Unboxing + painting Death Ray Designs’ 6 mm devastating close-range tank for BattleTech!

I guess I have the patience to wait for the Kickstarter minis to arrive, still got many mechs to paint ;).

[@theredbeardbard]

I like your camo pattern. The DRD minis are great. I love their version of the Karnov transport VTOL

[@almostgoodvariant]

Thanks! I’m no master painter and I’ve actually never done camo before. Decided to just go with something fairly simple that’d fit like a generic planetary defense militia. Sometimes I feel like it’s not that good but it looks OK on the tabletop, so I’m fine with it. If I’d paint mechs with a camo scheme, I’d try to come up with something a little more complicated.

Thanks for the unboxes. I'm not doing the kickstarter and I want little tanks now. Now to look at the MUL to see which ones I want from Death Ray Designs! Do the tanks come with bases or are they separate? Or I could stop slacking and go to the website, lol

[@almostgoodvariant]

DRD’s vehicles don’t come with bases (infantry does, mind). They do sell their own hex bases on their website if you want to order them with your tanks. I have a bunch of random hex bases from various stores that I use.

I can’t wait for Catalyst to ship the Mecercemaries Kickstarter at the end of the year so today I called Deathray Designs and ordered… Halberd Light Tank aka Bulldog Deinos Meduim Tank aka Manticore Pistolier Hover Tank aka LTV-4 Hover Tank Two Myers Heavy Tank aka Burke or Schrek Monarch Missile Carrier aka LRM Carrier Medusa Heavy Flak Tank aka Partisan Tank Collins Command Vehicle aka Mobile HQ I want my ground units and I want them now! I highly recommend Deathray Designs 3D prints made to order.

You’ll be happy with your tanks, they have some great stuff.

[@kcaudle52]

The quality of DRD is great. You will like them I believe.

[@theredbeardbard]

Is it possible to have too many minis? I say, NO! More minis = more fun!

[@StigmaNYC]

@@theredbeardbard More in-depth scenarios 👍

[@inf3243]

These are great designs but I wish they were like half the size.

[@almostgoodvariant]

@@inf3243 they are a bit chunky, yeah. Maybe a third or a quarter smaller would be great. I feel like they scale well with current-day Mechs, though.
