Finally have all of my Command Lance and Alpha Company painted up been working on them slowly but since I finished reposing the Hollander model I have I decided to finally finish painting the last few models each Lance aside from the 2nd Lance of alpha needed only one model each. The images are in order first Lance is Command Lance “Athena”, 2nd lance is Alpha company Battalion command Lance “Spectre”, the 3rd Lance is Alpha Company second Lance “Spriggan”, and the last Lance is Alpha company 3rd Lance “Mjolnir”.
I had to decal almost all of them though but I’m happy how most of them came out not sure about the Davion symbol on Battalion commanders Hollander but I still like it. The only model of Hollander I run is the Hollander 2 variants as I see it as a more complete all round mech. If you convert the streak to a standard SRM 2 for an extra half ton of armor it is probably one of the best mediums out there. I really like running Tandems is the Srms as a way to crit seek when enemies get a little too close.
A little lore snippet about the Regimental Commander and her Thunderbolt the “Idaho Sally”. The Regiment is lead by Athena Leuders born on New Avalon she attended the NAIS upon graduating her family gave her her own salvaged Thunderbolt TDR-5D which was missing most of the left torso. She would go on to modify the mech with a Gauss rifle in place of the AC/20 in the right torso, as well as an SRM6 where the LRM 10 would have been and salvage the Lasers from a TDR-5s giving the mech 3 medium lasers in the left torso. She would also manage to acquire an AMS that would later be removed. Culminating in the TDR-5IDS “Idaho Sally”. She would serve with the mech during the clan invasion where she would acquire parts to upgrade the mech to the later variant and the one shown here the TDR-7IDS which was fitted with 2 Clan Gauss Rifles in the right torso with some other upgrades but I think that’s enough fun backstory.
Anyways enjoy its probably gonna be a while before I can show of any more companies Bravo barely has a Lance done and Delta and Epsilon only have 3 and 1 mech respectively.
