Heavy Metal Menagerie, week 16 (2026 week 16)

This is the last of my force packs from the Battletech Kickstarters, the last week of this mega theme, and the last week for this first leg of this year's goals. As one might have guessed, we have Legendary Mechwarriors III Force Pack and like the last two, I didn't spend all that much time on them. These are all The Bounty Hunter or pals of, the former well-described as the

Dread Pirate Roberts of the Battletech universe. I chose the art variants closest in color to make my job easier and other than a handful of c-bill symbols, they have very few details. The edge highlighting got lost in the two dark green oil washes they got so they don't read as well as I'd hoped. Also, for reasons I don't fully comprehend, the image over there isn't alignable to the top of the frame. Technology; whattayagonndo amirite?

Heavy Metal Menagerie, week 15 (2026 week 15)

This week we have Legendary Mechwarriors II Force Pack and it's weird to have a tanker in there if I'm honest. I am not super well read in Battletech fiction so I only vaguely know who any of these folks are. Like last week, I tried to match the art in the cards which only shows one perspective so probably there's some stuff missing.

Heavy Metal Menagerie, week 14 (2026 week 14)

We're heading down the home stretch now. These are Legendary Mechwariors Pack and I considered doing a lot more work on these than I ended up doing. I did make an effort to match the art that came on their cards but I didn't spend a lot of time on them, either. There's a tiny bit of freehand on the Dire Wolf, particularly a very derpy Wolf Clan logo which is as much as I could be bothered with. Maybe in a world where I'm bored (ha!) and have a lot of spare time (ha!) I'll go back and make a real effort.
