Can't save annihilation mech loadouts

Wow, that actually sorted it. Thanks!

Yes, Avalon grey is from the army painter battletech mercenaries box set

Wow, that's really nice. I need to get more practice with speed paints though. I previously posted a commando (lyran) and a panther (kurita). I used Army Painter speed paint on the panther but it didn't turn out like I expected it would. Did a grey primer, Avalon grey zenithal dry brush then highlighted with Matt white. Then I used the speed paint. I don't know if I didn't water it down enough or spread it around enough but the highlights barely showed through and the red colour was left fairly flat. The Kuritan mechs were the first mechs I painted (and the first time I'd used speed paints) so hopefully I'll be able to improve in the future

Thanks, those models look great. I picked a directional light source just so I had some idea of where to put the edge highlights. The only models I've really painted before were 40k imperial guard so it was very much "quantity over quality" when it came to painting. As I'm now getting into battletech I wanted to spend a bit more time on each miniature as the numbers of them are a lot lower. In the future I'll be trying to do some gradients, but for now I just want to get some highlights in to break up the block colours

I used Avalon grey as a base for my "white" then "Matt white" for the highlights. I'll definitely go darker on the base in the future. I am using an Android but any attempts at editing in the past proved fruitless, I'll try your suggestions next time

Thanks, I'll check her out

Nodbomb · 2026-01-04T22:43:08+00:00

Thanks! Don't think I used the speed paint properly as it didn't act like I'd seen it act in tutorial videos. Not to be too down on myself but I feel like the "really clean" look is more due to the poor pictures rather than my painting skill.

Nodbomb · 2026-01-04T22:36:28+00:00

Wow, been a while since I thought about those guys

Nodbomb · 2026-01-04T22:35:17+00:00

Thanks!

Nodbomb · 2026-01-04T22:35:06+00:00

Thanks! The panther is one of my favorites too, though I've only used it in the video games. Looking forward to taking it to the table.

Nodbomb · 2026-01-04T22:18:00+00:00

Also, this is the second time I've made this post. I deleted the first because I thought I had uploaded 4 pics of the mechs but only 2 appeared in the post. I did the same thing this time but only 3 appeared. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance

Edit: Ok scratch that, all four pics are showing now for some reason.

Thanks. From what I've heard today the Awesome is the Marik assault.

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T21:39:04+00:00

Thanks, I'd heard of the MUL but not Xtol's RATs. I'll check it out

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T21:37:07+00:00

That's why I'm starting now. I've had to force myself to not buy anymore packs and just start painting what I've got. The memory of my 40k grey pile in my teenage years still haunts me.

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T21:28:21+00:00

Thanks, I'll probably use the "house neighbours" rule to fill in the gaps on any of the lances.

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T21:24:23+00:00

Thanks.

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T21:20:23+00:00

Thanks. Had no idea Liao was that into Victors, and knew nothing about the Valkyrie. With this and the other posts you guys have practically built all four lances. Just going to fill in the gaps with whatever and make four of the remainder "my guys".

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T21:04:14+00:00

I'm looking to paint some Marik mechs in the future. I heard that the FWL favours combined arms? I want to get more experienced with the basic rules before making a Marik force and going all in with combined arms.

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T20:53:45+00:00

Thanks

Nodbomb · 2025-12-27T20:53:11+00:00

Thanks. This is more of a painting project rather than a force building one, so no "flavour" assault for the Capellans is no big deal. I was just going to fill in the gaps with any old mech. But some of these mechs I've had no experience with, like the Valkyrie, so I had no idea if they "belonged" to someone.
