I might face Ghost Bears next week with these miniatures.

I know it's almost suicidal to go against clans with IS mechs, I don't expect to win any engagements (being a mediocre general doesn't help). If I do, however, by sheer luck, take any clan mech down, you can bet I will buy that miniature and paint it in my colours, as battlefield salvage. I can't wait! I hope clanners bring lots of cool clan mechs for me to drool over and try to take out.

By the way, I just learnt that catapults of 3050 can carry Arrow IV artillery missiles. Should I give them a try?

And on a side note, I hope many Ghost Bears look into the barrel of the the Gauss Rifle in this Highlander.









Only the Stalker to go! (one of my favourites, aesthetically)

Very nice indeed. I do like the MWO Stalker myself and u did a great job painting it up. Hope to see your entire company pic soon!

I have been able to take pictures of the company I painted during the last months. Here it is, the twelve mechs of my mercenary company taking control of a spaceport in the early stages of a planetary invasion. I am eager to have a chance to use these miniatures in a real game soon.

Honestly, when I started painting, I thought the Awesome and Orion would become my favourite mechs (Due to the lack of a Hunchback, that mech is a real beauty) but the Stalker has stolen my heart.



























Maybe in a far future (a year or two from now, due to lack of funding) I'll be able to add more mechs to my mercenaries. My current plan includes:

-A new lance with a light (Commando), a medium (Blackjack), a heavy (Rifleman) and an assault mech (KingCrab). I will still have no hunchback :_(

-A clan binary, composed of: Puma/Adder, Ryoken/StormCrow, MadCat/TimberWolf, Blackhawk/Nova, Gladiator/Executioner, Uller/Kit Fox, ShadowCat, Thor/Summoner, Ebon Jaguar, and, of course Daishi/Direwolf

It is my intention to paint the clan mechs in mercenary colors as captured/salvaged equipment (unless any of you can suggest me a better scheme, I did not intend to marry myself to any clan and single galaxy, since I do not know their lore extensively, but if you suggest a cool galaxy with great lore -I tend to prefer non-elite units- I can be persuaded)

It is, to a certain extent. I always loved how clean the Lyran Guard scheme looked, with the asymetrical dividing line, and I wanted to emulate it. I love orange and black, and they happened to be the colors oposite the Steiner used, which seemed fine for a Marik based mercenary company!
