss shot. That was the highlight of the game! While the city fell and my allies crumbled, I held the line at the spaceport against a freaking ARES from the FWL...

Getting ready for today's #battletech game. And even if they have not yet painted the printed hardware studios scenery the store now owns, it feels good not to have to provide all the scenery and carry it to the store.

First pics from the table I'll be playing #battletech on tomorrow!

And here is my list for tomorrow's #Battletech game! Five mechs, at 12500 points. It's both the first time I play IlKhan era, and the first time I use non standard gunnery and piloting. I just like 4/5 and 3/4 xD The 24th Lyran Guards and its allies will hopefully unleash hell on their enemies!

Still WIP (I still haven't given it a second layer of highlights) but I'm digging this Schrek PPC carrier turret. I'd love painting a ship with several of these, WW2 style. Do any of you know when is @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social supposed to release plastic wet navy assets for #Battletech? XD

Quote post this with a picture of the airplane you'll accept as a bribe. #Battletech

I just got my invitation to a 3vs3 #Battletech game this weekend. I wanted to bring my Star of Nova Cats... But it's set on il-Clan era and 12500 BV2 per person. That's massive. My only painted force that fits the setting is my 24th Lyran Guards. It's limited to MUL appropriate variants. Any tips?

Main colors applied to my dazzle camo PPC carrier! Now, I still need to edge highlight the whole thing twice, and THEN it will be done. Even then, I am very afraid of messing it up with the glue or the brush on varnish after that. So much work is on the line... (See what I did there?) #Battletech

If you see this, post a tank. I haven't painted any Battletech tank yet (we all know the Skulker wheeled scout tank doesn't qualify as a tank despite it's name) but I did paint some Nazis to be blown up by the allies in Flames of War back in 3rd edition.

So far, tonights gaming session will either be a game of Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy or a game of Star Wars: Imperial Assault. I would love to get Bruxelles 1893: Belle Epoque to the table again, but the stars have not aligned in the correct way so far...

If you see this, post something gigantic. Maybe my Hyper Pulse Generator or Anti Orbital Cannon qualify as large enough. They certainly didn't fit my light box xD #Battletech

I finished a bunch of cardboard hills for #battletech! I just used a ton of white glue, a layer of paper maché, more white glue, and basing texture paste. Then just a brown basecoat and a drybrush with lighter browns. A thin coat of varnish, and they were ready. Nothing fancy, but they'll do

Ok, phase 3 is now underway. Let's get started laying down the base pattern for a Dazzle style pattern Schrek PPC carrier #Battletech I don't think I will paint turrets separately in other tanks, but the barrels would really get in the way when painting this vehicle unless I do.

This Block&Key looked like a family-level boardgame from the outside. Short manual, a gimmicky 3d board and piling up physical Tetris pieces. But the placement rules not allowing overhanging pieces, and forcing you to place a taller piece if it touched a previously placed one made it brainburny!

I admit painting the Skulker had me worried, since doing this camo on the King Crab was a miserable experience. But painting such a small model was much more enjoyable. I didn't hate myself for daring to choose camo this time! Next, a Schrek PPC carrier. That will be more daunting. #battletech

Take your oldest daughter to the local book fair and you may end up buying a bit too much Ranma1/2 for one single trip.

Skulker Wheeled Scout Tank ready to roll in dazzle style camo! It will be the first vehicle to join my dazzle King Crab. I hope to be able to paint a reinforced lance in this scheme. #Battletech #Mechwarrior

I may be able to attend a #battletech game in a couple weeks... Maybe I should try to build a couple hills for it, but I fear I won't be able to have them done in time

Boardgame night was alright! Ascending Empires was an original take on 4X (flicking? Really?) and while better than expected, I also found it could be more frustrating than other 4Xs such as Eclipse. While the Spanish publisher doesn't deserve a cent of my hard earned money, it is a solid production

I've got a dilemma. I was looking forward to purchasing Earthborne Rangers + extras, but a single game can go up to 4hours and, for roughly 2/3rds of the price, I could get Dune Imperium Uprising+Bloodlines and GloomHaven Buttons&Bugs for the narrative fix instead. Wwyd? #JuegosDeMesa #Boardgames

The main paint layers for my Skulker Wheeled Scout Tank are done! The base coat has been brightened up leaving only the panel lines in the dark colors. It is still far from done, since it still needs two edge highlighting passes to bring the geometry of the model back to the forefront! #battletech

My first #Battletech vehicle is now roughly basecoated with the "panel line" colors of this paintscheme. Next comes planning out the stripes that will turn this into the proper base for a Dazzle camo scheme.

These #Battletech vehicles will pair nicely with my Dazzle king crab!

Ok, this is amazing. It is genius. I don't know how it plays but I want in. brigademodels.co.uk/mws/blog/202...

You can never have too many mechs! Now, I should try to trade one of my spare Clints, Marauder IIs or Blood Asps for another Archer, Withworth or griffin. #Battletech #mechwarrior

In this house, basing always comes first! Am I mad for prioritizing bases? I honestly can't wait to start working on applying dazzle style camo to these vehicles! #Battletech #Mechwarrior #Wargaming #miniaturepainting
