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.
