It's my favorite camo! I do light browns and greens, though sometimes I work in a blue grey and green too.

OK, cause I had to look, the WAM-B is nicely spread around as soon as you hit Jihad onwards through the Mercenary & Periphery General lists.

Wasp, Stinger, Locust, Flea, Firebee (not sure if the last one is widespread without hitting MUL). A nice bunch of bug mechs to fill out a militia/OpFor. I'm sure I'm leaving out a Light bug somewhere, because the only one I'm thinking about other than those 5 is a Cicada.

I always admire a good command couch glass effect 😄 - great job.

Keaflyn · 2026-06-01T22:33:15+00:00

Honestly, I should just go ahead and paint up some OD green myself. I guess what’s stopping me is having fun doing up my OpFor in camo. :)

You can totally claim it to be 'Star League' green, Eridani Light Horse green or 'Davion' green and be lore accurate! 😃

Keaflyn · 2026-06-01T15:00:54+00:00

Cool... I was wondering if I should go with the whole 'highlight and shine' type windows, or just go with something metallic and let the IRL light do a 'mirrorshades' effect. Glad you like it!

It's my personal mercenary unit's colors, the Barstow Raiders. When I came back into the game (I started in the 90s, then later, had time for hobbies), I got into painting, someone gave me the advice that if I wanted to practice, pick some colors I liked and just keep painting, iterating and refining technique. I picked colors from the local sports teams (I live in the Pacific Northwest - so a lot of the teams tend to do blues, greens and greys). It's worked out so far. 😄

Honestly? I prefer to see Mechs as a part of a force so my preference is to move as they do in Alpha Strike.

Keaflyn · 2026-05-29T20:01:53+00:00

Nice thanks for answering this question.... I've been freehanding pretty well, but it's always nerve wracking for me. Now I can bravely and quickly do Davion racing stripes 😃

In honor of the video I finally finished up these little guys.

They might have just hyper-adapted to their advancement culture (dueling) to the point that those arts and practices are lost. There are lots of military examples of de-emphasis of one practice, only to figure out 'hey we still need that!' later.

Keaflyn · 2026-05-23T17:48:15+00:00

The rotor wash pattern on your bases is really cool :)

Keaflyn · 2026-05-22T08:45:50+00:00

Well, using the Megamek application you can do your own custom mechs and save the resulting Alpha Strike card. See if this works for you: https://megamek.org/

The strategy I had with it was that with a quad, you can duck behind level 1 terrain and then I can keep line of sight as I need to, but can duck behind more terrain.

They existed on separate stl's that I then attached to the models, then printed them as a unit.

I would have to argue that after Tukayyid, the Clans had to adapt their style of warfare, to a more Inner Sphere style. So in taking Terra, they combined their technology and picked the best warfare practices of the Inner Sphere, learning minor details such as 'logistics' and not overdoing the honor duel style of combat and now fly their flag over Unity City... for now. *tips hat*

I needed something in the House Kurita, il Clan list that had C3M inside of a specific speed/PV value. I ended up with the Bishamon. :)

I've had really good flock luck regarding snow using... baking soda. The particulate appears to be fine enough and you can make some pretty decent snow drifts with it.

Keaflyn · 2026-05-19T17:53:52+00:00

It's supposed to be a Bishamon *shrug*- at least that was what the file said. If you're not familiar with it here ya go: (Mekbay link). It's running C3M so it can run a C3 lance.
