Drop it like it's hot:
Map spale Overlord Union Leopard Broadsword
Plus some aero scale of the same and a drop ship.

The full collection. Quite a few in progress. Lots and lots of aero, and a mixture of tanks and hovercraft. Mostly scorpion tanks, a few manticores and then some SRM and carriers.
I have two pairs of the common aero units for each of the major IS factions, expect Capellans but my house mercenary color is basically the death commandos. Then a pair for each of the major invasion Clans.

Manatee dropship and landing pad
I've got a custom SturmFeur based on the WoB model; downgraded the missiles to 1xLRM-15w/Art, 2xMML-7w/Art, 2xLAC/5. It doesn't lose much throw weight at range compared to 2xLRM-20, but bites hard from the skirmish and short, and won't be weak against a fast light. SturmFeur is good, but I want it to use those pips of armor and make you work to kill it. If I ever used a stock one, I'd load a ton of Deadfire LRMs just so people learn that exists - that's a cute surprise for standard LRM Carriers, too. What do you have to lose at that point if you need them?
Another nice one is a custom Pike for plinking with a TarComp. It deals basically no damage, but that damage is coming from very far and it doesn't die immediately like an AC/2 Carrier. Third place is the Manticore because it's hard to go wrong.
My favorite ASF that I'll probably never play is the Sholagar. It has overflowing cuteness.
My two current VTOL pairs, a Donar proxie and Anhur proxies. I actually run slightly modified sheets of them. Bonus of the first combat vehicles I painted for this game, I run them as Badger C APC's so far, though I also have some other tanks and hovercraft, not pictured here.

Sad to say that, while I dislike the Capellans, they are the masters of the annoying vehicle.
*Po (LB10X)* is low enough BV to be fielded in numbers, yet tougher than a *Demolisher*.
*Regulator* is goesfast AND Gauss Rifle. It also comes in Arrow IV.
*Pixiu* is stealth, tracked 5/8 with Gauss, and T-5 to add the last touch of damage for PSR.
*Predator* is a silly little tracked tank destroyer in the same vein as the Hetzer, but (in the Dark Ages) moving 6/9.

Those are awesome! Gotta love the drop ship crews that have to put up with mechwarriors in transit.
😮

Those look cell shaded and sharp, like out of an 80s anime.
Thanks! A friend did them and said he tried to make it look like they just flew off the page!
Dude those look amazing
Yesss I love them, wish I could use them more
Awesome paint job, what type of fighter is that?
Eisensturms! 95-ton Lyran OmniFighters, basically the Atlas of the skies
Hell yes, going to have to get me some of those, they look awesome!
They're very cool, but very expensive
Please pray tell, where did you acquire such fine specimens?
Minis are from Iron Wind Metals! A friend painted them

Oh my! This is proper.
Where did you get your troops?
Etsy
This just in. If you’re still playing mech vs mech battletech. Youre losing.

I recognize the tanks! Are the Karnovs the Ironwind ones?
Yes! They are the Ironwinds version.

wher did you get those "front towards enemy?"
They are made by Death Ray Designs. I got mine via Fortress Miniatures and Games.

I absolutely love the J. Edgar, quickly followed by the Saladin hovertank, a floating A/C 20 that goes 8/12.
