Oops! All Battlemechs

Well that Marienburger is still waiting to get finished, but I have managed to do the 3D printed 'mechs:

BSK-M3 "Bull Shark" - a 95 ton assault 'mech in Davion service. The grimace on the chassis is a personal addition by the pilot, Lieutenant Feyliss "Sicknote" Crake, in blatant contravention of regulations

A shot of the rear - it's pretty boring!

That particular 'mech is destined for my friend C's Davion mercs/Guards RCT, so I'll probably end up on the wrong end of its guns at some point!

A heavy battle lance from MacLeod's Light Horse (MLLH), a mercenary unit originating from the Magistracy of Canopus. The Orions (centre) are modified versions unique to the MLLH, as is the Stalker (right), which is the personal ride of the unit's commander, Colonel "Mama Bear" MacLeod. The Black Knight (left) is entirely stock in a BL-6-KNT configuration

All the Battlemechs still need bases, which I'm going to get in a week or so from C. Once I stick them on their bases they'll be fully finished but I'm happy to count them as finished for Painting Point purposes.

Painting Points:
Today: 5
This Week: 5
2025: 324

Mystery Mechs And Marienburg

A little painting tonight in the cooler evening hours after a quite busy and exhausting day saw me undercoat and base coat the 3D printed Battlemechs I collected at the weekend, as well as doing some tidying up on the Marienburg Captain readying for the last little push tomorrow. Yes, I know, Space Wolves, etc etc, but I have been thoroughly distracted by these Battlemechs even though they don't even have bases yet:

 
The Bull Shark (stuck to the paint pot) is in my friend C's Davion mercs/Guards colours of olive green with the right leg in red and white; the remaining 'mechs are in the British Racing Green of my personal mercenary outfit, MacLeod's Light Horse. The Stalker is a modified variant -3H, with ten LRM-5s and four medium lasers... and maximum armour. The Black Knight is a stock BL-6-KNT, and the Orions are... mysteries. They appear to have SRM-4s in the left torso instead of LRM-15s, and a laser of some description instead of the SRM-4. They have a cannon in the right torso, and one has two medium lasers and the other has what could be four medium lasers? Or two medium lasers and two small lasers? It's not clear. More research required there I think.

Anyway, tomorrow will also be a long day for a variety of reasons but I'm aiming to get the Marienburg Captain finished and the Bull Shark nearly done at the very least.
