my dad painted this :3 “freedom is the right of all mech warriors”

Today is a good day to paint little robots. I don't feel I did a good job replicating the color gradient on the Ghost Bear's Omicron Galaxy mechs, but I tried, lol. Still a WIP, have to add more little details and clean up a few spots.

HT-01HM Ruschia Dande

The HT-01HM Ruschia Dande is a dedicated spaced based variant for long range scouting and quick reaction forces. Whereas the HT-01SR Ruschia Nana balances mobility with reliability to achieve a minimum entry level space combatant, and the later HT-03 Colancére would focus on maneuverability and high cost performance as a space superiority fighter, the Dande instead strives for pure endurance and speed. The most striking feature are the extra large fuel tanks that have replaced the legs, which in turn can be equipped with smaller, ejectable boosters (though ejectable rocket powers can also be equipped). The Dande also was the first Ruschia variant to standardize the squared off backpack that would later become preferred by more skilled pilots, though rarely did they equip the binders the Dande are known for. Additional sensors are built into the chest and an extended range communication ridge adorns the mobile frame's head to help facilitate its scout role. In lieu of more energy hungry weaponry, the Dandes typically sortie with anti-frame bazookas for range and mobile shield knuckled variants for melee. If a pilot does sortie with energy weapons, they'll usually be large enough to house their own generators, such as a plasma edge halberd vs a plasma edge sword or axe.

Partially inspired by the Dra-C from Gundam and the GER-WALK mode for the Valkryie from Macross/Robotech.

"Test Vehicle One to Control, ready for final checks." Colonel Kinkaid said. Despite the prototypes immense size, the Mackie's cockpit was immensely cramped for all the diagnostic equipment that had been stuffed in it, as well as the bulky interface helmet he wore. Everything hummed with the quiet vibration of the fusion engine buried in shielding a few meters below his feet.

"Control to Test Vehicle One, T-minus 30 seconds, begin final checks. Reactor online. Sensors online. Weapons online. All systems nominal." The voice of the officer in the control room responded back over the radio. "Weather forcast for Yakima Valley Proving Grounds is 21 degrees and sunny, perfect for making history. You're free to proceed to the test range, Colonel."

"Roger." Charles Kinkaid responded as he pressed forward on the foot pedals. Around him, the mech reacted- myomer bundles tensed and loosened, armor plates slid across each other, the great gyro in the mech's core joined the hum of the fusion reactor- and he felt it through the helmet as a second body. Slowly, the Mackie lifted one gargantuan foot and placed it down in front of the other. Then again and again. The mech baby's umbilicals detached and retracted as it cleared the gantry, leaving Kinkaid to walk freely. He turned and stepped out of the hanger and into the sun and history books.

Since most only needed touchups, Able (but not Willing) Company! An all-light company, they are equipped with the scraps the Legion is able to find or pay for with donations. The only one with a mech worth a damn is their captain, who pilots the Spider. In the background is an Atlas from Willing Company, which I should have ready to display soon!

Hello mutuals, followers, and non-followers!

This: @ryuuka-neko is ryuuka.

She streams on twitch semi-regularly and plays big robot games, big monster games and normal sized warhammer games! More importantly, she's cool, she screams, she owns multiple swords, she has a cat, and she is a cat.

She is also occasionally joined by a smelly stinky fox creature, and the least smelly, most awesome skitarii guy: me :D

Here's one of my favorite clips from her most recent stream where she and I played warhammer 40k Inquisitor - martyr

Yes. You heard that right. Pepsi *AND* plum sake. Disgusting. And you missed having that awful imagery of Pepsake injected into your unwilling psyche in real time by not watching her twitch streams! That's right, I'm inflicting you with FOMO, otherwise known as the fear of missing out!!!

So if you enjoy watching a clueless cat thing attempt to play video games while a fox and a cyborg gremlin try to tear each other apart; you'd absolutely love twitch.tv/ryuuka_neko

(Psst, she only needs like 18 or so more followers to become a twitch *affiliate, go follower her on twitch so she can get emotes :3 )

Sunday = game day. Going to kick back and play some Mech Warrior 2 on the Sega Saturn. This was one of the first PC games I ever played and is still one of my favorites on any platform.

The ecology of the battlemech is a thing of beauty.

I love you, Bellumtechnica Gargantoppressi.

Reasons for new...

...'mechs getting invented in Battletech (incomplete list):

We invented a new gun and it doesn't actually fit on anything we currently have, so we need a new 'mech to go with it.

Situation: there are five 'mechs competing to cover a certain role. "Let's make a 'mech dedicated to perfectly covering that role!" Situation: there are six 'mechs competing to cover a certain role.

Oh boy, we (traded for/scavenged/were conquered but got access to/simply stole/etc.) Clan tech, let's see what we can make with this stuff!

Hey, you know [attempted horrible prototype 'mech]? Let's make that, but better this time.

Hey, you know [perfectly functional 'mech made by another company]? We could totally [add/subtract] like, a quarter-ton of armor, change up the name, bam, our own new 'mech.

We've got a war on our hands, a tractor factory, several thousand tons of metal for prototypes and a dream.

We are running low on our stock of [good 'mech], let's build something that's about roughly kind of decent enough to pad out the numbers.

My uncle works for [state army] and he said I can build all the BattleMechs I want, so there.

We made a Superheavy 'mech! A Size 5! A titan of war! Yes it's very practical and actually worth the trouble it takes to deploy it instead of just about twelve regular-sized 'mechs, really, I pinky promise it :)

You see Perry the Platypus, when I was a young boy in Gimmelshtump, the infantrymen would always bully me. Every day they launched their little rockets at me and stole my lunch money and said, "oh, there goes the 'mechjock, there goes the tin can brigade!" And when I stomped on them they would make the least satisfying sounds- you know how, like, with leaves, you always except a very nice sort of crunch but sometimes it's just like a- a- [platypus sound] -yes, exactly, words right out of my mouth! Anyways, it was like that. Now, with my Infantry Obliteratinator 3,151,000, it is I, Perry the Platypus, who will bully every infantryman in the pan-Successor-State Area!

New Battletech minis! Very excited to paint these guys. Also the Battle Armor I got is either the wrong scale or it's signifigantly bigger than I thought lol. Pictured: 2 Schrecks (the tanks) 1 Raptor (the mech) 3 Inner Sphere Standard Battle Armors 6 Standard Infantry (the minis I bought were labled "House Davion Infantry" but I honestly don't know how you can even tell that detail at this scale lol)

Played a ton kf battletech today but the big marquee event was a 15k clan-on-clan engagement for my main sparring buddy's birthday. He brought a star of his Jade Falcon mechs, I brought a star plus some battle armor points of my Rasalhague Dominion forces and we tested myomer against myomer.

He won some early touches, crippling my Adder, Kodiak, and Nova as I pulverized his Night Gyr. The elementals I brought came in clutch- finishing off his Incubus and badly crippling his Nova until the only things left on the field at any sort of combat relevance were his Turkina and Warhawk and my Gargoyle and Helion. I outflanked the Hawk with my big boy and his Turkina went in for a devastating backstab. Enter the Helion

3 LRMs and a medium laser is nowhere near enough to finish off the big behemoth that is Jade Falcon's Danger Frisbee, but its pilot has positioned it right next to a cliff. If I can survive the weapon attack phase and make the check, I have the chance to pull some fire off my Garg while doing something extremely dezgra and extremely funny. The Helion's pilot attempts a push.

*Boop*

The Turkina falls 60 meters, taking 30 damage. The Warhawk fails its fall check, as does the enemy Nova. At the end, three of my mechs are left standing. Hot, beaten, in some cases extremely crippled, but still at a slightly tactical edge. Probably one of the most memorable games I've played to date
