Hey there!

To get my "flecktarn" Jenner i had to modify Hayden's template and had to create lots of layers for different parts on the Jenner.
Credits to Hayden for his template and for giving me an "idea" how to work with photoshop Thx man!

So now here is the .psd with layers for nearly any major part on the Jenner (kneecap, upper left leg, lower left leg, left foot, "Head", Main Body, Arms, etc). This means you can very quickly change colors or set decals on specific places.
It was made because if you want to put a camo pattern on a mech (or any other stripes or stuff which crosses parts) you have to keep in mind the movement of those mech-parts. Think like if they, in the BT Universe, would have painted the parts in production or when the mech was assembled but steady and not in motion...hope you get the idea

Ok here is the link to the template. I hope it will work... (sry for hosting on such a crappy free-upload-space-side)

And i couldn't resist to give you an example of how you can color the parts. All parts that have a layer have a different color.
Fear.........my...........Disco-Mech!!!!

Hmm...for some reason, I am unable too post my repainted Hunchback classic in here. It's in my "Favorites" folder under Pictures, but it won't let me post it in here.

So why hasnt there been an ACU patterned mech? Or even better, multicam?

Well someone said Flecktarn!?!?!? (German Camo) //EDIT: Actually it is the German Vehicle Camo

Here it is! Thought a Jenner would fit in well as kind of an "old" mech.
No signs or decals or stuff.
Tried to really 'think' like someone who has to paint the mech. So i tried to get a good "camouflage" but on the other hand paint parts differently so that you would see the parts moved or were painted befor they were installed...well hope you know what i mean

May be the vehicle camo rather than the Infantry Flecktarn, but it's still pretty cool - thanks!

There's a Multicam Hunchback on page 17

Awesome, awesome work people! Kharrn, I like t he modern camo schemes, have you thought of trying a tiger stripe pattern? I'd love to see that on a 'mech!

[Demi-Precentor Konev]

Here we go! Decided I would do the 3rd Sirian Lancers after seeing the ISN update from today. FWL could use some attention anyway. 3rd Sirian Lancers. Again, insignia is from Hayden and it is based off this one at camopecs: http://camospecs.com...anHunchback.jpg

ACU (I have to say i don't really like this pattern. But it could be a step to a nice urban pattern camo mech! stay tuned )



A variant of MULTICAM. It is not just "painted over" like on the Hunchback version i did post, but really sticks to the moving parts of the mech.

Thank you Well there are lots of tiger stripe patterns hehe. I tried around a littlebit and have to say it is quite hard to fit those on a Mech.
Nevertheless.....here it is. Enjoy!



I do like it as a desert scheme. The reading says "Kitty Cat" and i really had to get some tiger claws and tiger logo on it (they are not made by me! credits to some unknown google user... )



Someone asked for a snow scheme (M05 Snow Pattern).
I only had some little pictures of this pattern and i don't really have time and knowledge in photoshop to do this pattern myself, so this is not the best of results. In my opinion it should have more white in it. But on the other hand this could work well for a urban/snow terrain. An idea just popped to my head. The upper part of the mech should have more white and less black/grey pattern so it would (in a "snowy environment") not be seen too fast in open terrain.
Well, have a look:






Now here we have a different variant for the German Army "Vehicle-Pattern".
Tried to get the look closer to the german vehicles (like the Leopard postet one page before).
Also added some decals and stuff....just for fun. Like the 70km/h sign and the mechanized infantry tactical sign (no unit or size given) xD




Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
here is the Flecktarn version!!!
Painted some parts in pure oliv where Flecktarn wouldn't really fit or would have been hard for the Mech painters to paint on
The mech even has black feet...like german army wear black boots





Now i will pause till we get some new concept art(s)

What does the logo say and do you have a clean head on image of it?

[Wavelength]

Wow Kharnn! In spite of it being hard, you did great! Sorry didn't specify a color of tiger, but left up to the artist, the details usually turn out awesome, like they did! Thanks!

ACU pattern looks suprisingly good on a mech I think. Well done sir!

[Dihm]

First in the series, got the Atlas done, now I just need the other three.

Here is our unit coloring for the Skjaldborg, Shieldwall of Rasalhague.


(not a fan of how GIMP does lettering so I skipped that part )

Edit: Hunchback is done!

These are all very cool - great work!

[LordKnightFandragon]

Those look AMAZING, its nice to see Mechs returning to their originalish look instead of the warped MW4 models. I can just hopethe Warhammer and Zeus make it into this game. I saw that Whammy in the first trailer and knew it was my mech to pilot, if thats not possible, I like the Zeus just as much. Atlas are cool and all but I like the Zeus and Whammy better +D

[Kaemon]

First attempt, made him nice and bloody from too much melee.

Edited by Kaemon, 21 December 2011 - 07:57 PM.

[Dihm]

Used the awesome new unit insignias Hayden made for us to tweak one of the repaints. Decided that the left arm of all our mechs will get the battalion/company colors, while the rest of the mech gets the regimental. So, this would be an Atlas from the 1st Skjaldborg, the Huscarls.



Compared to an Atlas from the 3rd Skjaldborg, the Svinfylking or Swine Array.


Now, if only I had the new FRR logo in a flat, uncropped fashion, that I could also put on it. (HINT Devs, HINT!)
