avoid cliches...kanji characters are a big no no if you wan to be original.

and highlanders, as in references to earth history would be a bit stupid since it's the future and the clans are all fictional. you'd be breaking the 4th wall.

just some suggestions, that's all.


With Hayden on this. By the way, any parade paint theme is a cliché by definition. If one wants to be truly orginal, he would have to consult a linguist and speculate on believable language evolution spinoffs a millenium from now... And what is there to say of emblems based on earthbound animals only when so many planets exist in the Inner Sphere. What about all insignia based on traditional emblems in the BT niverse? And we didn't talk about Yen Lo Wang... International sources of tradition and some degree of cliché are Part of the BT universe; that is why it is so rich and appeal to so many 20-21st century readers (and players) worldwide I believe. Just my two cents worth.

You are always welcome to express yourself via your art too :-) That's what makes this section so great.

The Northwind Highlanders are a canonical part of the Btech setting. Just because its a few thousand years in the future does not mean that earths old cultures have been forgotten.

I will try to take on the Vulture. And would that comment above count for cultures based off of fictional settings, like, I don't know, Mando'ad. Yes we have RPers, and I myself am reeducating myself on the language, time to get that dusted off. Also anyone know of free editing software, seemed to have lost my Adobe Photoshop for my new comp.

I'd like to thank Hayden for the amazing paint schemes (page 37, halfway down!) that he's done for my new personal unit. I only asked for an Atlas or a Centurion, and I got damn near an entire Regiments worth of art!

Each one is truely amazing, and it was a real joy working with someone that has an appreciation of both Battletech and the source material I gave him.

Fear the bones!!!!

Give a new awesome *hint* mech for us, because none of these vindicates *hint* the fact, that you're one of the best developers on Earth right now and that makes them unworthy of such honor, but that doesn't mean noone should try to make them. :D

As much as I'd love to be the annihilator of this avalanche, this onslaught of requests, the fact is I am simply the avatar of the devs at Piranha - the gallant Galahad of Pendragon to their valiant pariah Merlin. I must simply stand vigil - a nightstalker watchman, or woodsman, peering, sling in hand, wary for snakes, spiders, spirits and wraiths.

This is what happens when you battle the master. He is the penetrator of posts, the hammering hand of justice, the marauder of message boards, the victor over all things vocabulary. Lo, he cust and Garth saw! He floats like a butterfly, yet he is no bee, he is a wasp, for his stringer does not falter! Some may call him a stalker, a thug, a prowler, a devastator of hopes and dreams. Some may say he wails like a banshee if he doesn't get his way. Some may have described him as an imp or a gargoyle, but he is a vanquisher of hectors. Standing tall, in defiance, is Garth. Let the gunslingers and quickdraws try to take him. The shootists, the riflemen, let them all take aim. Let the hell bringers come, let the hell spawn and fire starters gather. Garth is a whirling dervish of bans, striking with the fury of Zeus' thunderbolts! Our enforcer, our sentry against the dark of the night sky. Garth, you do yeoman's work!

Bandersnatch.

What? Nah... Just appealing to your urbanity, man. That is all.

Truth is I am an undercover agent hired by Paul and he asked me to keep you busy so you would be less trouble at the office :-D
