Ikka's junkyard

[Lord_Ikka]

Well, the half-track is going to be placed on the back burner for this month- I've got the Lion, a firestrike servo-turret, 5 Hellblasters, and a Lord-Discordant to paint. I'll probably wind up holding off with it until after Xmas, as I usually get some other stuff then and might have more kit-bashing opportunities. I'll also know by then whether or not my local Necro league is going to be running a Ash Wastes campaign or not, so I can tailor it's loadout if needed (thinking a heavy stubber and then a turreted weapon in the back taken from a Rockgrinder).

Finished up some Battletech stuff, so here's the 2nd Light Armor Company of the Broken Hand Mercenary Corps.

Current set-up is:
1st Lance- 4x Foot Infantry (SRM), 2x Heavy Wheeled APCs
2nd Lance- 4x IS Standard Battle Armor, 2x Heavy Wheeled APCs
3rd Lance- 2x Schrek PPC carriers, 2x Pike Support Vehicles (AC 5)
4th Lance- 4x Cavalry Attack Helicopters
Additional units- 2x Foot Infantry (SRM/Rifle), 2x Pike Support Vehicles (AC 5), Flatbed truck, Mobile HQ

This is the infantry/scout/support company of my Battletech force, which is a mercenary company based out of the Magistracy of Canopus. I'm planning on expanding it to include more infantry/battle armor, more APCs, and some light hovercraft. Right now the whole corps is the size of a reinforced battalion (4 companies), with a heavy armor company, the light armor, and two BattleMech companies, but since I'm enjoying playing Alpha Strike so much and just like the minis, it will probably grow to regiment size sooner than I expect.

That’s one of the few games I’m interested in that the FLGS actually carries. Between you and @Tiny , I’m sorely tempted…. But it’s forbidden fruit…

Ooh nice. They look great.

I’m looking forward to getting the mercs Kickstarter stuff to add some tanks and vtols to my forces as I’m currently all mechs aside from the 2 units of Elementals from the clan invasion box.

I should probably just print some in the meantime.

Taste the fruit! Taste it!

I'm loving playing Alpha Strike for Battletech, its great to have a full company of Mechs/crunchies stomping around. It plus Necromunda have become very much a set of stress-relief games after going too hard into competitive 40k in 9th edition.

Plus, I've been a BT fan for years so I can teach my gaming buddy all the lore.

I'm looking at getting a 3d printer next year, so I'll be printing up tanks/VTOLS/hovercraft when I do. I've already got tons of STLs for the stuff I want, so combining them with the new Mechs that CGL will be putting out from the kickstarter will make me very happy.

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Thunderbolt 5SE and Shadow Hawk, one of which will be entered into a painting comp early next nonth for a non-40k entry. Don't know which one yet.

 

[Lord_Ikka]

My work for the month of November- a little bit of 40k (less than I wanted, but I'm working on a mini-diorama for a painting comp), and a pretty decent batch of Battletech minis.

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Mini-diorama for a painting comp tonight. First time using snow basing, pretty happy with it.

Viking skelly versus Wendigo... this should be a low budget movie from the 60s!

 

[Lord_Ikka]

The Lion, a Lord-Discordant, and some Necrons to round out the year for my 40k stuff. I'll probably post up my overall painting progress later when I have a chance to get all the models out (238 40k/Necro models, plus a boatload of BT stuff).

I suspect some people would be interested in seeing the Frostgrave figures next to the GW ones, for comparison purposes.

I will- didn't have a great area to get pics tonight. They work pretty well as juves, slightly shorter and scrawnier but they look fine.

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Better pics-

 

[Ben_S]

You're right, they mix pretty well, especially if the Frostgrave guys are used as juves.
