D gets Italian, Greek, Indian, Thai, Chinese & Japanese food. I'd miss Latin food but what a ridiculous miss match.

Didn't expect to be painting more, but can't have Scorpion Empire without a Warhawk. I love the "C" Variant sculpt.

This Stormcrow was way more frustrating to paint than the Ebon Jaguar or Locust IIC. I think it turned out ok.

Valkyrie Online! I am officially out of models, 7 more need priming (one also needs assembly). Going to run this one as the "C" or "QS5" variant I'm the Hinterlands campaign, leaning towards the "C."

The Penetrator might have the worst name amongst battlemechs, but with well layed out armor, jump jets and a fusilade of energy weapons it makes sense for my Alpine Legions.
