Mercenaries by BMT3D

Hello and Welcome back,

I am on a roll with keeping on top of the Blog posts and productivity. 

Mercenaries are a common sight across frontier space. They are hired usually as a short term solution to protect assets, VIPs or to perform certain tasks that their employers want to deny. Mercenaries have a reputation for ruthlessness and sometimes a lack of loyalty. 

On worlds like Maddans world, they are often hired to deal with bandits. Some colonies and corporations also employ them to do their dirty work such as taking control of other (usually independent) mining settlements. 

The Maddans Independent Mining Corporation is now wealthy enough from mining the Ultesium ore to be able to employ mercenaries to protect their mines from Corporate or foreign takeover. 

With the exception of the Mech, these figures are a limited run by BMT3D and are inspired by some of the art work in the orginal 40K RT art work. They have that old school vibe that I like.

Mercenaries don't just arrive as infantry. Some free lance mercenaries bring big heavy Mech suits, which disappear from their orignal detachment usually during an intense battle. Such as the "Ursa". This walking tank soaks up damage and sports four rapid fire heavy machine guns. The Ursa's arsenal is powerful enough to take on lightly armoured opponents, swarms, hordes of GELFs and fast moving targets such as jetbikes, speeders and aircraft. 

Ursa is a Bear mech from the Borderlands box set. 

Thanks for reading and take care out there.
