[@rcgunner7086]

Nice, some new targets for my Avalon Hussars.

All these mechs are pretty ppc heavy will your ac's be able to keep up? -John

[@vin3766]

Just wanted to say thank you for the great video. Not to short, not to long and straight to the point. I also appreciated the comparisons with with original mech. Keep up the great work!

[@IONRadio]

Thank you so much for that feedback! I try to make videos that I would want to watch myself. -John

[@acebadgerboy]

Need to try and pick this one up at some point…

[@IONRadio]

It's so hard for me to not buy battletech stuff as soon as it comes out. -John

[@garchila]

These will be divided among the Great Death Legion, and the Free Worlds League.

[@IONRadio]

What regiment do you paint up for the fwl? -John

[@garchila]

The Marik Militia.

[@warlok363]

Just note that the pilot card for that awesome 9q says MAC 3rd regiment but if you compare it to Camospecs or the House Liao book source it is clearly not quite right. Supposed to be a dark copper main color. Unless that changed colors in the ilClan era which I've not seen any published info with such.

[@IONRadio]

After recording this video I was looking into the colors and can't find a match to the art to what has been known on the past. The posters yellow and blue ones have a black triangle and that's the insignia of the 2nd. But that's definitely a new interpretation of the colors from the past. -John

[@warlok363]

@IONRadio From what I can find the 2nd got the dark blue + undefined trim color that varies from battalion to battalion. Without any further insight I've been doing mine in green and will continue to do so.

[@jamesblackburn3269]

Are the minis pre-primed?

[@warlok363]

No.

[@jamesblackburn3269]

Good to know. Thanks! Going to have to wait for some more mild winter weather to prime.

[@IONRadio]

They are not pre primed that grey is the plastic color. Some of the new box sets have a single painted model. That's the star league ones. The paint job is surprisingly good. That box is got in the middle of my move so I didn't have a chance to do an unboxing. -John
