Fly, My Falcons, Fly!

Even though Schlock Mercenary rightfully said that an armoured infantry trooper in flight is nothing more than skeet, the Elementals of Echo Trinary are now all done. Perhaps because they've read their Schlock Mercenary, none of them are in flight (although one has fired off their SRMs):

75 Elementals, making up the final infantry component of the Falcon Guards Cluster in their camouflaged green powered armour suits with integral jump-packs and one-shot SRM launchers on their shoulders

 I also finished the five light Omnimechs that, combined with the already finished mediums and lights, mean I can now say that two of the five Trinaries are complete: Delta and Echo.

I'm still getting to grips with the lightbox, so the glare is a bit unpleasant here annoyingly

These are all 3D prints, but with the paint on you can't tell at all unless you put them next to a CGL model

The Kit Fox is one of the mechs that the Jade Falcons were famous for using during the invasion of the Inner Sphere, along with the Summoner and Hellbringer

I actually forgot to do any of the dirtying down until after I'd based them, which was a little embarassing

Other than that I also got to the "coated in Nuln Oil" stage on the two Vultures and the Warhawk, which - when they're done - will mean I'll have completed three of the Cluster's five Trinaries, and the Command Star. Exciting stuff! Still nowhere near the number of mechs that C has in his massive Davion force, which is now well into Regimental Combat Team territory.

Also present - two Canopian Cuirassiers' mechs, undercoated and ready for their Iyanden Yellow contrast

I've also been printing a load of stuff for C - some ComGuards mechs, and a bunch of infantry and tanks. I managed to make a mess of the scaling for the tanks and infantry, so I'm going to reprint those, but the mechs are fine. The trucks and Maxims that are currently on the print bed are, I hope, more to scale than the tanks were originally!
