Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Kell Hounds Heavy Metal

 If it's not Kell Hound Heavy Metal, it's not Heavy Metal!

So this is what I worked on this week to take a break from building and painting Orklands Refueled cars.

Battletech has been near and dear to my heart for over thirty years. I love reading the books, their just like all those cheesy western lone gunfighter novels, or those I can solve every crime sleuth novels. I just can't get enough. 

I've really started to enjoy Battletech back in the day when the  BattleForce rules came out. Where you can play company, battalion, and/or regimental size games in the same time it took you to play the game Battletech itself. I've always enjoyed more operational style games, and with the combination of giant robots and operational gaming, what's not to love?

Here are the two Kell Hound mechs I finished this week, one is a Thunderbolt, the other a Wolverine. I also shared a picture of the Lance together. One lance down, and two to go for my Company.

As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

    I like the shading on the feet to comply with the terrain they are on. Helps make them look battle tested.

      Thanks Robert, yeah the light drybrush around the legs sells it I think.

    I like the glazing you did on the cockpit windows. What rules are you going to use?

      Thanks Dave, and Alpha Strike are the rules. It’s what BattleForce morphed into.

      Hopefully, you being an experienced mech jock, you’ll get a chance to command a company soon.
