Just a nerd who likes to paint miniature giant robots. Wayne Waco was right.

What's on the docket today? More #Battletech DCMS Mechs! This one is a Shiro! It's a beat stick of a Mech with a literal beat stick. 5th Sword of Light colors. #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

#Mechtober day 26 is for Alaric Ward. The less I say about him the better. He does pilot a pretty cool mech though. Savage Wolf/ Mad Cat MK. IV #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

5th Sword of Light Rokurokubi of the proud and honorable Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery. Nope, the DCMS has never done anything wrong or committed unspeakable war crimes. #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

WIP on a #Battletech DCMS 5th Sword of Light lance. Waiting on the oil wash to dry, then I'll punch up the reds some, finish some detailwork and they're done. #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

#Mechtober day 24, Light 'Mechs. While mediums may have my heart, when I'm playing to be an annoyance and not to win, lights are my go-to. Speedy (usually) and some can punch pretty far above their weight. #Battletech #Nerdlings

Some pictures from our #Battletech game at a FLGS last night. A Gunsmith and Solitaire were up against a Nightsky and Berserker and a third player's Rifleman IIC and Blackhawk T. The Solitaire went down pretty quickly to a lost leg, but the Gunsmith survived until the end of the game. #Nerdlings

#Mechtober day 21 is all about the Heavy 'Mechs. The Assaults may get all the glory and the Mediums may be the funnest but Heavys are the troopers. #Battletech #MiniaturePainting #Nerdlings

#Mechtober day 20 is the mighty OmniMech. These avatars of destruction revolutionized the way 'Mechs could change their loadouts on the fly and are definitely one of the funner ways to transport battle armored infantry. #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

#Mechtober day 19. Assault mechs. Kings of the battlefield, as long as you don't run up behind them. There are some iconic assault mech designs out there, and when you need to bring enough firepower to level a city, they can't be beat. #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

Davion Heavy Guards lance. This unit will be part of a raffle at the Games HQ Extra Life event on November 14th if you're in the Oklahoma City area and interested in a chance at owning it. #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

#Mechtober day 18: Medium mechs! When I started playing #Battletech in the previous millennium, I immediately gravitated to assault mechs. Then I moved towards heavies but I finally realized that mediums are where the real good mechs are. Love me some medium mechs. #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

#StarcraftTMG Terran Marine finished. I had some extra bits from Jim Raynor and decided to make me a gung-ho Marine. Figured I'd paint this one up in Terran Dominion colors because they seem a little unhinged. #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

Work on my Rambo Terran Marine has begun. I'm doing this one in Terran Dominion colors. I also got my siege tank primed. Going to be a good weekend. #StarcraftTMG #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

Managed to get in a 1k mineral Terran vs Protoss #StarcraftTMG game last night. Was so engrossed I only remembered to take one picture. The game started well enough until my dice (and definitely not my tactics) betrayed me. Protoss had a decisive win.

#Mechtober day 10 is Eridani Light Horse! I've painted a bunch of these over the years. Very simple scheme but looks great. And you have to love a mercenary command that has enough ties to the original SLDF that Clan Goliath Scorpion said "Mine now." #Battletech #Miniaturepainting

#Mechtober day 9 is elite House commands! Be it one of the Davion Heavy Guards units, Capellan Death Commandos, House Steiner's Lyran Guards, Draconis Combine Sword of Light or the Big MAC from House Liao, they're all storied commands in #Battletech lore #Miniaturepainting

Day 8 of #Mechtober is Wolf's Dragoons. While I may take Wayne Waco's side on them, I can't argue with how influential they are in the setting. #Battletech #Miniaturepainting

Some pictures from a 1k Terran v Terran #StarcraftTMG game last night. Was a lot of fun, wound up a draw. So.mich shooting. I learned that Goliaths are kinda scary but massed Marines can be pretty good. Unless you roll bad. Then they're terrible. #Nerdlings

My entry for the Paint Roulette challenge. I had spots and simple for my criteria, so I did an Exterminator engaging it's Chameleon Light Polarization Shield on an airless grey asteroid. #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

#Mechtober day 7 is for the Northwind Highlanders mercenary company. Here is a lance I painted up, first time ever doing a tartan pattern and it was a lot of fun. #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

Next squad of #StarcraftTMG Terran Marines painted up. The two specialist Marines can swap out their grenade launchers for normal rifles as well. #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

WIP on my #StarcraftTMG Terran medics. Need to punch up the blue, do some clean up on the white, weather the legs and attach the magic healing guns. #MiniaturePainting #Nerdlings

You want a piece of me, boy? First Terran Marine squad finished, can't wait to get some more games under my belt. Until then, the painting continues. Marauders up on the docket now. #Miniaturepainting #StarcraftTMG #Nerdlings

Did a 500 mineral #StarcraftTMG game this afternoon at my FLGS. Terran vs Zerg. It went about as well as I expected it to. I only remembered to take one picture, but it captures how the game went for my Terran forces accurately. Had a lot of fun and I can't wait to play again though. #Nerdlings
