Finally got around to finishing up some Battletech mechs I've had kicking around forever with the Clan Invasion box. I still hate the plastic they use, but I'm pretty happy with the end result. I was given a bunch of Clan mechs, so expect more incoming. #battletech #nerdlings

Don’t mind me, just making a 6mm LEGO Blacktron army. Why? Because I can. For what system? I’ll figure that out later.

Marik Militia Goliath completed! That’s three quad mechs in purple now!😁👍 A lovely update of the Dougram design. Terrain from tnts.games #battletech #housemarik #freeworldsleague #marikmilitia

With everything being on sale, I bought MechWarrior: Clans. The very first thing that stood out to me was how they pronounce “aff”. I had always imagined it with the A pronounced softer like “affirmative” or “appreciate”, not hard like “apple”. More like an animal chuff, “uhff”. #Battletech

This is the first of my personal #battletech merc unit: Blair's Blackbirds! I'll be running them through a campaign set on Galtor in 3025, using ACES and the new Core Rules for Classic. We'll see how it works lol. I'll be writing battle reports and giving my thoughts on the new rules on my patreon

My personal favorite of his, on the subject of learning: “A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way” Sometimes, you’ve gotta be a dumbass to learn.

I have to admit, trying to track down a scheme is really confusing sometimes. By all the insignias, the Phoenix Hawk IIC on the left should be Rasalhague Dominion Omega Galaxy. However the description from Camo Specs on the right is completely different. Anyone know why? #Battletech

This perfectly sums up why I haven’t painted anything of note in the last… oh, let’s say 22 months.

How would you describe your social media reach?

Three decades ago I would look at the miniatures in the old Battletech Master Rules as inspiration. Now, in 2026, my own miniatures are in the new Core Rulebook and my name is in the credits. Feels good man, it's a bucket list achievement for sure. (still got my old book too) #battletech

Did a little photo-mockup of the new Legion of the Damned, I thought they could do with some flame/heat effects coming through the soft spot of the armor. Imagining that the ceramite is barely containing the psychic force of the Damned, so the joints and power pack are almost about to burst.

They just need trimmed, but I kinda love the Sputnik aerials on the Ostwar. #Battletech

tonk! #battletech #miniatures #miniaturepainting

I always forget how little you actually end up using when you build a backdrop. I guess it’s better to have it and not need it. #Battletech

stop hammertime #battletech #miniatures #minaturepainting

do you like tanks with missile ears??? #battletech #miniatures #miniaturepainting #3dprinting #blender3d

Got together with my buddy to play a couple turns of Classic while his daughter was at a birthday party. First game in forever. The Raptor immediately blew the RAC5 off the Argus. In retaliation, the Scarabus put a Golden BB through the Avatar’s cockpit. A hilarious two turns. #Battletech

More testing with the brighter white-gray and richer blue on the Banshee, focusing on the chest/head. I really should have picked a smaller model to test this on. #Battletech

My brain is not cut out for planning a big print construction like this. So many parts! Hopefully I can keep the desk tidier once I finally get it done. Just need to print the last two boxes for the top, then all the inserts for them. #PaintPalStudio #CorvusGamesTerrain #3DPrinting

Finally got revenge on that fekkin Hellcat after like 6 games. That’ll teach him to keep bullying my Panzer III’s. #BoltAction

It’s been incredibly cool to finally catch this whole cycle because of the damn milkweed the infests my front porch. Only two out of the dozen caterpillars I saw made it to butterflies, but I’m glad I got to see them off. #bugs #caterpillar #butterfly

Fork found in kitchen.

Bane from Scouring Sands. This is the first time I've painted without using wash and I'm pretty excited about the results. Also got some great advice on NMM chrome from folks at mechpainters.org! #battletech

Very slow day, so I was able to get some building in. That Fennec’s antennas can go fox themselves though. #Battletech

Still messing with my Steiner scheme, bringing the grey-white up and making the blue richer/less turquoise. I hate that I’m going to have to finish the damn Banshee before I can tell if I like it more. 😭 #Battletech

i just got promoted at the starslayer factory #battletech #miniatures #miniaturepainting

Any folks with kids out there that can suggest a good entry-level miniatures game for an 8 and 10yo? Trying to get my niece and nephew into something simple. This is totally not so I can get one of them interested in painting mini so I can pay them to do it later…

Stopped by Iron Wind today to pick up a few things. Apparently the new Atlas will be delayed, one of the arms on the master has an under-cut that prevents it from being cast properly. They’ve sent for a replacement, but no time estimate. 😢 #Battletech

6mm tank! #battletech #miniatures #miniaturepainting

The first of my #battletech Scouring Sands force, and the reference image from the box art. I'm working on a painting video featuring this mini, I hope to have it up soon!

New previews from Gen Con. Here's the two I worked on: the one with the forward-swept wings is the Clan Chaeronea, and the other is the Steiner Seydlitz.

Whoa, when did they tease these? I found them squirreled away in the “new to the store” tab on Aries. #Battletech

Does anyone else remember these guys? I pretty sure they were in a Chapter Approved after some design contest. It’s almost impossible to find any more info on them online anymore. #Warhammer #40k

Wow! They weren’t kidding when they said Iron Wind had raised their prices! 😆 #Battletech

Cmon, why isn’t anyone selling the Uziel out of the new core box yet? I’m sure there have to be some people selling off the mechs they don’t want right? Right? 🥲 #Battletech

colonial marshals griffin! #battletech #miniatures #miniaturepainting
