Battletech painting: Eridani Light Horse/generic SLDF
The practical wargamer in me is always thinking about force composition and game compatibility. This group of mechs was painted to be usable either as a generic First Star League force, or the Eridani Light Horse mercenary company (which descended from a Star League unit and kept the same paint scheme). These were all 3D printed miniatures bought off various online stores: there's always a bit of a hit and miss with ordering from various printers, and in this case, the Locust was a fantastic model, with a very squarish, real-world Cold War look to it, while the Catapult is a non-canonical version that I nevertheless found very interesting with its rounded LRM launchers. Instead of building a particular Lance in mind, I'm going to amass a range of mechs from which I can make various Lance compositions as needed: there are 3 Medium mechs that can be skirmishers/strikers, one long-ranged mech for bombardment, and a Light mech to act as a recycle/spotter unit. First up is the Locus...
