4th Skye Rangers - Unit Spotlight: Lyran Alliance

Mitch was kind enough to send over some pics of his Lyran Alliance/Commonwealth forces, for your viewing enjoyment. As you can see, it's got some serious weight behind it in the form of paired Fafnirs, a Gunslinger, a Nightstar, Zeus, Black Knight, etc. Very keeping with the Lyran feel, even the lighter stuff, like the Commando, Hollander and Hatchetmen are House Steiner staples.

Having faced assorted sections of this force on more than one occasion, I can freely say it is well built. Mitch plays smart tactics with what he has, using corridors of fire and overlapping kill zones as it suits the needs of the mission. In particular, the ECM of the Fafnirs can be big trouble for Blakist and Combine units, or anyone else used to relying on their C3/iC3 networks.





And yes, those sure do look like Blood Spirits in the upper right hand corner of the second pic...

Added bonus; this well-painted Uziel. Which, despite the paintjob, is still a goofy looking 'Mech.
