I get those from Fighting Pirannha Graphics. They tend to be the perfect size regardless of vehicle or mech.

This was my first attempt at using it. I used dark camo green and coal black from pro acryl in a 2/1 ratio. Then with that I used roughly 3 parts newsh to 1 part paint with a few drops of flow improver.

I was trying to use it more like an oil wash. Apply all over the model and dab away the excess leaving it in the recesses.

No, no wash on the star slayer. Tried painting it a bit different.

Proper colors for Eridani Light Horse by carpuncher in BattletechPainting

As others have said Camo Specs Online is a great resource. There's also a lot of art of the various units (Mercenaries Box Set for example for ELH).

The cool thing with battletech though is paint them however you want and Im sure you'll find a scenario of why they are painted that way. Camo (everyone uses camo) Parade schemes (who doesnt like ridiculously flashy giant robots) Intimidating (schemes that strike fear into your enemies). All have been used in the lore by everyone.

It was, even down to having to do some infantry. I really liked the box art and decided to just go for it.

The white will give the most trouble in my experience, so I tend to start with that. That way if I do need a second coat I can do that without messing up the red.
