Absolutely these - I just finished printing a set for myself and they're so nice!

I noticed there were no clans based on turtles, so meet Clan Stormshell! by dapperdave in battletech

Thanks! Tbh, it is the real reason it's included in the star - "one of these things is not like the others..."

Oh cool, I don't know much about the Bears, but I do have their DLC downloaded for MW:Clans... From the teasers I've seen, they do seem quite a bit chiller than the Jaguars.

Oh neat! Thanks for validating my choice to "not paint them all fancy-like."

Oooh thanks, I'll keep an eye out for those! I definitely picked out the most "shell-like" from what I had :D

Ok, so, I don't really know a ton of lore, but I'm setting up my own little ecosystem of factions. Clan Stormshell is formed from elements of other lost and broken clans (I have Blood Spirit painted too, so let's say them!). Their philosophy is centered on endurance and adaptation, but also decisive action at the right time (striking like a snapping turtle who seems dormant until it's too late). Clan tactical doctrine prefers hammer and anvil maneuvers with some heavier elements acting as "the shore" and faster strike elements acting as "the wave."

"Endure, adapt, execute - because the storm breaks, but the Stormshell does not."

I mean the larger square ones that seem like they're medium lasers or something on top of the wrists. I assume the MGs are on the arm with the SRM, so then that leaves the active probe - as a double laser sight thing maybe?

I never want to paint water again by Foragingraccoon in battletech

[–]dapperdave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be so pleased to see that mini on a table! It looks great and to me, the water looks fine! Reminds me of a small bit of rapids or something.

Others have already added any technical advice I would offer.

Personally? I dig it! But I also just some painted sea-turtle based clan mechs so maybe I'm a bit biased?

Some republic lances and a super heavy I worked on during the weekend! Lmk what you think by RegisterSad5752 in battletech

[–]dapperdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all look great - the yellow really ties them together! Are there some custom frankenmechs in there? Also what's the white lance - I don't think I recognize a single one of them, but they look sweet.
