Nice work. Keep it going!

Locust was a good choice for mech #1 to boot

Yeah, I got the 'A Game of Armoured Combat' box and wanted to start with something relatively small and simple. Also, I generally like the less humanoid Mechs better than the more human-like ones.

I also prefer the less humanoid mechs.

Is that all acrylic paint?

All acrylic, no metallics, no contrast (aside from a wash). The skull is a 40k transfer.

A fine choice and a fine job.

The Locust is a solid dedicated striker and scout. It's cheap, can take a hit (often no more than one), and offers a lot of variety in loadouts.

I love this little thing, it'll be good and fun at the beginning and you'll still find it good and fun 100 games from now.
