And they just keep on coming...

Ironically, the Pegasus is not painted in desert colors, an environment in which it would excel. 

Today I have another lance's worth of tanks for your perusal. Three more for the Desert Horde and a lone Pegasus to flesh out the Marik lance from my previous post. The Desert Horde's compliment includes my last engineering vehicle and a mobile headquarters which, along with my two previously painted J-27s will form a command/support lance for their armored companies. Whereas the Hetzer will just give the Horde its first of these ubiquitous vehicles. 

Originally, I had planned on a desert base for this one, hence the sandy colored dry brushed on dust. 

However, the OD Green splooshed over the edge of the base's rim and I didn't feel like repainting it, so into the weeds this one went. 

All three are sporting different shades of tan. This is also the cleanest of my engineering vehicles as the other two are very muddy. 

The next batch of completed vehicles & infantry

More meat for the grinder.

Here is the latest shotgun blast of the semi random units painted. Most of a Marik Militia lance consisting of a Hetzer, Vedette and Ontos, a lone Drillson for my Turtles mercenaries, and a Hetzer & mechanized infantry platoon for my Dust Devils mercenaries (who already at company strength have oddly not made it onto this blog yet). 

The Ontos is a Marik staple, gotta have one! Also, in the Lostech era, like the fusion variant of the Ontos, Marik also has fusion powered Vedettes which are borderline MBTs. The Hetzer...well, it is probably the vehicle equivalent of the Urbie for me (i.e.: The more the merrier & every faction should have at least one!). Also, my Hetzer collection is in numbers coming close to rivaling my Urbie collection!

Behold, the Dust Devils! Most units in the unit resemble that of the APC for the mechanized infantry. 

I hadn't painted anything for them in quite a while, forgot what I was doing and more or less wrecked the Hetzer's paint job. Rather than strip/reprime it, I just ran with it. Painting mechanicus grey over the bare plastic, and added some more to go with it. Speaking of...

...some Hetzers live charmed lives. Others on the other hand, don't. The Dust Devil' Hetzer looks like it has gone thru a few barroom brawls and somehow made it out the other side.  

Lastly: the Turtles. My Lyran based, assault weight all conventional armor mercenaries. Their lightest weight unit prior to this is a lone Manticore. Well, now they have a viable recon element and being Lyrans, they have the heaviest possible one!

There is currently another half dozen or so tanks and my last mechanized platoon on my desk currently. In case you are wondering, that also includes more Hetzers (yes, plural).
