Battletech: Inner Sphere Support Lance

The Battletech Inner Sphere Support lance has four plastic mechs: Cyclops, Thug, Spider, and Dragon. I have painted them with my Federated Suns regular paint scheme, except for the Dragon. More on that later.


Cyclops: 90 tons, average speed, Autocannon-20, LRM-10, two medium lasers, SRM-4. Many variants.



Thug: 80 tons, average speed, two PPCs and two SRM-6's. 



Spider: 30 tons, extremely fast and with jump jets, two medium lasers.



Dragon: 60 tons, fast, LRM-10, Autocannon-5, two medium lasers. As the Federated Suns never produced the Dragon mech, I have painted it in Outworlds Alliance 4th Wing colours. The Outworlds Alliance will be my second faction and as it borders both the Federated Suns and Draconis Combine (which two of my friends play) I can use them against them and my Federated Suns for teaching games. The second alliance air wing was my inspiration for the paint scheme. 


Primed black, painted GW Contrast Apocathary White, drybrushed GW Praxeti White, the drybrushed Army painter Matt White. Model was painted Craftsmart Pale Blue, then Cygnar Blue Highlight in the upper 2/3rds, then Cygnar Blue Base in the upper third. Then GW Drakenhof Nightshade wash applied to the entire model and the Craftsmart Pale Blue drybrushed to the lower third again. Cold steel for metal parts, Arcane Blue and Matt White for cockpit windows, Cygnar Yellow for missiles, Khorne Red base for lasers was applied. Then a Pedeo acrylic matt white marker was applied to upper third in lightning shaped lines then a Pentel silver pen applied to those lines for bright lightning.
