I really didn't like the bases so I cut them off with my bandsaw. Re-based now. Gonna try to bang these out ASAP.

Was that the 50th anniversary one? I got that too.

Edit: Your bases are much nicer.

The multipart Summoner and Hellbringer makes me think that it's the first of the two sets - I used to have that one.

The revamped one with the better minis had the multipart Battlemaster and Timber Wolf and can only be had for silly money.

Damn, now I'm kicking myself even more for missing that one.

I had the first set, but decided to order the second one from Amazon.

Whilst waiting for the set to arrive, I gave the set that I had to a friend as a bribe to get into BT (kept the multipart mechs for myself!).

Turns out that Amazon didn't actually have the stock, so I searched elsewhere and hooooleeee poo, was it expensive! Would have been an amazingly douchy move to ask for the first set back off my mate, I guess...

The new starter box should be on shelves before the end of January. Not as many 'Mechs in it, but they are much nicer.

I'm so looking forward to it. I plan to buy at least 2.

Rebasing those old models really helps as their integral bases were all over the place with shapes and sizes. I used wood putty to level out the hex bases as mine were indented.

Another trick is to paint them in camo, it really helps hide the imperfections in the casting like sunken panels.

Here are some of mine I did in that manner

Very nice. Is it by faction?

No factions. Selected colors randomly. Broke all the mechs down by class. Separated equally.

Bandsaw was key!!!!!
