Our gaming group runs a couple of Battletech campaigns, both AU with one clan and the other 2SW. Recently I had the idea of creating a sketch after each session to show an important part of the battle, as a sort of battlereport and simply for practice. Here's the first such sketch and story. The campaign follows a private army in the employ of the Lyrans, led by Knight Lando Amadeus (my character) and stocked with a couple of skye separatists in the making.
While assaulting a world in Marik space, Lando's Lancers were tasked with coming to the aid of a Cladius Steiner who had been trapped between two enemy forces. The lancers deployed in an amphibious assault against a small city where the enemy had been lying in wait for Cladius. During the engagement, an enemy Banshee charged forward towards the second landing craft and its two deployed DI Morgan assault tanks. Massed PPC fire tried to down the charging assault but many of the shots hit the water. The Banshee was able to inflict a terrible toll before allied units could down the unit and eventually carry the day.

The Banshee's an excellent sketch, and all of those in the gallery are a step well above anything I could ever manage. Good work.

Thanks. The terrain leaves something to be desired. Something to improve next time.

Those are really cool. The Osiris is friggen spot-on, and those made up ones are better than any I can ever think of.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up too, I'd love to see more. The cataphract was just too good.

Thanks guys. I hope to do a sketch a week. I'll try to put some work into the background next time, as the Banshee and the Cataphract which both have more of a background seem to be fairly well received.

Obviously my plan to do some sketches for our campaign fell completely flat. But after a long hiatus I have finally gotten around to posting some more artwork. This time I wanted to take one of my drawings to a more finished stage, so I took one of my personally-designed Mechs and painted it out.
Enjoy.

New Sketch, "Convoy Duty".
Supposed to be a GRF-1S Griffin but I put the LRM-5 on the wrong torso. Close enough.

Next week's sketch features an iconic assault mech in a very un-iconic configuration.
