Start of a new faction

So as I painted my way through the Battletech collection, I decided that I would need at least 1 other faction. I decided on a mercenary company. Now I have already done a single lance of mercenaries but I wasn't sold on the colour scheme. So a new faction needs a new colour scheme. I went for black with little flashes of silver. I always like the look of black on vehicles, it can look really nice when finished.

So I pulled together 5 mechs that I had left over, another 3 will be used to complete the Dragons Fury collection to bring them up to 2 full companies. So we have a Raven, Enforcer, Guillotine and two Banshee's.


Raven

Guillotine

Enforcer

Pair of Banshee's

The Banshee's and Guillotine will form the basis of an assault lance. I did try to do some of the edging with a light dusting of silver, doesn't show too well in the photos. Another advantage of this colour scheme is I can use some of the 6mm infantry and vehicles that I had already painted, saves a bit of work. Now I just need to come up with an appropriate name for the company

    1. That's the issue with new projects, they can quickly take over and get out of control

  2. I imagine mercenary mechs are quite expensive. 😀
