Back to that McCarron's Armored Cavalry nonsense...again. it's not Wednesday, but it's a WIP. Finishing up the last mech/vehics (and an Ontos) from @eldoniousrex.bsky.social 's awesome poster.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled GDL lovefest for a brief MAC interlude. Pulled this one from a blind box for the air base mission last week, so it needed to become an official member of the company.

Float like a hovertank, sting like a Savannah Master in your rear arc.
(And, for the record, the J. Edgar Hovertank is still the greatest dad joke in tabletop history.)

The Ostsol is on @eldoniousrex.bsky.social 's poster, and the Spector's fluff test specifically mentions #McCarronsArmoredCav fielding one...that's all the justification I need for these two.

While I doubt MAC ever had one of these, they're the only Crappy Cappy unit I paint. Pillager "Anvil" with not one, but TWO artillery pieces. Nothing else, but it's got those.

When I was a kid and first discovered the Awesome in the back of the Crescent Hawk's Revenge manual, it blew my mind. At the time, the Marauder was the end-all with two PPCs...but the Awesome had THREE. At the time, I had no idea there was one with FOUR. I know, cool story, bro. Bonus points if anyone reads this. 😆
This mech is....really great. It's super cool. Man, I feel like there's a better word...

The mech of the MAC Force pack that I know the least about, the Tian-zong. I still need to look up its name every time.

Got some of these guys on the table tonight. Two teams, four players, 175pts + one blind box. Capture the flag.

Even though the picture has the weapons backwards, I have loved the Cataphract since the early 90s because of the classic "Humpty" picture. That said, this is the first one I've owned.

I refer to this one as the Warrior of the Appropriation Nation. Only the crazy Cappies would look at the plans for this and say, "No problems here!"
It's also one of the worst of the old sculpts.

While not technically a primer, I'm blown away by this shade of blue in a relatively inexpensive airbrush paint as a base. I'm half expecting to find out that it's made of uranium dust and baby seal tears.

It was supposed to just be a faction scheme test on a crappy scrap print...but I ended up liking it enough to finish it.
