It's even better than that. They brought in a media darling to draw attention as the pilot, carefully staged every part of the public demo to maximize the theoretical kill count against SDLF equipment, publicized the HELL out of it, and then declared the Mackie proprietary SDLF tech so the house...

If you pay attention to the setup for the Mackie and the pageantry around its public trials though, the damn thing is either the dumbest boondoggle a Cameron ever wasted cash on or the ultimate 5-D chess move of Solar League politics.

Jacob Cameron, Mr Funky Fresh in the flesh. The assassination attempt was probably orchestrated by the members of the Amaris clan he cucked. Which was probably all of them. Just look at that beast, the literal definition of a sexual tyrannosaurus.

The problem set in when characters were discussing political systems through the lense of growing up during the Succession Wars, and Speaker was essentially accused of being a fascist by virtue of having characters who were raised in a Feudal Monarchy being squeamish about diluting a system they...

Winged Hussars?

I didn't notice that, partially since I'm more familiar with her cartoon version. I was more focused on colors I thought would contrast more once the paint dried, and the original blonde hair and blue eyes just weren't working for me.

Paint test for the Scourgeland Survivors bundle I got off of Etsy. I usually use the included cheesecake mini in Artisan Guild mini sets to test the pallet I plan on using for the rest of the minis, since I don't really care about them all that much. EDIT: Swapped the original pic out for one...

Almost broke the bank in Mercenaries 5 grabbing a T-Bolt and a Warhammer early. Ripped out the machine guns and the SRMs for armor and Medium lasers as others have mentioned, and my wingman still takes out the trash with it long after the T-Bolt got retired to backup duty.

...Hanz. Get ze flammenwerfer.

And I'm back with more DnD stuff: Gorka the half-goblin artificer and her eldritch cannon Mister Bucket. My first batch of skellies. The molds were kinda basic-bitch looking, but I'm learning that a little bit of paint goes a long way for that kind of thing. My first batch of orks...

That's a solid coat of....Heraldic Red maybe? With some glossy enamel sprayed on top to keep the paint sealed. Reaper makes good paints, and I suck at highlighting. I've found that a decently sculpted model and some gloss coat can make enough contours stand out to fake it a bit. Those 2...

Maybe some kind of really dark gunmetal could have worked, but those do look like some microscopic greebles to deal with. The jet black and gold looks pretty sharp, I'm really liking the paint scheme you've got there. Pic tax: Christmas gift I ordered off of Etsy and hand painted for a friend...

The fleecing is entirely from Vicky's perspective. Her supply flow is entirely an OOC issue for the people she's dealing with. Should she bargain harder for the things they expect her to want? Probably, since at this point her nominal employer is convinced she's a spy of some sort or at least...

You can chuck about 120 LRMS a turn from the Kuritan Battlemaster model in the Harebrained game if you screw with mech weight limits. You can also load Urbies with 16 jumpjets and an array of AR10'S or a nuke launcher. Both are glorious.

How do MG's compare between tabletop and Harebrained!Battletech? Because a surprise hatchet to a weak spot in your armor followed by some MG's sandblasting your internals was always hilariously effective for me
