Hey guys, I know this isn't a huge issue, but I can't stop seeing this:



That badge looks like Lindon's Company:



Not the Eridani Light Horse:




Since I'm guessing that's supposed to be connected to Arianna Winton (CO Eridani Light Horse), may I suggest altering the hanging item away from the chess piece look?

[dervishx5]

Who cares? Blessed Blake cleanses both units from existence soon anyway.

Give us non lore people a bone here.

Who are these people and what do they have to do with the item?

[Spheroid]

Perhaps its not about horses but chess. Its a highly mobile assault with a battle computer. If not the knight what other piece is thematically appropriate?

You are finding patterns of association where none may exist.

Two famous mercenary units from the books and lore. Eridani Light Horse (one of the oldest mercenary units) and Lindon's Company.

Here you can read about them if you're interested.
Eridani
Lindon's

Not a fan of it either, the Archer pack had some interesting skeleton cupids.

Given that the hero is suposed to be Ariana Winston's, is a reasonable assumption to do that they're going with the Eridani Light Horse theme....

No! Shh! Bishop will hear!

Eridani Light Horse and Lindon's Battalion are well and lesser known merc units, respectively. ELH are the people you play as in MW3 so they have a decently sized fanbase. Lindon's Battalion is a lapdog unit of the cursed Wolf's Dragoons. For more details look them up on Sarna.

Or just wait until someone here has to flex their lore muscles because they need to level up their female repellent skills. (Edit: ha, see? Every time. Screw you guys for being more than willing to vomit lore)

All mercenaries opposing Blake will experience the blessed fire. They are of no consequence.

You were ninja'd by post #5....

It's come up in other threads, but the Eridani's camo scheme is the traditional olive green and their homeworld of Trondheim is a planet which has strong Nordic themes and would latter be part of the FRR which would explain the decoration. Sleiphnir is also the name of a mythological horse with 8 legs. I agree the badge is not entirely suitable for the Eridani, but it's a horse at least.

It should be an eyeball hung by its optic nerve.
AN ACTUAL BLOODY EYEBALL RIPPED FROM A GOD DAMN CLANNER'S SKULL!

I am curious why you hate the Clans so much.

Did they touch your Scorpion? (sorry, I had to make this joke)

That and they're basically Space Communist Furries.

What's wrong with communism?

Besides, they have nice, shiny mechs.

[Archangel.84]

It could be Lindon's Company/Battalion, but I think the Eridani Light Horse is much more likely considering they're the more-featured unit and their commander Ariana Winston canonically piloted a Cyclops.

Yes, but it could be Argued, Eridani Colors.

Perhaps it's Lindons Lighthorse?

Also, how about let's make the Sleipner belong to someone who actually at any point referenced some form of Nordic ancestry or fascination, something Ariana never did (African heritage, no fondness of Thor comics in any source material).

I really hate it when they go off the reservation for "lore" stuff.

play an IP based game, get used to people who actually enjoy the IP. Gosh I hope you don't play Star Wars games or such if you are so allergic to lore.

I'm one of, if not the, most detailed walking battletech encyclopedias here. I just like poking fun at my own kind.

Completely off topic but why does your sig read as Nights corn ? ( a joke between initiated I assume ? )

Because it annoys pwnface.

It's the Bush/Farm League AAA ball club for the actual Night Scorn. They are the guys that get strung along thinking someday they will get called up to the big league, but instead are just realyl there to be practice drop punching bags.

which is sufficient reason on it's own.

Though I would find it more thematic if it was Blue Corn..... (more "nighty")
