More Mechs and some droids

More work completed for my Battletech collection. This time it was a 5th lance for my Dragons Fury, these are all Urbanmechs or as I like to think of them as dustbins on legs. They aren't that good in the game but have a certain charm about them. I also completed another Rifleman for a 6th Lance, this is a 3d print provided by Mitch.

For my mercenary lance I added 2 more mechs, both 3d prints from Mitch. They are a Penetrator and a Hunchback, nicely completing the lance.

Now still in keeping with a sci-fi theme I painted up 3 Imperial security droids as I begin to plan the next adventure. These are 3d prints provided by Thom, he even passed on enough parts for another 3 or 4 droids. I did flick through some image for a colour scheme to discover they come in pretty much whatever you like so went for a mid blue to match my security forces.





After these I have a few Quar on the painting table after being inspired after a couple of games to get the last of them painted.

Ground troops

For the planned game next year, Mitch wants the Mechs to be supported by some ground troops, just a couple of mechanised infantry companies and other support vehicles. I had already done the tanks so just the infantry to do. Now to save money I dug into the old lead/plastic pile  for more of the old space marine infantry. 8 bases duly found and painted up. Mitch even provided a few more 3d printed vehicles to act as transports. In keeping with the force colours they are all red with some black to break up the colour.

I'm just waiting for my order of grass tufts to arrive to finish the bases on the infantry. Now I can get back to painting up some more Mechs that have arrived. Looking at finishing a second company and a mercenary lance.
