Clan Jade Falcon Omega Galaxy

 o/

Blinded by the light!

I painted these awhile ago and sadly didn't take photos of them when I did. Thanks now to daylight savings, its usually dark when I get home now from work. When I took these pics in my basement this evening...well, you can see just how lousy the lighting down there is. Indeed it took a lot of tweaking to make the photos not look completely dark or any more horribly washed out then they currently are.

This star is another of my son Frankie's Fast & the Fragile...Furious units. The pair of Howlers in back are the slowest mechs in this star (as is befitting of light fire support units) clocking in at a mere 14" of movement in Alpha Strike! While he likes the speed he was incredulous when he noted that his star contained a total of just 15 points of armor and structure combined!

I swear that it felt like the dopey little van on this base took as long to paint as the mech itself did!

That said, they faired quite well in their battlefield debut against Screech's...unpainted mechs. I forget what he was playing (clans of some sort I think) as it was a few weeks ago and its easy to forget when everything is bare plastic. I don't recall who won that game though my Goliath Scorpion star was almost wiped out early on as despite being more resilient. The problem with teaming up with a bunch of little speed demons like these, is that you end up being a lot easier to hit!
