Mech Picture "Kenny Ryan's Lance, The Rock"
These minis were originally intended for the Camospecs Online diorama at GenCon 2020, but the mini-diorama that they were a part of was cut when we re-worked things to accomodate a virtual GenCon (due to pandemic). Represented here are pirate forces on The Rock for a battle with the Kell Hounds during the opening of the Clan Invasion: Kenny Ryan's lance (Ryan's Rebels), including a Griffin, Rifleman, and Panther. Not shown is a Locust that was part of the lance, and would have been destroyed prior to the battle depicted in the diorama (I had originally planned to paint the Locust too, but didn't once the scene was cut).

Mech Picture "11th Lyran Regulars Assault Group"
This is another paint scheme that I like, my interpretation on the LR scheme in the FM:LA. When mindful of variants, this mix of mechs / vehicles can be used effectively in virtually any time frame. The set is: Rifleman, Atlas, Drillson, Banshee, and Axeman.


Mech Picture "Lyran Regulars Fast Attack Lance"

Mech Picture "Arctic Lance"
This is a white / gray arctic camo lance with custom merc insignia. I like how it came out. It contains an Atlas, Goliath, Daishi, and Battlemaster.
