My Executioner I and Demolisher C won me round 3 and 3rd place in the Iron Gauntlet; and tabled an entire force of Capellans to boot! Kerensky/Blake be praised.

Invading Clans Cover Art Re-Interpretation by Florian Mellies (Spooky777)
GENTLEMAN
BEHOLD
I HAVE PAINTED SOMETHING THAT ISN'T A STORMCROW!
BEHOLD THE LORD HIGH EXECUTIONER
A PERSONAGE OF NOBLE RANK AND TITLE
A DIGNIFIED AND POTENT OFFICER
WHOSE FUNCTION IS PARTICULARLY VITAL
This Battletech Executioner is in the Prime configuration and is painted in the colors of Clan Ghost Bear's Omega Galaxy, the Raging Bears. Shoutout to my trothkin SupaTim.
And a group glow in the dark photo with the Stormcrows.

The next Design by Committee poll will be live on Monday, but until then I could use some help! With 9.5 tons of armor on our mech, we have 16 tons of space left for equipment (at some point I messed up the weight of a 55 ton chassis so a half ton went unaccounted for). Instead of just death marching through a series of polls asking people how they want that allocated in excruciating detail, I figured I'd just ask y'all for your ideas on guns and heat sinks.
Now, some ground rules:
- Total weight of equipment should be 16 tons
- We're making a skirmisher, so this thing should have guns capable of handling a variety of ranges. Make sure your submission has at least 1 gun that can deal damage at 15 hexes or greater and at least 1 gun that can fire at something 1 hex away without penalty.
- The mech should be able to fire all of its guns at least once, so if you decide to use ammunition dependant weapons there should be at least one relevant ammo bin any of them can drink from.
- Tech should be limited to what was available in 3025 in the Inner Sphere.
Interact with this post or shoot me an ask with your idea, I'll take whatever I get by noonish Eastern time Monday and build the next poll. Cheers!
I'd assist but I'm on the lam. My tablet is not the greatest, we're talking Strong Bad levels of capability. Have some Dankbarfest morning WIP for compensation.
I swear that pun wasn't intended.
This weekend's hobby work. Stormcrow F complete, Executioner 75% painted, Icarus II and Wolverine 6M assembled and their bases textured. Sorry for the sub potato picture quality.
Yes, I did use fluorescent paint and glow in the dark pigment as usual.
It's nice when you find someone out there who suffers your particular flavor of brain rot. Met a guy who painted his Axman in the alternate toy colors whereas mine is in the original/tv show colors.
Said guy also had a good chunk of the Starsiege: Rebellion miniatures. We’re going to try it out sometime.

love the idea of a savlar chem dog armored regiment, just a whole bunch of tweakers and crackheads in tanks
Honestly do the Chem Dogs have any real rep in the books? I can only think of the driver from the BANEBLADE series of books from Guy Haley.

Inquisitor Keel—sorry, Rogue Trader Keel—needs an escort when he’s out and about in the Pegasus. What better to bring down the Emperor’s white hot fury on those who would mess with one of His traders than a Leman Russ Executioner?
Front plate, back plate and exhausts, armored side skirts, and bulldozer blade from Blood & Skulls. Decals from Green Stuff World and Ginfritter’s Gnomish Workshop. The Pegasus emblems are nail art decals by Moon Sugar Decals.

And that’s Clan Invasion done and ready to take on the Inner Sphere!

So that’s another mech and a squad of elementals ready to go.
