Sometimes You Just Need Some Googly Eyes

Well, after being too tired last night to do any painting, I sat down tonight and worked through the Falcon Guards 'mechs all the way through to finished. Or very nearly - the only thing I have left to do is come up with some names and ranks for the pilots; I may make them all Warriors but it's very tempting to make the Battle Cobra the mount of a Star Commander, because that at least seems like the sort of rank where a little individual flair might be given a pass. 

L-R: Night Gyr, Linebacker, Black Lanner, Battle Cobra and Arctic Cheetah - the Battle Cobra just had to get some googly eyes on it because it's such a brilliantly derpy little 'mech

Right side view, showing (some) of the Jade Falcon insignia, as well as the green panels that break up the camouflage pattern applied by the Falcon Guards

Rear view - the little red dot on the Linebacker is a small laser, while unique amongst my Jade Falcons so far is a non-Prime variant mech: the Battle Cobra again. The -H variant replaces the two extended range small lasers with heavy medium lasers, which gives it more punch

Left side view - again showing the way the green panelling breaks up the camouflage, and marks these 'mechs out as Jade Falcons

This brings my total number of painted Falcon Guards battlemechs up to somewhere around 20, which is two Binaries or a reinforced Trinary. I'm still planning on picking up the Alpha Strike box, which will give me five more Clan mechs - a Warhawk, a Timber Wolf, a Fire Moth, a Pouncer and a Nova - and then, when it releases, the new Battletech Aces box, which will add some more, like the Howler, Bane 3, and Summoner H. Not sure where they'll sit at that point, but I'll probably try and pick up at least one each of all the Clan Star sets that CGL make. And I do need more (lots more) Elementals too.
