scarcer, Cool! Finally picked up my first TT box and have been thinking pretty hard about a paint scheme.
ChoccyMilk, I've been playing MW5 with some mates and were playing as a fictional mercenary group we called Ironclad Company. I decided to follow in that vein and try and think of a scheme that could suit them.
I found Duncan Rhodes draconian combine tutorial super helpful and substituted my own colours in. Games workshop's website has a great recommendation system where you can pick a single colour and it will automatically recommend others that go well with it.
Good luck on your journey!
scarcer, Awesome! I have a soft spot for the Wolf's Dragoons Zeta Battalion so I'm stuck between their colors or coming up with my own scheme.
Seriously though, it's a crazy read: https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Zeta_Battalion
ChoccyMilk, Why not both!? You could always have a mix of both to play against! 😁 I know my plan is eventually to have an IS company and clan Trinary to pit against each other
I'll have to check it out, cheers!
ProfThadBach, I have started getting back into it myself. I wish I still had my old minis from back in the early 90s.
ChoccyMilk, I've not really had any exposure to the TT game short of BattleTech on PC but I was a huge MechWarrior 2 fan back when I was a kid which has persisted ever since.
Definitely enjoyed the couple of small TT games I've tried though!
j4yc33, These look pretty great!
ChoccyMilk, Thanks! It's definitely got me back into an old hobby I used to enjoy! I've backed the mercenaries set so there's definitely more on the way! 😅
j4yc33, That Kickstarter was epic though! I think I got most of the add-ons as vehicles because I have no where near enough of those!
Do you play as well? Or do you prefer only the hobby aspect?
ChoccyMilk, I was massively impressed! I got mostly IS boxes as I've only the starter set and I've yet to dip into the clan stuff.
I've played a couple small games with my partner(1-2 Mechs each) but we're a little space limited to have a full sized play area. I'd say I'm more into the hobby aspect but definitely not limiting myself to just that. :) What about yourself?
j4yc33, I deffo enjoy the hobby aspect of it for sure, but for me Alpha Strike is where it's at! My kiddo (9) and I play a fair bit of hex-based Alpha Strike. Other than that, not a whole lot. I do miss long games with a star or fewer mechs, but there's something to be said for seeing a good 8v8 or bigger match taking place.
