149th Darkhorse Cav gets some much needed Mech and air support!

 More Battletech painting getting done. I've had the air support for some time, but have just had the chance to paint them up. The Iron Wind metals are a giant PITA to put together, requiring pins on almost everything. The Marauders and Bushwackers all had to have everything pinned and glued. I actually had to put together the Bushwackers multiple times before I finally figured out the pinning process. The Marauders were pinned from the get-go!




A pair of Bushwacker X-1's for the HHT Sniper Lance.

A MAD-9S Marauder almost finished.

Bravo [Sniper] Lance/149 ACR.


A Karnov UR Transport [3055 upgrade] for hauling around infantry of the 37th Mechanized.


The Karnov, a pair of Warrior attack helos and a Ripper transport helo for the 37th Mech.

BATTLETECH - 149th ACR BACK ON THE TABLE

 It has been quite some time since I visited the 149th, but I find myself with some time to revisit my minis. So 149th came to the table. I've had a few Mechs that I really wanted to get done for the Headquarters and Headquarters Troop. 


The HQ Lance, consisting of An Archer, Catapult, Raven and Atlas finally has the Atlas complete. This 'mech is the centerpiece of the army and the Regimental Commanders' personal ride, so I wanted to do a more thoughtful paint job, but not so as to make the 'mech look like it just came out of the paint shop. He is mostly complete.

There are 2 Bushwackers and two different Marauder variants for the Sniper Lance attached to the HHT that also has a Bushwacker X-1 mostly complete now as well.

Without further ado - I give you HQ/HHT+ 


DarkHorse!

149th ACR


HHT 149th ACR
HHT 149th ACR... and a BushWacker X-1 from the Sniper Lance also assigned to HHT 149th.

The ATLAS AS-7K leads the way. This is a special edition metal from Ironwind Metals. I'm not sure of the date.

The Regimental Commanders' ride! [HHT01] ATLAS AS-7K


And the Archer [HHT02] The XO's ride. this variant is also a special edition scuplt from Ironwind metals. This variant is the Archer ARC-4M



HHT03 is a Raven to spot for all the missiles flying! The 149th uses a RVN-4L variant.

The Raven spots for the Catapult in the distance.

The Catapult is HHT04 and sports two LRM-15's and four medium lasers. This is the original Catapult-C1 variant.



And the HHT's newest [and first] Sniper Lance member - HHT23. A BushWacker x-1. There are a pair of these and 2 Marauder variants in the Sniper Lance that have yet to be commissioned. They are due to have final certifications and be run through the paint factory soon!






A couple extra glamour shots of the gang. Not a bad looking lance at all!





Until next time.
