So I've started making progress on the giant to do list that was the last blog post. First up is the 8th Donegal Guard. I've got the Battalion Command lance and 2 other lances ready for basing material. The Hussar leading 3 Mercuries is my favorite lance of the unit I think. Nice classic pre-3025 mechs with lots of speed for scouting and harassing enemies. There is still a lance to finish off the company in progress and then two more companies of mechs to get painted and based.
Next up is the Caselton Militia. I got a lot of GHQ APC's primered and ready to get their red stripe added later this week. I also got a batch of bases for said APC's to get added onto. I still need to paint the edges of the bases and then get another batch prepped up. There will be 4 platoons for a total of 16 bases so a bit of a ways to go here still. I also need 8 bases for the already painted Pike and Hetzer lances.
And then finally the Ghost Bear PGC got primer coated as well. I'm still not totally sure what color scheme these guys are getting but at least they're primered and ready for it. While having some clan mechs in the unit, there is also a star of 5 Inner Sphere mechs that are Star League designs updated to Clan tech and the sort of non-Omni's that one would expect in a PGC. There is a Marauder, a Banshee, a Gallowglas, and 2 Flashmans. I still need another clan Omni to finish off the rest of the force but haven't found an option that I like yet.
So that's about all I've had time for but some progress beats no progress for sure. Work is going to be a bit crazy for the next couple weeks so finding time to make sure there is progress taking place will hopefully keep me somewhat sane. I'm in retail management and our store just lost a manager to promotion and another is out for maternity/paternity leave so it's made for some crazy work schedules. Once we get past this week and next though, it should get a lot more normal though so it's all not too bad.
So thanks for stopping by all and don't forget I'm still looking for that great idea for getting all my bits organized and stored. See you all next time.
