Mech Advent 2025 Day 6*: To celebrate the release of the Clan Wolf trailer for MechWarrior 5: Clans, I've gone back and updated my Dire Wolf Widowmaker. This brutal 'Mech is the preferred configuration of Natasha Kerensky after her return to Clan Wolf. #BattleTech #MechAdvent2025 #MechWarrior
A Dire Wolf in the brutal Widowmaker configuration, painted black with red trim and a red hourglass on the left leg. A heat sink on the left arm is glowing brightly. A rear view of the Dire Wolf Widowmaker. More glowing heat sinks are visible.

Mech Advent 2025 Day 2: Marauder II (Bounty Hunter variant). This was a lot of fun to paint! I need to go back and redo the rest of the various 'Mechs the Bounty Hunters have piloted in this same scheme at some point. #BattleTech #MechAdvent2025

Messing with #miniatures painting again. Also part of a benefactor's huge cache, this is the start of my Clan Smoke Jaguar forces. 'Mechs in order in the ALT.

Mech Advent Day 3: Warhammer. Joining Max Liao, this is meant to be Katrina Steiner, Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth. This is Iron Wind Metals' pewter model, as you might be able to tell from the crisp details. This was my first real attempt at white; came out well! #MechAdvent2025 #BattleTech

Welcome to the 'Mech Advent Calendar for 2025! Through the month of December I'll be sharing some of my favorite paintjobs from the past year. Let's start with my favorite scheme of the 3025-era Successor Lords: Maximillian Liao's MAD-2R Marauder. #BattleTech #MechAdvent2026

Finally based my #battletech Gothic Draconic Imperium lance. Might drybrush again to sell the glowing green effect but otherwise I'm happy with how they turned out.
Four BattleTech miniatures painted in a combination of Sword of Light (all red) and Otomo (black and gold) livery. Represented 'Mechs are the Rifleman, Phoenix Hawk, UrbanMech, and Atlas from the BattleTech Gothic box set.

see the thing about battle tech is all roads lead to the clans because even though they're ridiculous with names like Hell's Horses they have objectively cool mechs

This is how much Battletech I’ve painted in the last 4 weeks. Really unbelievable.
Just a fuckton (~80?) of painted Battletech mechs and vehicles.

Trying my hand at painting some #battletech Gothic miniatures. I really liked the look of the Draconic Imperium's Atlas, so I made a lance based on that. I combined the colors from the Sword of Light and the Otomo, which would in theory make this Sorenson's Sabres. Just have to finish the bases now.

New home of the Task Force 6 Mercenaries. The most absurd thing I've ever built, and it's 95% scraps and garbage.

Fun Fact™: I built the UI on ESPHome, meaning this is Home Assistant enabled, and can function as a voice assistant.

Only just got a chance to open the box & had to take pics. So very happy I have physical & SIGNED copies of these! Thank you @swankmotron.com for being part of Battletech & writing about a unit I’m genuinely excited to see more of. Hope for a unit patch, mini set, books & more ^_^ #Battletech

I think I should get a background that is more fire and flame to really capture the MW2 cover art 😅 #Battletech #Mechwarrior Timber Wolf of Clan Wolfs 4th Wolf Guards during the time of the Refusal War.

A collection of Battletech minis in black and white with shallow depth of field. The focus is on a white Victor miniature and the others are painted in darker colours. They're a mix of clan and Inner Sphere mechs, with a Marauder and Timber Wolf being the most easily identified.

I've spent a decent amount of hobby time building out some Jade Falcon remnants, along with expanding my mercenaries. Just in time for Aces! #battletech
