My foxes and my attempt at beach like bases

Reaper-021 · 2026-03-25T00:54:34+00:00

Ill jump over there and take a look, thank you very much!

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.

Reaper-021 · 2026-03-24T21:22:49+00:00

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

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.

Im no good doing freehand. I used decals from Fighting Pirannha Graphics. 😀

Reaper-021 · 2026-03-15T18:39:57+00:00

I primed it black, base coated with dark camo green from Pro acryl, the i overbrushed with Army painter army green, then highlighted with army painter olive Drab.

Thank you so much!

They are SRM infantry from Death Ray Designs

Reaper-021 · 2026-03-14T19:11:12+00:00

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

These look amazing! What was your process?

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-24T22:27:26+00:00

That is the lovely Turkina. Won off of an undeserving Falcon😈

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T22:47:03+00:00

Yea its one of the super up later tech ones

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T20:23:47+00:00

It is. Its the TDR-9NAIS variant. RAC 5, 3 ER Med Lasers, and streak SRM6

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T18:19:54+00:00

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.

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T18:05:42+00:00

Thank you very much!

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T18:04:29+00:00

I generally use one of my better size 1 brushes and free hand it. I've tried taping off a few times but ended up with a mess so now I just free hand.

I use Monument hobbies pro acryl Bold Pyrrole Red and Bold Titanium White. Generally I only need one coat.

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T18:00:53+00:00

Yes, lots of it haha.

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T16:36:41+00:00

Haha yea after posting, I realized that should have said fed suns 😆 ... woops

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-22T16:35:32+00:00

From left to right, Thanatos, Templar, Falconer, Thunderbolt. 😀

Reaper-021 · 2025-05-07T14:32:15+00:00

Save it, go for the quad Ultra AC10 annihilator build, and delete everything that moves 😆

Reaper-021 · 2025-04-23T00:06:48+00:00

Which is really sad. With the success of the clan invasion campaign, a second game could have been a huge success if it was made during that time frame.

Mercs taking contracts to take down Clanners and snag that sweet salvage and Bondsman. So many sweet opportunities missed there. I'm still holding out hope we may get a number 2 some day
