Heavy Gear: Bashan Mount

I love Heavy Gear. Love the models, love the background. It provides a different Mecha vibe from BattleTech, a different flavor if you will. Anyway, we used the Bashan Mounts for play-testing with Galactic War I over the last year or so.

This figure goes together beautifully, and has the benefit of looking scale neutral, so that you could use it with 12mm (Heavy Gear), 15mm (GWI, Stargrunt, etc.), or 28mm (Shadowrun, Rogue Trader). For 28mm games, it would make an excellent attack drone.







I painted this in a quick and dirty style, starting with an Army Painter metallic undercoat, then stippling on some military green colors. The base was cut for thin styrene card.

    But quick and dirty does well for military vehicles. Sometimes I think we do too much prettying them up. I mean, really. I've been pretty up close and personal on a lot of military vehicles, and neatly painted herladry designs don't show up too often.

    Says the guy who painted a red and white check pattern on one lance of 'Mechs. But myt rucks are plain and boring and so are my tanks. Really!
