I have bought a few pieces from Jon at Khurasan Miniatures over the years, but somehow have always overlooked these beautiful light mechs!

Where the line lies between "light mech" and "heavy infantry" can sometimes be hard to totally identify in some minis (and I'll look at an example in due course). But I think these minis from Khurasan Miniatures are categorically light mechs. Light mechs are harassing units in Horizon Wars: Midnight Dark, which means they can't afford to be caught in the open. They should be dashing in and out, using cover and sniping at enemy elements to gradually attrit their stats and build their fatigue before the bigger guns can run in and finish them.
Minis like these are "classic" light mechs in that I think they can run completely vanilla and be absolutely fine. Of course, they have those rocket pods on their shoulders so you could given them the rocket, missile or smart missile upgrade if you felt inclined, but they certainly aren't essential to capture the spirit of these elements. I decided that they looked cool enough that they should be veterans, and stuck a pair of smart missiles on them for fun!
