One starter set plus a few other models worth is going to be painted in series colors. This will be used to run Demos.

I haven't decided on the rest yet.

Start of the Regult Attack Squadron. Six Battlepods left to build



This is my new favorite Battlepod so far, I call him Death Leaper.





I've made 4 Artillery Pods




Two of which were made with normal Battlepod legs. Glad they are interchangeable.

Those are looking good. Looking forward to seeing more jump-kicking Mecha. The Gerwalk looks a lot better on the taller flying stand. Good idea!

Which gun pods are you using for the guns connected to the forearms?

It is one of the forearm and gunpod options on the Battloid sprue. They are pretty interchangeable except the upper arm/shoulder.


I think I am going to make Death Leaper his own Character Card, so I think he is going to be a unique build.

Damn!!! You got the antennae on the recon pod! How'd you do that?

As one person who took ~2-3 weeks to get a single Battlecry pledge put together, I salute you! (And pity you...)

It never ends well

Nothing to pity actually. I enjoy building models (more than painting), so I've dived in whole heartily. For the most part its been quite easy, only two models really giving me any issues (Spartan and Quel-Regult), but I like a challenge.

The recon isn't as hard as it looks. The pieces are small, and the one fin like piece was just to fragile and broke. Luckily it doesn't mar the model by not being on.

Its taken me 2 weeks or so to get this far, and I still have 2 Fighters to finish and then missiles to glue to wings. And I am not assembling a full Battlecry yet. I'm only assembling two 200 point armies to run Demos at my local stores. 22 Zentradi models, and 21 UEDF (15 of which are for the 5 Valkyries).

The rest of the Battlecry and the other two Battlecry's I have will take some time... But I am not worrying about those quite yet.

Of course, this is all just Wave 1... Most of my Add-ons are Wave 2. lol

Yeah I am curious of this myself. I plan on green stuffing and using straight pins for the antennae. I have been using Brass rods for my flight stands as I am not a fan of the ones they supplied. To big and bulky. If they had been clear then that might have been a different story. Looking good though.

It took some creative trimming. I cut off the side bit (in the red square)



Then with some liquid cement I melted the piece into the slot, and once dry, trimmed it as flush in front as I could.

FWIW, I built mine the exact opposite way as the OP.

I cut the back of the antenna block by cutting, filing and beveling the edges (that you never see), until the block slid straight back into the hole.

I build with Testor's orange, and I let the glue "sit" for a bit to soften the block before I pushed it into place.

No problem.
