Epic paint job but I really like scenery as well.
1N51
Thank you, I scratch built it in summer ?
bigguywhokills
Next time include a Marauder, or no upvote for you. I can also be appeased by a Mad Cat or Warhammer. All kidding aside, great work!
1N51
Thank you, Marauder is in the works. Here's a Timberwolf (Mad Cat) for you: https://flic.kr/p/2kVfvQc

Impressive window work!

Thank you ☺️

Beautiful models, beautiful paint job. Well done.

Where's the Urbie?
1N51
Someone had to take the picture ?
insolentwerp
Trashcan couldn't keep up, he's back securing the dust off point
Yeeeeaaahbuuuoooyyyyy
Battletech in most viral??? That’s a rarity
1N51
I'm so happy, you have no idea ?
kjrrdane
The new Phoenix Hawk looks great.
1N51
Thank you ☺️
HypnoCT
Painted CBT minis! Great job! I miss this game
1N51
Thank you! Time to get back into CBT. The game is alive and kicking thanks to Catalyst Game Labs ✌?
HypnoCT
So I’ve seen lately. I used to paint for the sourcebooks and site back in the early 2000s. Great group of guys were local!
1N51
So you are/were part of Camo Specs Online then?
HypnoCT
Yeah, back in the day I was Chewie ?
1N51
Awesome, I'm CSO, too ?
Nethermorph
Always upvote battletech

Holy shit I never expected to see battletech here. Orion is my king

Thank you! I painted an Orion a while ago, will be shown on camospecs.com later this month ?
drakionx
What are your thoughts on 3d printing?
1N51
Honestly spoken I think they harm the game as the money doesn't go to those pushing our beloved game forward. So I am no friend of printing.
thekeyofe
Yay! Catapult has been one of my favorite mechs for a very long time.
1N51
Yeah, Catapults are damn good Mechs
Pyrolillycherry
Dat highlighting! And base details :D Awesome job my dude
1N51
Thank you mah dude, really appreciate it ?
golddragon2000
I love the Cat as a fellow fire-support pilot. Overall they look great.
1N51
Thank you!
whitebbwolf
they should take the whole book series up til Victor Davion became Präzentor Martialium and turn it into a TV series. gots it all.
1N51
Präzentor you say? Hello fellow German Mechwarrior ✌?
whitebbwolf
cheers. no clue what they re called in the og series.
1N51
??Precentor Martial afaik
TacTheScribbler
I played MechAssault as a kid, and the Catapult is still among my most favorite mechs. Stellar work! +1

Whoa, thank you!!!

As a long time fan of giant robots, these look fantastic. Your painting is good, and you should feel good
DarkRedCape
What a jolly pleasant and encouraging comment. These are absolutely my favourite. And he was right @OP, you did great work.

Thank you!

Well done ?
1N51
Thx :-)
Johnsky
I could try to not upvote marauders and catapults... But I'd just fail anyways, so here's your upvote.
1N51
Haha, thanks
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
Marauder is the best chasis and I will die on that hill
airborne808
but the MAD-II is the same but bigger, bigga mo betta
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
Year but less versatile. Its slowee ah he easy use to hit, and assaults aren't common. They are slow, cumbersome, and specialised
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
So no, it isn't "better", because it costs easy more, ah its it for into less situations =P
RageBaneblade
"On the hill"? Bold choice for someone in LRM range
Starfury42
I have some of the original lead figures on my miniatures shelf - played back in the 80's when this was a FASA product.
1N51
That's freaking cool! And a real treasure!

Damn them some sexy war machines

GhostBear3067
One of my old Battletech demotivational posters was used in that video. I am still riding that high?
RageBaneblade
"If it fits, it works" Time to make a S-SRM boat Catapult, try and stop me
GhostBear3067
Those are really popular in MWO, though lately people have been gravitating towards MRMs.
OddBrock
GadenKerensky
Probably more effective than expected.
aNamelessCreature
Yaaaaassss love me some big stompy robots. I really ought to get back to my btech shame pile
1N51
Yeah! Just do it. Visit us for great canonical schemes on camospecs.com if you like ?
aNamelessCreature
I did have some fellas done up like on your site, Ivaarsen chasseurs. Lemme find the picture
1N51
Awesome!

Yeah battletech is okay
maskedrabbit
I used to collect the cards. Yeah it was a card game too
Digdug83
Tell us how you really feel.
Elonth
was looking at your profile. god damn those are some pretty mech sketches. especially the phoneix hawk IIC
1N51
Yeah, they look like Anthony Scroggins made them. You can find more under his alias "shimmering sword". He also got a patreon with early acc
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
Hell yeah. Pity y free Phoenix Hawk IIc is so bad x_x
Elonth
i love the Phoneix hawk line but i wish they packed a bigger punch than they do.
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
The 8 energy hp one can kick a punch. 8 medium lasers is nasty.
Elonth
i guess what i really want. is a heavy mech in the same vain/design scope as the phoneix hawk. Just upscale it beyond the recon mode
FairweatherHobbyist
I don't know, my best friend and I still talk Battletech with each other since I picked up Technical Readout: 3050 back in Elementary school
1N51
?
FairweatherHobbyist
Don't know if it's ok but I love it even if it isn't.
CommodusLeitdorf
When in doubt...Comstar did it
GhostBear3067
Unless you are in the Taurian Concordat, then when in doubt blame Davion.
Magavyn
Damn space wizards
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
When it doubt - FUCKING CAPALLENS NOT AGAIN
FelixG
When you name your kid after the goddess of death, what do you expect to happen?!

It's fine.
Mechman13
It's an acceptable franchise
Mechman13
The robot things are okay I guess
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
I GUESS it's okay. I domt know much about the Amaris civil war or the clan invasion or the word of black jihad or the first successio-

I we talking MechWarrior or HBS BTech? I'm a fan of the turn-based.
TurduckenMcNugget
I'm loving the turn based one. Played Crescent Hawks Inception back in the day but everything after that were RTS or MechWarrior style
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
Or both. I've probably played some of the games
Noobaliciou5
No urbie? Heresy!
1N51
Haha
RageBaneblade
You can't curbie the Urbie!

That catapult is sexy.
1N51
Thank you ☺️
NairouTryyshokk
I love my LRM's
clutch26
I tried gauss rifles before but LRMs are the bee's knees. Don't leave home without 'em!
Stefnos
nothing like killing people the other side of a mountain ^^
NairouTryyshokk
Aww yee
RageBaneblade
Direct fire, indirect capability, LRMs got it all!
SomeDetroitGuy
I will say - this lance is going to have some issues in close-in fighting, in areas with lots of terrain, or against fast short-range mechs.
SomeDetroitGuy
Your mechs are all rather long-range so something that can get up close to them is going to wreck shop. They would be great as a compliment
SomeDetroitGuy
in a company to a scout lance and a front-line battle lance.
Daarst
Unless they're not exactly WYSIWYG.
GadenKerensky
Well, they ARE Wolf's Dragoons. Makes sense they'd prefer ranged combat.

Kurita ??

MektaSatakOz
Would you prefer Capellans? Or even Wobbies?
1N51
For a Wolf's Dragoon everything is better than Kurita and Jade Falcon ?
EvillBob
I like the barrels on the Marauder II's arms. Really well done there. Though the barrel on the shoulder mount bothers me.
Sturdycrotch
Looks like a post PPC or Gauss Rifle fire effect to me
1N51
Large laser :-)
Luxomancer
That would be the MAD-4A
1N51
Excellent! Yes, it is indeed.
1N51
Thank you. What is it that bothers you?
OphelianAshe
I think I see what they mean. You've gone for a blued-metal look 'cause of the autocannon flame, right? Looks more laser-glowy
1N51
It's a large laser :-)
OphelianAshe
Ah I see. Blue Lasers are always good. That might be what's bugging them, then. I've only played the video game, but that should be auto?
1N51
There are many variants of the different Mechs. This is the MAD-4A variant of the Marauder II: 2 PPCs, 2 medium lasers and 1 large laser
BloodLegacy
Can't speak for him, but for me that the blue extends back around the lip of the barrel.
1N51
Hmm, that's supposed to be the heat blueing but know that you mention it there's indeed not enough contrast between the laser and the barrel
BloodLegacy
Yeah, for that you might want a deep, dark cobalt blue distinct from the brighter indigo of the LLas lens, (I think that's a LLas).
BloodLegacy
If its a PPC, just a black muzzle. Well done with the drybrush highlights.
BloodLegacy
The blue and green of the LLas and MLas on the arms is super clean though.
SirBillyMays
Currently playing thru Mechwarrior 5 on xbox cuz it’s free. I get snippets of nostalgia for MW2 once in a while.
GhostBear3067
I really wish I could figure out how to get MW3 working on my current Windows 10 computer?
1N51
MW2. My true love ❤️
VigilVII7
I see MW5 pop up occasionally, is it worth it? Played MWO a little but I didn't like the microtransactions, loved the mechassault games tho
1N51
To me the controls on console (I have an XBox) are meh. The game is quite good though
donorkort
It's... okay modded. Wouldn't touch it on consoles. Bad AI, uninspired story, but if you want to pilot familiar, stompy robots, it's okay.
hamdensoedefraslayer
I'd say it's still a work in progress, but it has come some way since vanilla - especially now that they added hand-to-hand combat.
