Croeso i Gymru

 So, yes, it has been almost exactly two months since I last updated anything on here. This is because in that time P and I moved house! We went about 180 miles north-west from where we were, and are now in Gogledd Cymru, or North Wales to you English speakers (as if I'm not, that is). There is a lot to be done still in terms of unpacking boxes and organising things - especially my toy soldiers, who are getting a home in the garage with a 3D printer to reinforce them - but I had enough time and brain space today to get the paints out and use them. I had that Stalker STK-3F from the batch of 3D prints my friend R had made for me which didn't get conscripted into the 1st Canopian Cuirassiers, so as noted in the last post I was using it to experiment with painting up a Lyran Guards machine. I will eventually pick up some transfers for the 6th Lyran Guards from Fighting Piranha Graphics but until then:

The business end - two large lasers, four medium lasers, two SRM-6 launchers and two LRM-10 launchers

Slab sided and blocky, the Stalker is not a subtle machine

The -3F is the most typical variant, in wide use among all the powers of the Inner Sphere

Dust, mud, and debris coat the lower legs of the mech as a result of wading and rough terrain

Once I have the 3D printer operational, I'll be having a go at making more mechs not only to finish the Canopians but also the Lyran Guards and my mercenaries. Meanwhile my Jade Falcon Gamma Galaxy Falcon Guards Cluster is going to be made from CGL plastics, because they started that way and I want to maintain consistency. Similarly any Inner Sphere CGL plastics I get will end up either as PDF machines, or in my Marik Militia or Justine's Grenadiers forces - although I may well repaint my Justine's Grenadiers as a different Capellan unit, because at the moment they look very similar to my Falcon Guards.
