Aka-Oni Irregulars: First Lance

Left to right: Wolverine, Griffin, Locust, Thunderbolt

I've had the Battletech "Beginner Box" and "Game of Armored Combat" sets for a while now. I've finally painted some of the included plastic models. Here are four pretty ubiquitous mechs done up in the colors of my Draconis Combine (or mercenary) Aka-Oni Irregulars (previously seen on old models in this post). We have Wolverine (55 tons), a Griffin (55 tons), a Locust (25 tons), and a Thunderbolt (65 tons). This makes for a decently balanced lance of one light, two mediums, and a heavy.

Total tons: 200
Total battle value: 4140

Compared to the old plastics, these new models are significantly nicer (and significantly larger). The sculpts have excellent firmness and definition, whereas the old models were somewhat soft in all senses.
