Thanks, Tyberion! I love it! That was the look that I was going for, awesome work.

[Tyberion]

Glad you like it Will.

Hey Marack can I do one for the Blood Sworn? Just tell me/show me what you want.

Also I've been messing around with new sigs, just want to see what this one looks like when it's posted.

New insignias for the Iron Telsons

Bravo- Guardian Scorpions
Info: Before Bravo Company's capture, there were specialized for border defense against the Free Worlds League and the Draconis Combine. They still retain they're active role every since the Scorpion's capture.

The insignia shows a blue BattleMaster riding a Giant Blood Scorpion while holding a purple Orion BattleMech in its right Claw and a red Dragon BattleMech in its left claw. The motto reads, "Mess with our worlds and you're gonna get stung".

Charlie-Scorpions Shields
Info:Before the Capture of Charlie Company, they specialize in using Heavy and Assault mechs for both offense and defense roles. They still use such mechs after their capture.

The insignia depicts a Blood Scorpion wearing two shields: Dark Red-on-blue with a Steiner fist and Blue-on-dark red with a red tear drop inside a triangle. The motto reads, "Hit us as hard as you can, we dare you."

Friendly bump from the Knight Wardens and a Happy New Year

Units for the Blood Sworn:

Alpha Cluster-The Oath Masters

The Unit insignia consist of the Alter of Onarius inside a Triangle with three Blood Scorpions on each point.

Beta Cluster- Crimson Cavaliers

The Insignia depicts a knight in Blood Scorpion colors, riding a horse with a Beta symbol on its throat.

Delta Cluster- Kerensky's Prosecutors

As a spiteful gesture to Kerensky and followers, the insignia depicts a Golden Scale of Justice with the greek letter Delta attached to it. The red daggerstar represents the clans who follow Kerensky. The Blood Scorpion is going lower on the scale to represent how largely their views stack up against the Clans.

Well, I'll give it a shot.

Origins of the Iron Telsons:
The Irons Telsons were a Fed-Com based unit under the name, The Iron Fist. They're capture began on December 23, 3050 when they were called to repel an attack from an unknown enemy on Kowloon. Outclassed by clan's superior tech, the unit fought their hardest until they realized that the Blood Scorpions had a common enemy and common goal. So rather than fight the Scorpions to the last man standing, the Fed-Com commander offered a proposal to surrender the planet and his unit to them. However there were two conditions he made, the first being that any Lyran personnel on the planet can still retain Lyran Commonwealth uniforms and mechs, the second being that no civilian would be harmed during their rule. As such the Scorpion commander agreed. With this, the Iron Fist dropped from their name and Iron Telsons were born.

The units that formally existed:
Alpha Company - The Archon's Fist, now known as the Scorpion's Fist
The insignia formally used, was a blue Steiner fist holding a golden heart.

Bravo Company - The Guardian Fist, now known as the Guardian Scorpions
The insignia formally depicted a blue BattleMaster pointing both weapons at a red Dragon BattleMech and a purple Orion BattleMech.

Charlie Company - Fed-Com's Shield, now known as the Scorpion's Shields
The former insignia depicted a blue-on-yellow shield with a yellow sunburst and a yellow-on-blue shield with a blue Steiner fist.

This was the former paint scheme of the Fed-Com based Iron Fist:


Bravo Company was known to use purple or red accents based on the border they were stationed at:

This Battlemaster used purple highlights to show defense against the Free Worlds League borders.

Your approval means everything.

[Will9761]

It was my pleasure, besides I find random PUGs and TK'ers infuriating. I look forward to seeing Clan Blood Scorpion's Touman grow in time for Community Warfare. It is time to show Kerensky's followers the error of their ways!

[Will9761]

I have two questions for you.

1. Does Clan Blood Scorpion also have trueborns among the clan? Defectors, bonsdman, born in stolen giftakes, etc?

2. What planet's origin did the namesake Blood Scorpion come from? Toshaka, Circe, Dagda, Arcadia?

Edited by Will9761, 05 January 2014 - 09:07 PM.

[Tyberion]

If the Blood Scorpions are named after a species (native or introduced) found on one of the Pentagon worlds, May I suggest the equatorial Jungles of Arcadia as a likely home to the Blood Scorpion?

[Will9761]

That works sinces scorpions can be found in desserts and jungles.

Clan Blood Scorpion Watch:
Basically, the Blood Scorpions use captured Lyran personnel for intelligence gathering. Since Bravo Company was orginally made for border defense, they have been used for gaining intel on the House Marik and Kurita. Futhermore, the Scorpion's capture of Steiner forces also gives them part of the Lyran Intelligence Corps. This gives them knowledge on the workings of the Inner Sphere.

Clan Blood Scorpion Elemental

LOL I saw something on one the threads (possibly the repainted concept art one) about those steel guards (bike racks ) on the project phoenix and the clan collection mechs, the way it went they had decided that the guards were too small and flimsy to offer any real protection to the Mechs, so instead the idea was floated that maybe they are for power armor, to hang off the side of the Mechs as they charge into battle.

Total {Scrap}, but still it's cool just to think about

Clanner Pro Tip: I see in your sigs you have regiments. Clans do not use the old star league structure and logistics. Clans use a base 5 (quinary) organization.

1 point (the smallest unit) is 1 battlemech, or 2 vehicles, or 2 aerospace fighters, or 5 elementals, or 25 conventional infantry, commanded by a point commander (irrelevant if battlemech point).

1 star (equivalent to a reinforced lance) is 5 points, commanded by a star commander.
1 nova (combined arms unit) is 1 star of battlemechs and 1 star of elementals, commanded by a nova commander.

1 binary (equivalent to a light company) is 2 stars
1 supernova (combined arms unit) is 2 novae
1 trinary (equivalent to a reinforced company) is 3 stars
1 supernova trinary (combined arms unit) is 3 supernovae (all 4 are commanded by a star captain or nova captain)

1 cluster (equivalent to a regiment) is an independent combat unit usually consisting of 2-5 binary/trinary units (usually 2-3 battlemech trinaries, 1 elemental trinary, and 1 aerospace trinary, though variations exist), commanded by a star colonel.

1 galaxy (equivalent to a brigade) is 3-5 clusters, usually a logistical organization, galaxies rarely deploy all together at once (the battle of tukayyid is a notable event in which they all deployed at once). Some clans use independant command trinaries within each galaxy in addition to their clusters (see clan wolf's golden keshik), commanded by a galaxy commander.

A clan's Touman is the sum total of all its martial assets, usually averaging about 3-5 galaxies, and around 10 000 personnel strong, commanded by a Khan and saKhan.

If you're interested in giving your unit a solid dose of clan culture, consider switching out your structure for a clan structure.
