Federated Suns Heavy Mechs and Modified Paint Scheme

 Here are my 12 heavy mechs for the Federated Suns faction, at least until the Battletech: Mercenaries kickstarter is delivered. By row, from back left, back to frount: Black Knight, Marauder, Guillotine, Orion, Cataphract, Grasshopper, Warhammer, Axeman, Thunderbolt, Rifleman, Catapult, Crusader.

The Black Knight at 75 tons is an old design that has lasted through the eras. The Marauder is a classic 75 ton mech that can intimidate the battlefield with its capabilities at all ranges. The Guillotine is an old design more common in the Federated Suns and Free Worlds League. Although excellent in early eras, it became undergunned until Lostech became available for upgrades.

The 70 ton Grasshopper is a superb short to medium range jumping mech that can maneuver around similar heavy mechs. The 70 ton Warhammer is a classic mech with great long range capabilities that can take a beating. The Orion is a 75 ton mech made in the older era that is good at all ranges.

The 65 ton Crusader is a classic mech that is also decent at all ranges and common with all factions. The 65 ton Axeman is more common with Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth and was manufactured during the Late Succession Wars (Renaissance) era. It has jump jets and newer technology with a melee weapon, but is best at medium and short ranges. The Catapult is a 65 ton mech common through all factions, except the Lyran Commonwealth who gave up on its usage by the time of the Early Republic era. It is a decent long range mech with jump capability.

The 65 ton Thunderbolt is a classic mech with strong long range capability. The Catapract, at 70 tons, was originally a Capellan Confederation mech but the factory was taken by Federated Suns forces just before the Fourth Succession War. It has good capability at all ranges. The Rifleman is a classic 60 ton mech with excellent long range capability that was improved with newer technology during the FedCom civil war.

Their paint scheme is a combination of my original here and additions here.
