Project V/26

Monkey business

The Mercenaries KS included a box, Clan Ad Hoc Star, that had a definite Clan Fire Mandrill 'Mech in it. This started sounding dangerously like my collection getting another Home Clan unit in a short timeframe, instead of going on with my Invading Clan stuff.

Howler needed four friends but nothing screamed Fire Mandrill to me. One of these weeks I encountered a post in the BT forums that listed different units for them, and this post lit up the idea lamp. I had a bunch of old Light/Medium minis that I had tagged REPAINT when I updated my BTTracker during last summer.

I had then one of my two older Fire Moths, and all three Kit Foxes on the table. Each of them were metallic IWM miniatures so it would be quite a lot like the earlier Diamond Shark operation.

 

A Star in its home world

All four OmniMechs were non-customized and therefore in their Prime configuration. The Fire Moth was just standing boringly, most likely just built straight up. Even those had to stop sometimes. At least the three Kit Foxes had a bit of a variety in their poses, so they weren't complete copies of each other.

Tacticoolly I skipped taking individual photos of these all, and instead just went for my dynamic painting station. Maybe I had a front pose of the unpainted Howler sometime earlier, of the Isorla-quartet I had probably never even shared photos as I had painted them before starting a blog.

Howler

A light one, this thing, armed with three LRM-5 launchers in one single frame. No Jump Jets. 

Fire Moth, Prime

Light and especially with the MASC a rapid bugger. It has two ERMLas in one arm, and an SRM-6 launcher in the oher, and on the same side's shoulder an SRM-4 launcher to top it up. Again, no Jump Jets.

Kit Fox, Prime, 3x

Heavier than the other two, but still a lightweight machine. Each had an LB-5X with an SSRM-4 launcher in the Right Arm, and an ERLLas next to a SPLas in the Left Arm. None of these were Jump-capable.
