I have been trying to get this book out there in print for the global market since before Pride Month, which is the month that it was originally supposed to be released. (1)

It was never intended to be fielded for more than a battle or two, as the added weight of the Dire Wolf torso stressed the highlander leg and foot actuators so much that they froze intermittently in the heat of battle. (This is a kitbash, and my story is non-canon, but I like the idea)

"Fingal's Hound" was born out of necessity while the Northwind Highlanders were engaging Clan Smoke Jaguar as part of Task Force Serpent. Combining salvaged pieces of two highlanders and a Dire Wolf, the Fingal's Hound carried an LB10x AC, four medium pulse lasers, an LRM-10 and a massive claymore.

Finished updating the 3150 Bounty Hunter lance. Another real glow-up, if I do say so myself. More pics in the replies. #BattleTech

Four BattleMechs in varying schemes. Left to right, they're a Griffin in leather brown, a Marauder II in bright green, a Warhammer in dark gray with bight green and light gray bands, and a dark gray Loki II with green arms and calves.

Ha! I'm afraid to post my pile. It grows daily. I try to get at least 5-7 painted each weekend, then post one every day.

Painted up a War Dog for my Northwind Highlanders. Great sculpt work by Salvage Drop.

My brother in law makes music! Cool stuff, all very vintage.

This weekend, I painted up this Grasshopper for my Magistracy Cavaliers.

Though she would have been an old woman by the era of the Clan Invasion, I like to think that she would have given Clan Wolf hell when the Silver Keshik and Beta Galaxy attacked her homeworld in 3049.

I think this Firestarter is my favorite mech in the BattleTech: Gothic box. Seemed appropriate to paint mine up as Jenny Umbra of Hecate's Light Lance of the Oberon Guards.

@bishopsteiner.bsky.social drew this fun custom unit (The Thunderbutt) for #Battletech and I decided to make it into a printable miniature. All credit for the concept, art, etc. goes to Bishop Steiner, and the mini I made is up on Thingiverse for anyone to print. :)

When I see the Annihilator, I always think of the Dragonzord, so I finally put them together.

#Battletech #Dragonzord

Front photo of a modified Battletech Annihilator miniature, painted and modeled up to look like the Dragonzord from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, with a silver torso and legs, with gold, green, and red accents. The front face of the hexagonal mini base is painted green and gold. There is a tail added to the back which is partially visible.

The front face of the hexagonal mini base is painted green and gold. The silver tail added to the model is more visible, and looks like the tail from Dragonzord, just made out of modelling putty.

Recently I painted up this "B" configuration of the Naga II to use as fire support for my Raven Alliance Delta Garrison Galaxy. It's not a Bane, but 80 LRMs a turn is nice to have on your side.

I'm leaning toward the Kurita one or the Laio one, but I also dislike the dunce / clown hat Marik one, lol

E.S. Wynn (Ellie_Valkyrie) @ellievalkyrie.bsky.social · 5d

I love the idea, but some of the pieces are super tiny, plus each faction has a different paint scheme.

Ooooh which kit to choose? I may have to read up on these AU factions more.

I recently painted up this "Retrotech Prowler" from Thunderhead Studio as a Panther for my Word of Blake forces. There's a jumping variant as well, but I'm saving it for when I get back into painting Combine forces again.

It's something I started trying last winter with different soups when I ran out of corn starch. I like oats way better. Also, with some soups, I use kale powder or broccoli powder as a thickener.

Since today is Friday Eve, (Salutations to all who celebrate), we don't have to do anything but prep for Friday, right?

French onion soup was a hit! Didn't have everything I needed, so had to improvise a bit, but it turned out delicious. Used brandy and white wine instead of sherry, used oats instead of corn starch (thickener) and rounded it out with a dash of maple syrup. Alex made divine grilled cheeses too!

Me too! I can't wait to read the story and the lore!

Oh, I love that idea!
