Good Morning All,

I've no idea if this is the right place for this so please feel free to move it if it's not.

I'm just wondering whether anyone can give me some advice in relation to lore paint/camo schemes. In particular I'm interested in the Northwind Highlanders. I'm guessing the tartan camo is the best for them but can't seem to find the right paints for it.

I'm ideally looking to make a MacLeods (Bad Boys) camo/colour scheme but don't know which colour paints would be best (and in what order). Has anyone had any success with this? Or with any other Northwind regiments?

Also for CW I believe Northwind Highlanders would fall within either Liao or Davion (as independent is not an option). What is the general consensus on which of these houses suits them best?

Cheers in advance for any help/guidance you can offer! GLHF all!

Thanks Wolfways! I remember these from the tabletop. I'm not sure how to replicate them in MWO though (i.e. what paints to use for slot 1, 2 and 3 on the Tartan camo scheme).

I used Sarna to track down livery for the DCMS Genyosha, Sword of Light, Benjamin Regulars, and Rasalhague Regulars . It's cool to see Lore schemes in the game.

The Highlanders that left Liao's employ did so during the before the clan invasion, so that would make MacLeod's regiment fall under Davion. While the unit colors are yellow, black, red, in MWO you will need to order them red, black, and yellow. You'll get a little undesired red on parts of the mech, but the overall effect will be pretty close to Bad Boys colors. As far as the paints go, sulphur, any pure black, and whichever medium red you like ought to work.

Wow, that's awesome! Thank you for such a detailed answer. I'm going to test this out in game. Cheers again all.
