The Forge Fires Burn

I may not have done any painting today, but I definitely did hobby stuff. This whole 3D printing business is addictive, I think - I'm going to try to limit my printing for a bit! At least until I paint the stuff I've printed... or most of it... or maybe just the 'mechs... 

Ahem.

Anyway, before I went to bed last night I put a print on for a bunch of bases for the Elementals I printed off yesterday, and this morning I washed and cured them and then spent spare moments at work gluing Elementals to them. After work I printed off a few more Elementals (because either I can't count or the printer didn't quite manage to print 65 Elementals all at once - I was 8 short in the end) as well as some 'mechs, which I scaled to match their Catalyst Games Lab counterparts using this handy sheet some wondrous person knocked up. 

 

65 Clan Elementals to complete Delta Trinary, along with a Fire Moth D (front right) and a Fire Falcon Prime (front left). Behind the Clan 'mechs are a Wasp -1A (rear left) and an Archer -2R, although I think that the mini is actually a -2K (rear right)

The mechs I've printed will let me finish the Battlemech portion of my Canopian Cuirassiers as well as the OmniMech portion of Delta Trinary's Alpha Nova: that's five light 'mechs and five points of Elementals. The light 'mechs transport the Elementals around the battlefield at speed, allowing the Elementals to fire their weapons from the moving 'mechs and - unfortunately for the Elementals - act as ablative armour for the 'mechs...

Tomorrow I'm going to slap a bunch of paint on all these things and see if I can take them from printed to painted in two days or so. Wish me luck, etc!
