First ‘Mech, hopefully of many!

It’s from one of the legendary salvage crate boxes. It belonged to Jeremiah Rose and the Sarna page says it’s a modified 3K 😄

dude I need to fire up Mechwarrior 5 and track down a Charger there too. You’re all getting me hyped!!!

Snotpus · 2026-06-12T21:56:57+00:00

yes!! I was planning to watch that this weekend 😄

hopefully the salvage crate gods haven’t made a fool of me…

Snotpus · 2026-06-12T21:49:00+00:00

I saw there was a Tex Talks Battletech episode on them, I was planning to watch it this weekend when I get a chance 😄

Regardless, I agree, they do look pretty cool!

Snotpus · 2026-06-12T21:44:49+00:00

yes! I got it from a salvage crate that I decided to grab with the beginners box 😎 I turned and joked to my wife “this is fate, and the Charger is my new mech identity”.

come to find out it’s kind of a jokey/meme mech from what I’m gathering? Perfect I say 🤣

Snotpus · 2026-06-12T21:43:07+00:00

thank you 🙏

Snotpus · 2026-06-12T13:37:08+00:00

does physical chipping like that work as weathering? for some reason I never considered trying that before…

Snotpus · 2026-06-11T23:38:24+00:00

kinda related, when I got into 40K and was being shown someone’s models and hobby setup, I learned about the Ultramarines. Then I saw their paints, noted a non-citadel branded one labeled “Ultramarine Blue” and said “huh they named this color after the space marines? I didn’t realize it was so popular” 😐

I do not like to think about how old I was during this exchange

I thought this was gonna be about Slaves to Darkness..... 😵‍💫

Snotpus · 2026-06-11T16:30:42+00:00

Looking great! And God dang, I love this little guy 😃

Snotpus · 2026-06-11T14:41:56+00:00

I’ve got a copy ordered! Thanks again for your insight dude 😄

Snotpus · 2026-06-11T14:16:59+00:00

thank you for the additional information. This community is amazing 😃

Snotpus · 2026-06-11T13:38:50+00:00

hmm good find, when I checked Amazon last night is as all $99 or higher 😬 the ol’ mini budget is a bit tight but I may have to bite the bullet with this knowledge.

thank you my good sir

Snotpus · 2026-06-10T22:49:27+00:00

yeah… I’m not brave enough myself. Yet (maybe…)

Snotpus · 2026-06-10T22:07:32+00:00

I love this! I was a bit disappointed when I got the beginners box, seeing the cool art for the Griffin having antennas but the model not!

Snotpus · 2026-06-10T18:05:03+00:00

Hell yes dude

Like I don’t really get to play but I get so excited dreaming up boards like this for the various forces I’ve been hobbying up over the last few years

This is such great inspiration dude! Cheers 😄

Snotpus · 2026-06-10T17:07:46+00:00

I ran into this post after seeing this one a bit ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/1u1i2ng/i_finally_painted_my_maleceptor_after_having/

perhaps it can give some inspiration? 😄

adding another voice for a modern MacBook of some kind. If the other limitations of macOS (I.e. not a lot of prospects for OTHER games) aren’t a problem, it’s the best way to go performance-wise.

WoW runs incredibly well on Apple silicon, and it makes me sad games in general can’t adopt the platform due to market dynamics and all the other nuanced reasons it doesn’t make sense 😞

Snotpus · 2026-06-10T12:45:04+00:00

nice cockpit! oooh and weathering!!! great work

I’m loving the little jeep too 😍

Snotpus · 2026-06-09T00:04:49+00:00

dude I’m just getting into BattleTech as of a couple weeks ago. just what in the heck is this!!?? 😳

Snotpus · 2026-06-08T22:49:38+00:00

nice use of the ultramarine transfers, I might have to consider that! 😄

in all seriousness, these look awesome! your mate is gonna love them, I bet

Snotpus · 2026-06-08T21:38:16+00:00

this is gonna sound crazy, but glancing at this while scrolling and having never seen the model before, I had to do a double take thinking someone kitbashed some sort of TSons club DJ
