The Zhodani Commando: Battletech: Dawn Guard

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.

Battletech: Dawn Guard

It's been almost a year since I expressed interest in painting up a new Battletech unit for Alpha Strike called the Dawn Guard. A House Davion unit. The color combination really grabbed me.

So I have painted up a whole company this past week and I did them in a quick slap dash dirty look. Just wanted to get them on the table. They turned out better than I thought so I can't wait to get them on the table.

I had a little trouble taking the pictures as my light setup caused the yellow and white to reflect back and made it hard to focus. I muddled through and got them pretty decent.
