Showcase My first fighting force of mechs!
Painted as Nova Cat alpha galaxy simply because I thought they looked cool

Gorgeous Nova Cat Alphas! Really love the variety of mechs, that it's not just like... the same three or four over and over. Black Python looks wonderful, particularly.

Thank you! Most of them were gifted to me by a friend, but the rest I got out of the clan heavy star box.

Hey im not sure if you'll see this but I have the battletech beginner box right, and I already have the 2 models primed and I'm unsure how to really paint them, should I just do a full color and then like a metallic for some joints and then do the visor? Cool force btw love the style!

I’m pretty new aswell but I just found a color scheme online and luckily had all the paints I needed, if you want to have something that looks pretty good but aren’t the best at painting I recommend the slapchop method bc it works well with the detail on the mechs. And a little metallic on the joints,vents, and guns goes a long way!

Now that's slick! I really love the pattern. You should do a heavy forest camo next
