Road to Scouring Sands - Jade Falcon Hovertanks

 After half a year of owning them in a grey sorry state i decided to bring my Fulctrums from Scouring Sands up to their Mech brethren (base dark green color).

Scouring Sands are one of the most exciting thing happening to Battletech lately. Its story driven ladder campaign for solo/coop play with predefined Opfor in form of my fav Jade Falcons - so I had to get it.

As a player you fight against them a Mercenary company, one of the core concept of Battletech gaming. I personally prefer House/Clan line units but Mercs are fun too.

As I started to base coat the rest came naturally, and then more...

Now I am in the proces of tabletoping them all. Slowly but Inevitably Scouring Sands will happen.

But big guys are to go... and finishing/decals/bases later...

Battletech 2023 update

 

Finished mechs with decals at last.

Decals are Fighting Piranha. Quite archaic page but great service

1st Marik Militia

Damn Jade Falcon clanners

More to come

Battletech in 2023

 After 30 years (yup, Ive got my Battletech starter with plastic miniatures in 1993) I bought me some Mechs again... (ok thats not technically true as Ive got mmetal Sagittaire around 2008 (?) and some Czech made bootleg metal Marauder around 2001 but this was my second Battletech starter after 1993 one).
And Catalyst did wonders with them! I love each new mechs - event Phoenix hawk - my least fav of the old set! I am not a fan of the game, but I love the world and the minis. And I plan to try Alpha strike - Battletech light.

And started to have some fun. Meet my awesome friend: The Awesome. 1st Marik Militia.

Waiting for decals and was testing with random ex GW decals I had at home.

His Family

And early WIP of OPFOR no 1: The Davion Guards

Not sure I will finish these soon as they were test mini when I waited for ordered modern Catalyst minis. Expect Then and now 30 years of plastic casting post soon.

And modern OPFORno2: Jade falcon early wips - Always wanted iconic MadCat since playing Mechwarrior 3 and Vulture is one of my top 3 favorite Mechs ever.
