Reconnaissance in force

What's really fast and hits like a wet noodle?

So, as you can see I had an idea. Having 3 Mercuries, an Assassin and a Mongoose already painted in desert colors (I sold the Ostscout for a tidy sum), why not expand the mech contingent of my generic desert force up to two full lances? 

Mercuries VII & VIII's numbers had to be spread across both shoulders due to their size.

As such I ordered another Mercury and while awaiting that, I soaked my Goliath Scorpion & Jade Falcon Mercuries in simple green, stripping their prior alliegiances off, so all three could be painted at once when the new Mercury arrived in the mail. 

These can be used as most anything with the following coming almost immediately to mind:

SLDF era Mercs

Early Succession Wars Capellans

Commiestar & the Wobblies (a full C3i Level II of MCY-104s could be scary)

Order of the Faithful (Wobblie equipped pirates)

SLDF in Exile and/or Pentagon Powers (such as the the Sand Confederacy)

If I ditch the Assassin, then they can also be:

2nd line/Operation Klondike Nova Cat Star

Or an entire Sept of The Society using the relics taken from an ancient Brian cache

With so many identical mechs, I thought it prudent to number the backs of their bases as well.
