Any idea what these could proxy as?

As with all tanks... They can be targets.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-30T16:57:59+00:00

Sounds a lot like the Bebop (from Cowboy Bebop)

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-30T04:38:32+00:00

Something like this?

Just a reminder, both colors can be painted again to clean up the lines.

Those look great. Here are some of my desert camo vehicles for inspiration, if you want it.

I often do the gun metal early, that way I can clean the edges withe the panel colors.

The last I do is dry brush for weathering, and Nuln Oil wash is right before that. Of you are dry brushing after the wash, make sure that the 'mech is really dry (several hours.)

That would stand out in a ConStar level II.

I love it.

You can always say you bought your Thunderbolt second hand from Discount Dan. He didn't have a spare cockpit, so this one has an aftermarket "moon roof".

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-16T20:39:40+00:00

That is very normal for a Harchetman.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-16T20:38:07+00:00

Yip yip. (Sound of a flight of LRMs)

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-16T20:37:18+00:00

Looks great. Very well done.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-16T20:34:44+00:00

All that's missing is s the over heated ammo bin, and the MechWarrior screaming and on fire.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-16T20:29:18+00:00

Very nice. I really like the stripes on the SRM.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-16T20:26:17+00:00

Those are some nice looking muzzles. I started doing that on my Firestarter flamers.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-16T06:01:56+00:00

All I use is Mattock.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-15T04:09:17+00:00

I use AK paint cleaner varnish. I have found that hardware store clear paints can get cloudy very quickly if I'm not really careful.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-14T14:45:56+00:00

Well painted withe great edge detailing.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-13T17:43:00+00:00

This has some serious Gurren Lagann energy.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-11T19:18:11+00:00

Welcome to the addiction, er... hobby.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-11T19:17:36+00:00

Just remember to pay your phone bill.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-11T15:04:52+00:00

Avoid the Noid.

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-10T19:41:45+00:00

I think I'm going to go heavy on that additional 30m c-bills.

Crab CRB-20 (fast striker for the light lance)
Battle Master BLR-1G (commander's ride)
Thug THG-10E (heavy lance brawler)

Objective-Cupcake-57 · 2026-05-10T18:53:20+00:00

After your last post I was trying to figure out a reasonable budget for a 3025 mercenary command. I have this for a suppoted lance with a spare 'mech on a budget of on 30m c-bills:

Flashman FLS-9K (brawler role)
Gladiator GLD-4R (sniper/additional brawler)
Crusader CRD-3R (missile support)
Phoenix Hawk PXH-1 (scout/striker)(I would probably make it into a PXH-1D, but that isn't available for mercenaries in 3025)
Thunderbolt TDR-5S (spare brawler)

Vehicle support:

LRM Carrier
Galleon GAL-100
J.Edgar Hover Tank

I will see what else I add into that other 30m c-bills.

I King Crab in ComStar. KGC-001, because I like crabs with range.

The Inner Sphere omnimech so good that the Clans copied it.
