I also prefer the old-style 15th Dracon insignia, and have one on file. I think I might be able to squeeze that in.


Gracias!

I'm still hoping for a dark blue/black with rust red accents Cataphract ;)

Great paints so far though guys. Really love that Hello Kitty Cataphract :(

I have a request, actually. Could the mech here:
http://mwomercs.com/...47-screenshot-1
Be changed to matte black with bright yellow stripes? And the logo would be the same shade of yellow; A circle with a yellow Greek letter pi with the left prong sticking through the circle and a smaller number 1, just inside the upper right side of the circle. It's a non-canonical color scheme; it's the colors I would like in my unit in MWO.

That's disturbingly close to the color schema that I want for my unit. 0.o

It's a great set of camo, would be fun to see another unit out there with similar...would make it seem that both units are bigger then they appear! haha "They're all over the place! AHHHH"

*Edit* long ramble post. Tangents are fun!

The color scheme's on the 1st Blackburn's Raider 'mechs (of which I'm unit leader, I was being facetious in my last post,) and the unit itself was inspired by the real life United States Navy fighter squadron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFA-103. VFA-103 better known as "The Jolly Rogers." Decided to go with the idea that the squadron has survived the centuries and made the transition into a 'mech regiment, so we can make our own claim to having roots on ancient terra...and a way of honoring those in the military (of any branch). I wanted a unit I'd not have to worry about renaming due to it being a canon unit, and wanted to make one with such dept and believability as to be able to easily be seen as a canon level unit. (That and the color scheme is simply amazing.)

Hayden really breathed life into these 'mechs with my request, and has been incredibly generous with the continued repaints when each 'mech comes out. I dare say that he's really helped solidify a type of identity for us early on, he's been a major contributor to making the 1st Blackburn's Raiders "The Jolly Rogers" what they are today, and for that he's got all of our thanks. I honestly didn't know how fast we'd grow or how much like a home it feels like already when I asked Hayden for these repaints, but without him I think that initial spark would have been much more dim.

Not only has he done that, but seeing this thread and everyone else in it has been simply amazing. Seeing everyone's repaints, no matter the skill level, is really inspiring. It helps visualize what these machines look like while they're stomping around the battlefield, and I think on a level of detail you don't generally get in table top or the earlier mechwarrior games.

To all the artists and those with requests that turn out amazing, you guys make this game and this forum that much better with every 'mech you post. I have this page open immediately whenever I open my browser so I can see all the new repaints. You guys make battletech that much cooler, and you make these things seem more real.

Now, if only PGI would put out a bloody Orion, I'd be the happiest mechwarrior this side of Outreach.

Sorry folks. Haven't had time to complete a single Cataphract repaint due to RL stuff. Sometimes though, true reward is in the 'giving'. So here's a template for the pure enjoyment of the artist in you. :P As per the last one, special thanks to OhGilPin for the superfast & efficient cut and primer base work.

Notes:
  • You may detach the 'Mech silhouette from the template by reverse selecting the outside of the 'Primer - Soft Light' layer
  • Another soft light layer added covering only darker spots in FD's work to help give more unity to your repaint
  • Special cockpit color layer included
  • Credit in the bottom of the image or in your post is not mandatory but appreciated
  • Flabbergast us with your repaints and make us proud!
Cataphract template.

>Hawk out.

Really good repaint Reno Blade, but I think it would look twice as good without that skull tapped on the cockpit. :)

Reno Blade, the repaints without the skull over their cockpits look great.

In the template, there is an orange overlay over the whole pic. Is that normal? (in GIMP 2)

When did you stole that amazing machine from CC, maxoconnor? ;)

One must say you really did a nice paintjob on her, though. :unsure:
