@weidbrewer.bsky.socialThe other vehicle in the box was this Ontos, which ended up being the heaviest hitter on my team. I use this tank for several factions.

@weidbrewer.bsky.socialGot a bit crazy with the next blind box - Battlefield support.
The first of the two vehicles was a J Edgar Dadjoke.

@weidbrewer.bsky.socialMy next blind box draws was technically an Ice Ferret, but those aren't available to the Mercs faction in the ilClan era, so I had to pull another - the Guillotine.

@weidbrewer.bsky.socialThe next blind box was the venerable Orion.
The color scheme is an evolution of the one I did as a kid in the 90s. Instead of black with B/R highlights, I changed to a camo pattern

@weidbrewer.bsky.socialJust began another playthrough of #Aces with my buddy, and I decided to try something: I picked my half of the force completely with blind boxes. First up was this Enforcer

@weidbrewer.bsky.socialBanshees being the mech of the week finally got me back to my #BlackThorns. I have more coming - I actually painted the whole rest of the unit. Just need to finish bases.

@ps9714.bsky.socialPrince isn't the only player. Nearly every developed country uses #mercs. To do things our military cannot (or will not); mercenaries are the disposable part of modern warfare. Iraq and Afghanistan were contractor-run wars.
@ps9714.bsky.social#Mercs, yes. Sadly I'm not surprised. Mercenaries are a big part of the PMC contractor community. Note also that Ukraine employs lots of them.
