So, I've finally begun amassing my own collection of metal/lead Battletech miniatures, while steadily painting the plastics that came in the intro set (Crucis Lancers and Sword of Light). Now, remember a bit ago, when the whole 'sign up for be a miniature in my army' craze was going on? Yeah, I'm going to borrow that.

My metal miniatures are going to form a personal Merc company, 'Sharp's Irregulars', based in the Succession Wars era (no silly Clans for me!). The idea behind the Irregular's is that they're just that - a ragtag collection of drifters, outcasts, and other semi-undesirables. Thus, each Mech is going to have it's own, personal paint scheme. The Irregular's are also pretty liberal when it comes to Lance formation - they'll group together in the most advantageous way when possible.

So far, the Irregular's have 7 members:

Nathanial Sharp - BLR-1G Battlemaster (Unseen) - Blue and Gold
Damien Thule - SHD-2H Shadowhawk (Unseen) - 2nd Davion Guards RCT
Kentaro Miyoshi - WHM-6R Warhammer - Sword of Light
Xinyang Tang - RFL-3N Rifleman - Yellow with purple trim
William McCullock - HGN 732 Highlander - Red/Black, with blue/green tartan
David Subal - GOL-1H Goliath - Tan, blue, orange, black
Robert Solar - MAD-3R Marauder - Clan Sea Fox

And here's a list of the rest of the Mech's in the outfit:
GHR-5H Grasshopper
ZEU-6S Zeus
HBK-4G Hunchback
HGN-732 Highlander
PNT-9R Panther
AS7-D Atlas (Lead!)
BNC-3E Banshee
HCT-3F Hatchetman (Lead!)
GOL-1H Goliath
MAD-3R Marauder

So, pick a Mech, choose a name for the Mechwarrior, and give me a color scheme, circa 3025-3048, or just make up one of your own!

And, yes, I do know that the above list has a heavy (heh) lean towards assault and heavy class mechs. I'll be on the lookout for more lights and mediums in the future.

To bad you don't have a LAM in there. Than I would say Sam Witwicky with a red and white paint scheme.


GOL-1H Pilot David Subal, Paint scheme Tan, blue, orange, and black. Paint it up like an old beater pick up truck. You know the ones that have like seventy different colors on them and not a single matching panel. Usually found being driven buy some old guy in overalls.(haha)

MAD-3R Robert Solar

Not sure which Division it was off the top of my head, but there was a group of Diamond Sharks that kept the Sea Fox colors before they changed back. As a die hard Sea Fox/Diamond Shark, I'd love to keep the tradition alive.

I like what I'm seeing so far.

However, does anyone have a picture/guide of the Sea Fox scheme? My google-Fu is not strong enough to find anything.

Sorry I haven't answered your PM, I'm busy going through my massive Bookmarks list from 3 computers looking for it.

I was able to find this...
