But there is a light at the end of the tunnel... In the yesterday's townhall, Russ lifted (a little) our hopes about the Unseen...

BTW, shinny new mechs coming soon!

- May 1st: announcement of the new IS pack "Resistance II"! (surely it will have Black Knight and Cyclops, but what else?)
- Wolverine or Thunderbolt hero in May!
- Several new variants in the Store next patch (April 21), including some supposedly OP holly-trinity Omni configutations.
- IIC mechs hinted.
- Wolfhound and Mauler hinted.

See Townhall highlights here.

Qestion of tast (to each their own) but also a qestion legality considering Harmony Gold loves to sue people if it looks too much like a Macross machine (why we don't have a MWO Marauder and Warhammer)

I agree that the Reseen Marauder would get allot more love if it wasn't for the weak Locust like legs but I really dig the Sword's XTRO take;

Actually I was thinking with a little modding on the actual mini you could make it look like the shimmering sword marauder if that suits your fancy.
-Remove the leg fairings
-use green stuff to make the arm weapon hardpoint square
-of course a few cosmetic changes to the torso assembly (Add gauss rifle, Fill or shear off the missile hardpoints, and
-File off the very edge of the shoulders
-And do some modding to the toes.
Similar to what this guy did:

Heres a picture to go with what I'm talking about.

I know!

I miss my Warhammer in game but the Thunderbolt has made up for it in gameplay. Whatever mechs come next should find a nice nitch along with Alex's art.

Enjoying those repaints you guys were making. Keep 'em coming!

[Bishop Steiner]

not exactly repainted concept art, but as appropriate as a miniature, so that's my excuse for spreading SpOoKy777s awesomeness.

[CimaGarahau]

The (long) arm of the law, I would say! Nice one Bishop.

From art to the computer game and back to art again. I painted up the Concept Art in the same colors as my game Griffin.
Its very close.

It was a good start, but now it's time for a nostalgic theme. What about MW2:Mercenaries box-art repaint?

You all know it is a must have for this thread

Who will be first?

I did it a while ago, with a placeholder Mauler:

If no one beats me, I will do it again with the official one.

Oh, I know, man, I know. Credit both to you and to Haruko who made the franken-mauler, but now we have official concept art! Repaint-art-porn is all what left for me from that wonderful franchise :*)

P.S. Honestly, I am so tempted by Crab and Mauler, that if I wouldn't know about huge disappointment waiting me after few random matches, I could even buy the package. Oh, well... But still, I sincerely salute to FD, he is very talented illustrator of our time <o

That one is vat-born for sure.
