ANOTHER Baboon, you ask? Yes.

Did I pick #KellHounds just so I could paint a red-assed baboon?

Also yes.

This one isn't technically on #crescenthawks canon list, but any time I played the game, I made sure to take it.

Unit videos are on the way. Starting late this year with the #LoneWolves.

I've also got plans for the #Kellhounds and #FoxPatrol too.

#Battletech

The next of the #crescenthawks is MechWarrior Olaf Gunnarsson of the Pursuit Lance.

Yes. It's another #Wolfhound.

Worst part is, I almost never use them!

I missed a few days while in the woods (and broke my phone), but I'm back. I wrapped up the #kellhounds for now, so it's back to my #crescenthawks from the #commando week.

Last of my #KellHounds - for NOW. There will be more at some point.

If lore and pilot cards are going to hand me a reason to paint a Clan mech in Inner Sphere colors, imma take it!

Don't worry, there are still more #KellHounds. Rounding out the force pack is a mech I've never used on the table - the #Nightsky.

Back to the #KellHounds force pack, we have their weird #Griffin. I don't know why, but that oblong missile rack really bothers me.

I posted my #KellHounds Crusader the other day. Ever since the first edition I bought, I've felt that it and the #Thunderbolt have gone hand-in-hand. I really should use them on the #tabletop more often

The Hoplite was a tough choice - do I do SLDF, Wolf's Dragoons or #KellHounds? Well, there's a pilot card for the KHs, so...

From the official #KellHounds Force Pack - The Crusader 5M. Some mechs try to engage at all ranges, this one does that with one arm of doom. LRM15, Medium laser and, for the war crimes, a machine gun AND a flamer.

To go with my #Commandos, I painted up a lot of support forces. The #KellHounds one got a lot of backup, including this Wolfhound. You might say, "Didn't you already do a KH Wolfhound?" Yes, but there's 2 different pilot cards.

And, as it's @mechfrog.bsky.social Monday, here's a Javelin for the #kellhounds. Go check out his video.

After a laborious discussion on stream, we determined who was really responsible for the #HPG #Blackout in #Battletech. It was obviously the #DeathKangaroos, the knockoffs of the #Kellhounds.

It's the only logical answer to this quandry. The only thing we need to nail down is means and motivation.

For the #Kellhounds video in particular, I'm expecting there to be tons of artwork (because there is), though I'm still likely to commission one piece of art for the Kellhounds just to have a unique thumbnail for it.

For the MoC, we've already got the beautiful piece from @alblackwell.bsky.social .

The two really big projects in pre-production for the channel atm are the #MagistracyofCanopus and #Kellhounds videos. I actually expect the Kellhounds video to take the longest to produce to a high-level. Both are really going to end up being late-this-year / early-next-year projects.

#battletech

It's nice to finally have a thumbnail for when I eventually talk about progress on the #MagistracyofCanopus video.
Even though there is an abundance of #KellHounds art out there, I hope I'll also be able to get a dedicated piece done for that video too, as I expect to be as big in scope. #Battletech

Battletech Kell Hounds - Callandre Kell - SM1(5) Tank Destroyer

#Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Mechwarrior #KellHounds #SM1 #Mercenaries #CallandreKell

Does this not look like the face of a man you'd trust? He's a member of the #Kellhounds after all!- Wait... he's not a member of the Kellhounds?

... uh huh.... right... uh huh... who? #DeathKangaroos? Who the Hell is that?

We're looking at a Friday release for my video on them.

Kell Hounds - Classic scheme

#mechwarrior #battletech #kellhounds #mercenaries

Battletech miniatures painted in the color scheme of the Kell Hounds mercenary company. A Timber Wolf, Warhammer, Archer, and Blackjack.

Kell Hounds are ready to fight! #battletech #KellHounds #nerdlings #mechwarrior

Alright, next book on the list.

Nothing like a good #Kellhounds sto... oh, I mean, #DeathKangaroos story. :P

Due to character limits on here: On the YT Community page we did a vote for which video was the best of 2024 from my channel, and the #TaurianConcordat was the winner.

It's unsurprising. My next attempt to make a video better than it will be next year's #KellHounds.

#Battletech #Mechwarrior

After this, there will be 4 Mech videos. 2 of which I've already decided, 2 of which will be voted on by Channel Members.

Then, it'll be time for the #KellHounds video, which is going to be a full overview of the Hounds and their history.

Then we've got 4 more Mech videos, in the same format.
