I wanna do one of those "trade up" videos at a battletech convention. Except I know the very first trade I'll be handed a company of urbies and that's a frikkin short video. I'll walk out a victor right then and there.
it's perfect. make opfor think that your tanks are naked and they'll be so confused, they won't have brainpower left for tactics
Finished up three more miniatures.

More snow camo
Painted some more Battletech miniatures for my clan group. I've been referring to this as my "orphan" star, because all five come from different force packs and salvage boxes. Two pictures, because phone camera sucks for things like this.

A Shiro mech from Battletech painted in bone white and bright red with kanji symbols painted on several armor panels in either bone or red depending on where they appear.
A top view of an especially complicated kanji painted on the head of the mech.
A different mech mini with the same color scheme and similar kanji
A rear view of the same mech (can you tell i forgot the name of this one?) showing a kanji on the right upper back.
More freehand practice. Lots of markings need cleaning up but I have never in my life tried to do kanji before with a pen, much less a brush so I'm pretty pleased with them.

Next on Showcase Models in the campaign till the video is done and to celebrate @bigred40tech.bsky.social's newest video, Phoenix Hawk IIC 3!
Purchased to cut back on rearm costs, It was a heavy hitter with staying power to match up to the Jade Falcon mechs speed on table

An astronaut is standing in a red lit passage, holing a rifle. A large alien creature with multiple eyes and body that seems to be glitching emerges from the smoky haze behind, reaching for him with a clawed hand.

Not sure what the thing(s) we faced are, cyber-alien-demons, but they were scary. Went for a bit different style with this one. #art #digitalart #ttrpg #artup #scifi #scifiart #art #horror #alien #artwork
Prepping for βYellowjacket Downβ this weekend. Clan Snow Raven vs Dracs. We have 144 points to spend on Drac mechsπ€ Any suggestions? #battletech #battletechalphastrike

Next up on the models from the campaign until the video is done...
Locust IIC, aka the "You fit HOW MANY lasers on that thing?!"
I did not like the amount this thing kept on trying to find ways into my rear arcs. I'm so glad Bulldog tanks have turrets.

We got to play our #Battletech campaign game yesterday. We had to locate 2 downed Visigoths, and make sure the Inner Sphere could not recover them, as well as rescue the pilots.
The two Grendels crossed the board, and take out the fighters. We did enough damage to force the Mercs to retreat.

Lil over a month to go to submit to fourth BattleTech Pride Anthology! π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ
Like with earlier years, the (2nd of April, 2026) deadline is not a hard cut after which no submission is considered anymore, but depending on time and number of submissions, it may influence late selection process <3
Hey #Battletech crowd, I'll be painting Phoenix Hawk IIC mini as I watch/listen this. Who would like to join up and paint their own PH IIC and we can all display them afterwards.

BIG. VIDEO.
3 hours and 15 minutes of #PhoenixHawkIIC, and #SteelViper goodness.
Mixed in with some #DiamondShark love too.
I hope people jive with it. It took an enormous amount of work.
Goes live on Friday at 11:00 am PST.

He protecc, he attacc, but if he fall we go splat! :( I enjoyed painting this one, last one of the Bannson's Raiders scheme for a while. Ignore the fuzz ;P #battletech #miniaturepainting
Since there's 20 inches of snow outside I've been busy painting. Finished my command lance for my battalion of 13th Donegal Guards. Water slide decals are all that is left to do.
Jade Falcons are up next.
#battletech #miniaturepainting

A hoplite ( painted in black and greys with a purple cockpit with a vulcan painted in teals, greys, and a light bkue cockpit
A merlin in dark teal with a red shoulderpad and grey for the weapons

A 4ft by 4ft board set up for a game of Classic BattleTech, using some 3D printed terrain for the elevated spaces, and "Hextech" buildings and terrain for woods and water.
#BattleTech
Occasionally, I do find time to play Classic BattleTech with my brother. We mostly do it through a Discord video chat, and have a space set aside for it.
Getting a chance to unbox and use some of the new Hextech buildings, the "Industrial Fluidworks" set in particular.
Just a few shots from our playtest of the new #Aces #Legacy convention format at @hairytarantula.bsky.social in Toronto! We'll be running this narrative campaign experience this year at conventions across North America - and possibly one day beyond?

Here is a Blackjack BJ-1 in the colors of the 1st Covenant Guards for the Free Worlds League. This is the next mech for my CDT demo set and for my monthly FLGS event. (For color schemes and more, visit my Instagram link in the bio)

The next Bad 'Mech is the Kuma! A little-known fast cavalry heavy designed with political expediency in mind moreso than actual combat efficacy. The result was... somewhat disappointing.

#OTD, February 14th, we recognize the birthday of abolitionist, orator, publisher, statesman Frederick Douglass, born in 1818 in Maryland. Douglass, formerly enslaved, had no birth record but February 14th was his "chosen" birthday. He remembered that his mother had called him "little Valentine."
Holy shit
Ended up having news that the Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries Archipelago support is becoming more and more complete, what a thing to see when still being a bit sleepy and checking phone oh my god
