Here's a big piece that was commissioned by :iconmr-balk: ~mr-balk. It's been fun do do more than single mech paintings, and I have more coming up.

A Kuritan Sunder, 90 ton assault mech of the 10th Ghost Regiment is pushing into a position held by Blake 52nd Shadow Division infantry. This customized Sunder, nicknamed Samual, is loaded out with almost every anti infantry weapon in the book, terrifying even to these Blake cyborgs. A Malak light mech is rushing the Sunder in ambush but being in it's Dominus configuration is also carrying mostly anti infantry weapons, adding it's previously sustained damage it probably wont fair well.

Sunder Samual weapons:
1 Extended Range Particle Projector Cannon
6 Short Range Missile 4 Launchers (inferno ammo)
4 Flame Throwers
12 Machine Guns (in paired arrays)
2 A-Pods

Battletech's infantry get so neglected in art even though they played an important role in the series and had a couple of books about them.


Also did he just waste a PPC blast on an infantry guy?

There is no waste on these guys, terrifying cyborgs.

Like the elementals where the only things that took them down in one shot were big enough to vaporize them completely. 
Still that is a lot of heat to deal with.

Who's the idiot who is standing up when there's a giant murderous robot putting holes, electrocuting, or setting fire to everyone not behind cover

What vehicle is that that's getting BTFO by the Sunder?

Not that it's the main figure of the painting but you did an amazing job on the Malak.

I can't really say I'm surprised that the infantry guys are World of Blake.

The Wobblies are purpose-designed to be hate sinks. ;) (Wink)

There's always one guy in these kinds of drawings who seems to be saying, "Seriously?"

Only Wobbies would be dumb enough to engage a mech like that in open ground.

Those Cyborg infantry are no joke.

Infantry can actually be very helpful when ambushing Mechs. At least, on the ~tabletop setting I use...
