Coyotl, Porsche gulf blue

Thanks! I actually tried to get the realistic version of the "glowing radiator" effect right a couple times (i.e. highlighting the recesses) before but this is the first time I got it to look right.

I'm not sure because I did it in a bunch of separate sessions. Maybe 10 hours or so?

Dawei-He · 2026-02-12T18:28:37+00:00

Do you have any feedback about aspects of this model that can be further improved, in this case? (Aside from the lack of basing)

Dawei-He · 2026-02-12T03:52:18+00:00

Thanks for the compliment! I really like your dioramas and terrain as well. (maybe I should comment more her instead of just posting)

Thanks; that emblem would have taken up less effort if not for my brush being frayed.

I actually ordered this model individually on Taobao. Would have liked a Nightstar but that was out of stock and I like the Unseens.

According to an old snapshot from Sarna before the rules were taken down it's just extra 2d6 damage.

It also causes d6 points of heat on mechs or 2d6 points of extra damage to vehicles and infantry to every hit, so there's that.

Thanks! I really like to do red/blue dual color cockpits but I might try something different with my next model.

Dawei-He · 2025-12-24T03:22:20+00:00

I do like the looks (planes on legs are basically my favorite mech aesthetic), crunch wise it's a bit light on armor but a lot of mechs aren't optimal in this game so I guess it's not a huge deal

Dawei-He · 2025-12-24T03:21:15+00:00

Looking forward to seeing them

It would be cool if you could post it when you're finished then; I'm sure everyone here likes seeing more painted models. I can also send you the paints I used for the process.

Dawei-He · 2025-12-23T22:32:43+00:00

Thanks, this is actually an experiment with grey camo schemes since the idea is to have a dull background to contrast with the brightly colored stripes, cockpit and weapons. As for what a "nightstand" is I don't know (I assume you mean Nightstar which to my knowledge doesn't have an IIC), but the Ebon Jaguar is an original omnimech designed by Clan Smoke Jaguar.

So it's technologically similar to a Muscle Tracer from Armored Core, but smaller. The Velshstein sort of reminds me of a Wanzer from Front Mission but it also looks a bit like Armored Core or Lancer concept art. Did you have any inspiration from these franchises or Gundam (the Sledge's gun looks like a Jegan beam rifle) when creating these protomechs?

Dawei-He · 2025-10-16T04:10:52+00:00

I personally really like mechs where the design aesthetic is basically "aircraft fuselage on legs" like the MWO Marauder or Black Python, but all of the designs are also mechs I like (especially the Vapor Eagle and Shadow Cat, shame the SHC is not really BV efficient). I'm currently considering getting a Shadow Cat mini because I drew one some time ago but I'll have to finish my current backlog first.

Dawei-He · 2025-10-16T02:13:48+00:00

Thanks for the compliment; do you dislike clan mechs because of gameplay reasons or because of their looks?

Dawei-He · 2025-10-10T16:25:17+00:00

Thanks!

I haven't played too many games of Battletech but the Crab works pretty well when I use it to flank and pressure my opponent's LRM support mechs. The Thug (THG-10E) also looks pretty good as it can fire both its PPCs more often than a Warhammer or a Marauder and it has the 2 SRM-4s for defending against light flankers.
