Battletech Models: Jade Falcons

In last week’s post I talked about the Battletech Aces: Scouring Sands campaign box. In it, the antagonist are Clan Jade Falcon remnants and there are seven mechs in the box. While I was painting those, I was also painting the rest of the Jade Falcons I own. Here they are in in a bunch.

    Here is the paint scheme I used and all paints are TTCombat unless otherwise stated: primed with black spray paint, heavy dry-brushed with DecoArt Rainforest Green, dry-brush with Mantis Green, and lightly dry-brush with a mix of Putrid Green Pus and Opulent White. That done I used Cold Green wash over the entire mech. Then I painted various panels with Tuscan Yellow, the area near weapon muzzles or ports Black and the weapon muzzles and ports were painted with Folded Steel. Lasers painted Sports Car Red. PPCs and Jump Jets painted with Midnight Blue, Light Azure Blue, Opulent White. Cockpit windows painted Summer Orange then with light lines of Boo Yeah! Orange with a coat of Army Painter Gloss Varnish. For the base I painted it with Dollarstore black then applied Green Stuff World Texture Series Dark Earth. This was dry-brushed three times with Tivoli Brown. Green Stuff World Martian Tufts in Neo-Titan Orange were placed on the base. The sides of the base were painted with Dollarstore black, front and back of the bases painted Citadel Dry Praxeti White, and the front and back of the base was painted Opulent White. Lastly a Sharpie marker (fine tip) was used to write the name of the mechs on the front and back. If there were more than one of the same mech in my army I marked the sides with dots so I can mark the damage accurately.

    Here are the Light Mechs: 2 Fire Moth, Howler, 2 Fire Falcon, Locust IIC, Mist Lynx (Koshi), Incubus (Vixen), 2 Cougar.

    Here are the Medium Mechs: 2 Battle Cobra, Shadow Cat, Black Hawk (Nova), Conjurer (Hellhound), 3 Black Lanner, Vapour Eagle (Goshawk).

    Here are the Heavy Mechs: Rifleman IIC, Hellbringer (Loki), Thunderbolt IIC, Summoner (Thor), 2 Night Gyr, Timber Wolf (Mad Cat).

    Here are the Assault Mechs: Marauder IIC, Turkina, 2 Bane.

    Here are the mechs available to the Jade Falcons during particular eras. I chose the mechs in this faction to never fail out of use up to and including the IlKhan era (3151+). The Early Succession Wars (2781-2900).

    Added during the Late Lostech era (2901-3019).

    Added during the Late Renaissance era(3020-3049).

    Added during the Clan Invasion era (3050-3061).

Added during the Early Republic (3081-3100).

    So there's my Jade Falcons faction. It does not include the vehicles nor Aerospace, which I'm going to be painting in generic colours for use in all my factions. I'll do a separate post once those are done for what is used in the Jade Falcons faction and in which eras.
