More Progress on the Arkab Legion

So I'm continuing to make good progress on the mech portion of my Arkab Legion that is getting most of the miniatures from my Catalyst Games Battletech Mercenaries Kickstarter. Picking up from my last post, the next two mech lances received their camo and metal highlights as well as their Nuln wash layer.

After that, the last ten mechs this unit is getting for now got their base paint layer of the Vallejo Dark Sand.

They also received their camo splots and metal highlights and then finally their wash layer as well.

At this point I'm heading into the basing of the unit. I completely finished one of the Ostscouts first as a trial version. Using small oak tree limbs that are regularly on my front porch and laser cut foliage from Gamers Grass, I'm making palm-ish trees. The rest of the basing is a medium grit sand and then painting the base edges with Vallejo Tan Earth.

At this point I've got three lances with their tree trunks in place. Next up with be getting the sand and paint added to the base. I'll be doing the foliage part last as I didn't do it in that order with the test model and I ended up reapplying the large leaves multiple times as I moved the model around to do the other parts.

So that's where I'm at for the moment. I'm hoping to get the basing done over the weekend which will let me start painting vehicles at the beginning of next week. Hopefully making regular progress will keep me on a schedule of posting to the blog regularly which I was quite bad at for most of this year. See you all next time and thanks for reading!
