Back To (Black) Battlemechs

I'm sure that's a reference to something. Anyway, today while at work I put together the Armiger Warglaive Knight Titan that I had the parts for. I also realised that the reason I can't find the torso element for the second one is because it was used as part of a conversion that P did where they took the legs off a Dunecrawler and the body and arms off an Armiger and put the two together. So I may do the reverse and stick the turret off a Dunecrawler onto the legs of an Armiger and Chaos-ify it. Or Ork-ify it. Who knows. I need a 100mm diameter base first either way.

This cheerful chap will end up in the colours of House MacLeod, my Imperial Knight House, and fight alongside the two Helverins I already have

After work I did a little bit of very simple stuff: first I undercoated the four 3D printed Firestarters I have for my Battletech mercenary outfit, MacLeod's Light Horse, and then I finished the bases on the four Light Horse mechs I've already got painted:

The lighting is poor so these look very much like silhouettes here but they are, in fact, four Firestarter variants: two -S2 and two -S3 machines, making the lance a formidable scouting and light strike asset

Taken in the light box. I tweaked the photo afterwards to enhance the details: this is pretty close to how they look in real life. The rear of each base has the mech type on it (a Stalker, Black Knight, and two Orions) rather than the specific variant designation (STK-3HM, BL-6-KNT, ONI-KMs) mainly because I haven't yet settled on exactly what designation to use for my custom machines...

Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can get the Firestarters done. I was supposed to be popping along to the proposed location of the Llangefni wargames and roleplaying club, but alas I have an appointment that clashes that I can't miss, so saying hello to those people will have to wait.
