My Company of three Jump Infantry platoons ready to assist my Mercs in taking down clanners, pirates and anyone who pissed off their employers.

The heavy/standard APCs are indeed the Colonial Marines APC, tried my best to colour match to the movie but the green is a bit darker/richer.

Also I free handed the Colonial Marines icon on first Platoon, I think I nailed it.

Second platoon is "Lambda" Platoon.

And third platoon is just 3rd Platoon, has the Merc unit logo (Mori Clan Crest/Kamon. A Japanese clan during the Sengoku Jidai).

The lance's for my 1st Fusiliers Company are arranged by colour stripes/flash.

Command is Gold.

Fire support Lance is Purple.

Striker lance is Black.

Trying to think of a name for the Company but can't really settle on any that don't sound... too on the nose or lean on the Canopus and Magistracy memes.

Anyone have any ideas?

On Gold lance I put pin up decals. The Archer has a red moon with two goth style Geisha twins over it with the words double trouble under them.

The Wraith has a piranha games Fairy from the pin up #3 selection.

The Warhammer has a cowgirl(gunslinger type) from the #1 piranha pin up decal sheet.

And the Mad Cat has, a cat girl, specifically the one from the Canopus Cat house casino and buffet stickers from Astray3. With the words "Mad Cat" under her.

My clan/Empire Binary vs a Company of Mercs (The Sapphire Skulls), goal for my Seeker and Alpha galaxy stars to clear the field and find a SLDF relic, as shown in a necrosia induced vision.

Outcome: inner sphere victory, both of my Stars got bloodied and had to flee the battle after taking to many casualties.

Highlights: My opponents Spider hounded and follwed my Nova Prime for the entire game, was a fun cat and mouse side event.

My Atlas went fisticuffs with a wolf Hound, the light mech got folded but managed to jam it's fist through the engine of my atlas, which in turn did enough damage for a follow up shot from Eris to take it down.

My dasher was encircled after a daring rear attack to a Banshee. There was nothing left but a smoking crater where my dasher once was. in response. Lol.

And my Mad Cat had a shoot out with the enemy T-Bolt both mechs behind partially cover.

The shooting was like that naked gun shoot out gif/clip, those who know will get it.

For a first game I had fun and it was a close match with an early lead for me, now I just need to get a proper match of classic/total warfare in.

The old kitbash, is wider than the basic basilisk and not really well made compared to my other kitbashes.

And now that I have a HH basilisk that I can run as also a thunderer tank destroyer or leman russ vanquished, I am thinking about transforming my kitbash into a chimera, or something analogous to it.

While I appreciate the effort I took to make my kitbash I know I can do better now.

Do you my fellow gaurdsman think my old kitbash can be remade?

Would a chimera be a wise choice, is there another vehicle I could redo it as?

Please let me know, this has been in my head for a while now.

Also I don't have any paint remover and I varnished that kitbash, I might just re prime it and paint over but I think I might just chip the paint off slowly.

The best painted mechs so far that I have done i think ate the Seekers with the Delta Galaxy Camo Scheme from when they were still Goliath Scorpion.

Though I am very happy with the bases for my FedSuns, while a bit messy the free handed streets look great at a distance.

Also it was fun free handing the 1st crucis lancer logo on all the mechs for the Davions. The Davion Star/coat of arms on the Pheonix Hawk was also fun to free hand i think it turned out great.

Any advice or input on how to get better at freehand art besides constant practice?
