First Attempt!

1st Crucis Lancers Centurion.

I dub him "The Light Charger."

Quotes are from Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade."

we should make some GDC skins for the devs when they do the live play testing.

Did someone say they had a Commando template to use? (Maxoconnor was that you?) Would anyone mind sharing the love please?

Great repaints, as always folks. I've got a personal hangup with the Commando's arm weapons, though. The fact that they extend past the fist, just asking to be damaged or destroyed any time the Commando punches something or even tries to pick something up, bothers me a little more every time I see it.

The only time a Commando should be punching is if his weapons are already inoperative.

Given a choice, no one should ever choose to punch instead of firing the SRM-4 or medium laser.

Of course, kicking is a different story :)...

Not nearly as exciting as the Dapper Gentleman, but here's what the unit repaint looks like.

Very similar to the dress uniform.

Here's a very rough one to use (plus the originals and instructions from both Hayden and Cake Bandit on creating them).

I'm in my Commando, and I need to get into a building, grab someone/something that wouldn't react well to getting shot, and carry the cargo away without it getting damaged. I can punch through the wall with my right arm, and have a 50/50 chance of hitting with the fist instead of the SRM launcher, or I can punch with my medium laser, optics first.

I need to pick up a crate that doesn't have handles. I get my right hand fingers under it with some work, and I slam my medium laser into the ground, optics first.

And so on and so forth. It's just not a good placement. Otherwise, I really like this redesign. Shorten the laser to behind the hand, or shift the whole array back so the extra sticks out past the elbow and I'm golden.

Or they retract, or there's nothing to grab anyway (unless it's got a handle and something wicked sharp on the end of it).

Carrying things! That's what infantry is for.

I don't know, I think the cockpit (head) doesn't fit in there, but well... :unsure:

I'd suggest toning the red down just slightly. As of right now, it actually kinda hurts my eyes O.o;

So where are your repaints? Can you show how you would do it differently?

OK... So the IH repaint shop is back in production for a short period. First Commando out: a Neerabup Melissia Theater Militia (er... pun intended I guess). Who the *!@% are they? Just found out today myself: http://camospecs.com/Unit.asp?ID=903

Note the handy laser light to help lead clients to their seats in the Theater. If you let your mobile ring during the feature presentation though, you get SRM's! For convenience, Atlas spectators are seated in the back row... Okay enough dumb jokes. Just felt like it. Sorry...

EDIT: Adding more gold. Here's the scout for Paw and Maw from the 1st Royal Guard RCT, the pride of Donegal. Note the subtle reflection of the left arm on the gold finish of the leg side protection pad. Come to think of it, this family will only needs an atlas to complete a Lance...

EDIT: Getting awfully late so here's a no fluff one for 15th Arcturan Guards.

Thanks. Aiming to please. More gold coming this week-end. This is costing me a fortune though!

P.S.: Thought I'd spend on gold paint after winning my negotiation with Garth. He said I will be able to play for free if I did an UrbanMech for him. Wait a minute...

The laser does *appear* to have the possibility of retracting. I agree with you that the srm launcher on the right arm would make an impact when punching, but a missile launcher could be reinforced to handle that.

This is one fantastic looking paint scheme,really well done Ironhawk.
I'm assuming in reality this would a be a parade paint job & if the unit was going to war they would paint a more muted camo scheme on their mechs? I know i would.
It's at this point i'd like to put in a request.We've already have a couple of mechs painted in Multicam {Hunchback & a Jenner } any chance of someone doing the rest of the released mechs? I really like the real world camo schemes on the mechs as well.
