Well, I found a tiny bit of time after all. Some medium fleshtone drybrushing for the Falcon bases, a thinned down cold grey on the Horse based, followed by some even thinner and lighter stonewall grey.
I guess there's some touchups to be done when we come back from the short trip, and then photos and a new project! Yay!

It's such a wierd thing to put the SRCH on the vehicle cards but to hide the mechs in darkness rule deep within the expanded rulebook
These [srch] units may turn their lights on or off during the End Phase of any turn, illuminating all terrain and units within a 2” radius around the light-bearing unit (including the light-bearing unit itself) - as:ce pg 62
That's not a searclight, that's a floodlight, or a bedside lamp
"Units equipped with a searchlight ignore the Target Number
modifiers for combat in darkness" - as:ce pg 90
great commander edition contradicts itself. It's just as baffling as the skidding rules
I like TacOps's ruleset for searchlights where you just shine them at a hex. It's ironically simpler then the as rules
okay im a kid playing battletech i see the galleons have srch on the card but my mechs do not so i look up srch on page 90. Slightly confused but satisfied with this explanation I check the tables on pg 58 and then start playing never finding out what is written on pg 62
"These units may turn their light on or off during the end phase..." Does the "these units" refer to just the cvs or both the tanks and the mechs
Did CGL playtest this at all

Frog-chan is finished! Prepped a couple areas on the Centurion for NMM, which is going to be extra wild with the right arm's OSL.
If I've fucked up the frog at this point, there's no solution but... THE DIP.

CW: Everything's got underclothes on now!
Laid down the gold trim for the saddle and armor, and base coated orange for the mech, and jade on the highlights of the armor as well. This all took... quite a while, today, but damned if that NMM doesn't look aggressively decent.

Hah, I managed some 45mins and got the bases covered in Vallejo's mud and the Jade Falcons pin washed, with Abteilung's Sepia.
Now they wait in the sauna for a few nights, at worst until the first full week of May.
