Where is Yen-Lo-Wang!?

Alright. Now onto the centurions. Since this is the first real "Davion 'Mech" these first 10 will be exclusively Federated Suns.

First up! A 'mech sporting one of those popular "dark" camo schemes, this one is from Chisholm's Raiders.


This is a depiction of a notable Solaris VII 'mech. Just can't recall the name.... or who the pilot was...

This is it for tonight. 4 AM comes awful early More to come tomorrow!


EDIT: First up for tonight: A centurion for the 8th Deneb Light Calvary.


EDIT: Second and last for tonight: 1st Aragon Borderers. There's a nod to Ironhawk's style here.


EDIT: First one for tonight. New Syrtis Capellan March Militia Centurion.


EDIT: Not technically a Federated Suns house unit, the Eridani Light Horse was still very closely integrated into the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns at this time. I have therefore chosen to include it with this batch. I dubbed this 'mech the Equine Equalizer.


EDIT: Last one for the night (probably). This is a 'mech from the Kestrel Crucis March Militia that was recalled from parade duty and rapidly redeployed to an active front. Due to the rapid nature of the deployment, only a partial repaint was possible.


EDIT: First for tonight, a 'mech from the 2nd Robinson Rangers. I tried to make this one feel a bit more "unique" and added in more personal detail than I normally put in. The background for this 'mech is that the pilot is a part of the Draconis March's Jewish population, and he's added some relevant flair and dubbed his 'mech "David". The shield is meant to be a kind of deception: it's supposed to give the appearance that the 'mech is more heavily armed than it really is.


EDIT: Next up, a 'mech from the 1st (and only) Kestrel Grenadiers. The lightning bolts on the left side of the 'mech are kill counters.


EDIT: Last of the 10 Davion 'mechs featured on this page. This one is in the old color scheme of the Davion Guards, and is part of the Davion heavy Guards. I decided to use the older color scheme, since Gouty put a fine rendition up in the newer scheme.


Thanks for watching!

Holy smokes!!! That is amazing. I love it.

[Waylandx]

Nice! Great work Hayden!

[Ironhawk]

Nice work all. Respectful bow to Hayden.

[Ironhawk]

Here is a humble contribution for this evening. A Tikonov 1st Republican. Some touch ups are needed. Word on shield is Russian for 'Wrath' and the one on the weapon stands for 'Death'...

[SMDMadCow]

Beatiful! All of them!

If I may make a humble request to see the colors of the 1st Crucis Lancers and the 17th Avalon Hussars?

I'll kiss a Kurita if I have too...

[Demi-Precentor Konev]

Wow! This really is the best thread on the MWO forums.

I was so excited when I saw "10 exclusive Federated Suns".... but then I saw THAT 'Mech.

Excellent work Hayden and Ironhawk!

[Ikoyim Odei]

Sooooo much goodness in this thread! Keep the repaints coming, people!

[BlueDog]

Great work on the Centurion repaints guys, keep em coming I think my favorite so far is lahyenne's, even though the main colors are lavender and purple, it still looks badass and menacing.

I'm still working on my own stuff, trying to come up with something worth posting.

[Adridos]

A Davion mech, but we got the most repaints.

[Ironhawk]

Whoah! Love the YLW Solaris 'Mech! GJ Hayden.

Well, I'm gonna be retouching it. I just saw that 1st Republican 'mech and frankly sir, the arms race* is on

*of style

[Jon Vekken]

Hayden was very kind in creating this Mech for me. It's my ride in the 17th Lyran Guards.



It's the paint scheme of that unit before the decimation on Icar last year. We lost two regiments at that battle, the only survivors that got off planet were five banged up mechs, and some support staff. A few vehicles and tanks. We commondeered an Alpha class dropship, but it suffered a hyperdrive explosion and we've been stuck in the bandit Kingdoms since trying to get back to fedcom space. None of our communications have reached AFFC Command. We've been attempting to reach them to inform them of the new threat we ran into. Mechs that are not in the AFFC database. Some sort of new designs. Insignias on the mechs are of a green bird holding a sword. They have to be some sort of Kurita design.

We've since began calling ourselves the 17th Lyran irregulars as we've become more of a rag-tag band of Mercenaries.

Oh, my. Beautifully done, Hayden.

[phelanjkell]

Ironhawk, that thing is damn sexy!

[Marauder3D]

Ironhawk and Vekken did awesome work!

Also, I enjoy RP and back story and Vekken your work was believable, sharp, and totally in touch with the BT universe! Nice work!

[Cassius Brown]
