The Ultimate Redux - Unit Spotlight: Lyran Commonwealth

Decided that having mercenaries wasn't enough, time to tackle my lack of a Lyran Commonwealth/Alliance unit and my preferred method for doing so is to dust off some Tuatha de Danaan references & throw together a Donegal Guards batt, from the 17th Donegal Guards specifically  - a) because they have history from the Succession Wars to the ilClan era, b) because their nickname is "Cheshire Cats," and c) because they supported Vedet Brewer in his Dark Ages coup against the Steiners so whilst rated Questionable on loyalty, they also make sense for a Hinterlands Steiner force that can be swayed either way w/Brewer's new little breakaway realm. 

If you haven't been following my blogs long enough, I parenthesis items that I don't have but that are mostly integral to my build, especially considering no one is ever sure if the KerenskyKon roadmap from Randall is still 100% valid. Mostly given that things like the Black Remnant and Camancho's Caballeros packs have come out or been announced that weren't originally on that list. 

I'm hoping the Steiner FPs are solid though, and that if/when they release a plastic Fafnir, it holds pretty close to the current metal sculpt & doesn't sway into MechWarrior Online territory. Out of all the PGI designs, I probably hate that one the most. Them tiddy-gauss look terrible versus the FM:LA/TRO3067 breast-cannons

I'll update this as I go with a TO&E and pics of completed, when I have some completed, lmao.
