Stomping robots and mech mayhem

One of the projects I wanted to do this year was paint up some robots and mechs for a small tabletop game I can easily setup on the dining room table and game in a 2 by 2 foot space. Now that I have finished painting various BattleTech and Warhammer Imperialis miniatures with a couple of kit-bashed flyers I will now turn my attention to creating a battle mat and some scenery for them.

Red army of robots and mechs.

To keep things simple I went for a Blue and Red army.

While I have yet to land on any rules yet, the two front running rulesets are: 

Looking at using one of these rulesets.

The setting for these games is quite naturally in the distant future, were humanity has colonised countless worlds across the galaxy, but one particular planet stands out as a hub of trade and industry: Corpnovia a sprawling world with vast megacities, towering skyscrapers, and advanced manufacturing facilities.

The planet is governed by a handful of powerful city-states, each ruling over its own territory with an iron grip. These city-states have risen to prominence through their control of key resources, strategic locations, and cutting-edge technology. However, rather than traditional armies, they rely on formidable armies of robotic machines, tracked mechs, and drones to ruthlessly enforce their control and protect their interests.

For the moment though I am back wargaming some English Civil War games with stomping pikemen and musket mayhem.
