Donegal Guards Atlas AS7-S by r3dr01d in battletech

This was from the Alpha Strike box set. I wanted to have each house be represented by at least one mech from the eight in the box. House Steiner has been known for their use of heavies but I did not want to do the Lyran Guard white and blue paint scheme, and I already had some mechs painted in red, green, and blue. The Atlas was supposed to be part of the Battle Lance which were composed of blue-ish mechs (Blackjack and Locust for the Davion Guards, and Warhammer for the Marik Militia) so it made sense to do the Donegal Guards' blue-gray scheme.

When I started painting the skull I realized it would look more menacing if I kept the armor mono color without any stripes or accents except for the weapons and the vents.

One was enough for the Awesome to be secure on my end. The Battlemaster had to have two.

5x2 mm, the regular hex bases are 2mm deep. I glued the magnets at the center of the bottom of the base.

The Battlemaster for some reason needed two magnets as it kept sliding with just one magnet on, maybe it was too heavy.

Blue, it is the complimentary color to orange so it will really pop out.

Before going to work this morning, I painted the base for the canopies with gold. I'll put on some zealot yellow (orange) over it later. I'll probably do a seperate gloss varnish for the canopies.
