While it may be silly, merch catalogues are one of my favorite things in the WWF magazines. To me they’re so fun to flip through.

my absolute dream song for 5sos to cover is I am australian by the seekers. maybe because it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever and and such a motivator for decolonisation but I’ve never heard a version of it I’m truly happy with. so imagine 5sos do cover it. and we get to decide who sings each verse (I just really want an excuse to do a poll okay, maybe polls about covers are my brand).

here are the verses for reference:

I came from the Dreamtime, from the dusty red soil plains… (not included in the poll, I’ve already assigned it to calum)

I came upon a prison ship, bound down by iron chains… (luke/ash/mike)

I’m a daughter of a digger… (ash/mike/luke/skip)

I’m a teller of stories, I’m a singer of songs… (mike/ash/luke)

I’m the hot wind from the desert… (ash/all take turns with the lines)

full lyrics under the cut after the poll

I came from the Dreamtime From the dusty red soil plains I am the ancient heart The keeper of the flame I stood upon the rocky shore I watched the tall ships come For forty thousand years I've been the first Australian

I came upon the prison ship Bound down by iron chains I fought the land Endured the lash And waited for the rains I'm a settler I'm a farmer's wife On a dry and barren run A convict then a free man I became Australian

I'm a daughter of a digger Who sought the mother lode The girl became a woman On the long and dusty road I'm a child of the Depression I saw the good times come I'm a bushy, I'm a battler I am Australian

We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We'll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm a teller of stories I'm a singer of songs I am Albert Namatjira And I paint the ghostly gums I'm Clancy on his horse I'm Ned Kelly on the run I'm the one who waltzed Matilda I am Australian

I'm the hot wind from the desert I'm the black soil of the plain I'm the mountains and the valleys I'm the drought and flooding rains I am the rock I am the sky The rivers when they run The spirit of this great land I am Australian

We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We'll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian

We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We'll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are We are Australian

I am, you are We are Australian

A Bushwacker I painted in my mercenary scheme- I got a bit sucked in on this one and really poured on the extra detail. Love how much of a 'contraption' the 'Wacker is.

elviess part 2

i know one or two of these aren't like the others, but Knightmare still had the ears, and Head rush is clearly a Goliath drow.

i meant to draw Bushwack with different ears but I already lined it so here's a bonus doodle

Finally painted my first full lance for Lancer’s Finest, and my first lance that I’m proud of for quality reasons rather than quantity reasons

4th Order of St. Michael

Formed: 3061

Disbanded: 3070

Parent Command: LAAF (Nominally)

An on again off again tradition from the world of Hesperus II, the Stellar Order of St. Michael is a martial organization of Catholic mechwarriors who seek to uphold feudal revivalist chivalric ideals, drawing heavily from the Lorix Order, while protecting the interests of the noble house Brewer, Duke of Hesperus. Mechwarriors of the order are typically drawn from the planetary nobility of the region and pledge themselves in 20 year tours. While the Order of St. Michael has a reputation for being a fanatical and individually well trained force in the field, their lack of tactical acumen is legendary- as of 3151 the Order has been disbanded due to near total combat losses six times.

The 4th Order of St. Michael was founded in 3061 by Gunther Brewer-DuChambe in the aftermath of the Great Refusal and rising sentiments of martial patriotism following the Second Star League's victory over the Clans. When the Federated Commonwealth Civil War broke out, the Order threw their lot in with the Lyran Alliance, participating in the Fifteenth Battle of Hesperus II in 3065 as well as actions on Alkaid and Gladius the following year. In 3068, the Order was recalled to Hesperus to deal with increasing raids by Word of Blake forces. On January 26th, the WoBS End of Wisdom annihilated the Order's monastery north of the city of Maldon with a sub-nuclear orbital bombardment as part of Operation STEEL HAMMER. Brewer-DuChambe and a lance of his warriors were not present at the time, having left the monastery for a patrol several days prior. The last remnants of the Order of St. Michael made there way to Defiance Industries' fortress factory on-world and assisted in the defense, fighting to total destruction on February 5th, one day before the planet surrendered.

At their peak, the 4th Order of St. Michael consisted of two companies of battlemech assets and two Union class dropships. This iteration of the Order prefered heavy cavalry machines and fast assault tactics. The majority of the mechs used by the order were models produced by Defiance Industries on Hesperus, though some mechwarriors pledged to the order brought with them heirloom machines passed down from their families.
