BattleTech - Lyran Guards

Last of the repaint 'Mechs I have so far, it's the Lyran Guards from the Lyran Commonwealth. A pretty popular color scheme and I can see why. The cyan and white really pop.

The Lyran Commonwealth is a German-coded faction with a heavy emphasis on mercantilism, to the point where their military suffers from "social officers" - officers who merely buy their ranks and positions, rather than based on their quality. At one point, the Lyran Commonwealth joins up with the Federated Suns to form the Federated Commonwealth, becoming the dominant power for awhile. War and internal divisions inevitably lead to them breaking apart, though.

I'm really happy with how these turned out, though. Very crisp. Some of my best work with any minis.

It isn't true Lyran lance if it's below 400 tons. Not even a single Atlas 😟
- Well, this isn't the Scout Lance 😏
  
  True, but there is no scout in this lance.
Very nice! May I ask which paints are you using?
- Army Painter brand Crystal Blue and Matt White. Gunmetal for the metallic bits. Wolf Grey with a dry brush of Matt White for the canopies. I used varying colors for the barrel interiors based on the stock loadout for each variant. Then some Nuln Oil (by Citadel) for the ink wash, watered down more for the white portion than the cyan.
  
  Thanks!
