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! GOT A MAP!

A Recon in Force

Mixed forces on the table and more potato quality pictures for today!

Some Soviet Bloc OGRE reinforcements ready for wash and detail, and Alpha and Bravo Troops 151st (M) Inf. The 151st still has a long way to go!

Bravo Company 151st Mechanized Infantry joins the ranks. Their Heavy Support is on the table now.

Far Left: Bravo Troop/151st Mech. Inf.

Next unit: Alpha Troop 151st Mech. Inf.

Next over to the right: 7th Recon Detachment

Last: 2nd Artillery Detachment.

I still have another platoon of 1 Mantcore and 3 Goblin ISVs to paint up for Alpha Troop and 4 Condor 3055 upgraded heavy hover tanks for Bravo troop.

Random Stuff: Had some good light today, so I thought I'd store these pics here.

Good desert camo

The 149th Darkhorse ACR so far...

MISSILES AWAY!

Newly acquired Archer and LRM carriers. I think the Archer is refurbished, 'cuz there's a lot of laser slag on that thing!!!

The first Goblin APC's roll into inventory.

151st Mech. Inf. has begun. Only 9 more Goblins and Infantry stands to go. Oh yeah - and the 4 Manticores. (Shit! Those take a LONG time to paint....)

Alpha and Bravo Troops 7th recon [Danger Close]/ 149th ACR

The recon detachment is complete. Not sure what I'm going to start next.... I have some Gloomspite Gitz, more Battletech, OGRE and WH40K stuff I can paint. What does everyone (all of you many many peeps out there in the internet) think I should start next? Hit the comments!

Trying Freehand for the first time
