Here are my 12 medium mechs for the Federated Suns faction, at least until the Battletech: Mercenaries kickstarter is delivered. By row, from back left, back to frount: Shadowhawk, two Wolverines, Centurion,Enforcer, Bushwacker, Phoenix Hawk, second Enforcer, Blackjack, Hatchetman, second and third Blackjack.
Federated Suns is the faction that has consistently used the 45 ton Blackjack mech from the early succession wars to the ilClan era. Therefore I wanted three of them available. By having multiples of favored House mechs, I wanted to ensure I would not have a vanilla group of mechs in each faction. This fits the setting of the game more.
The 55 ton Bushwacker is a good utility mech favored by the Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth. It is also a new mech that was put into service during the Clan Invasion era. The 45 ton Hatchetman was one of the first mechs with a melee weapon in the game and is more common with the Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth factions, although the Draconis Combine uses it too. The 45 ton Phoenix Hawk is one of the original mechs and used by all factions as a heavy scout and striker mech.
The 50 ton Enforcer is almost exclusively used by the Federated Suns. It is a good utility mech. The 50 ton Centurion has great long range offence and is common amongst all the factions, more so with the Federated Suns.
The 55 ton Wolverines and Shadow Hawk are common amongst all the factions. Both are good utility strikers, due to their speed and jump capabilities. The Wolverine has slightly more variants through the eras with Federated Sun, so I painted up two of them for this faction.
Their paint scheme is a combination of my original here and additions here.
