I knew they would release the hero as "Black Widow" (the nickname of the pilot) instead of "Black Lady"* (the real name of the mech itself). :/

* From the book Wolves at the Border, chapter 32.

*Black Lady turns out to be the Warhammer Hero*

Me: "CALLED IT!"

Fasted template ever!
(well, it was already without background and with just a few stripes to clean-up)

well, yeah. I doubt the BH called his mech the Bounty Hunter, either. It's not the actual mech, it's a fanboi homage, anyhow.

Oh yes, there will be some 1st BBR repaints incoming. FEAR THE BONES!

(And....maybe a story if I can finish it. lol)

*Edit* Thanks for the template Odanan, I had started one but once I saw yours up...well you saved me so much time, it's incredibly appreciated!

very nice!

Any chance I could con ya into helping a brother finish his?


between limited time and limited skills, and not having a budget for the better programs, this is as far as my Gimp Fu goes.

Still needs gold accent pipings, badges, etc.......
technically, the searchlight got moved tot he right torso, and the autocannon was mounted on the shoulder like a Shadowhawks, but I decided to make this based on the MWO hardpoint locales.

At some point, I'll do a sketch of mine in TT glory.

I actually did my first few repaints in GIMP, it's still a very very nice program for a free one and it helped a TON once I did get Photoshop.

Send me a PM with the specifics and I'll see what I can do

@BishopSteiner Nice Warhammer artwork. Nothing is better than blue metal!

[Jack Gallows]

Another one I've been working on but kind of stalled, figured I'd share it even if it's WIP.



(And yes, I know it's a Timber Wolf MK IV)

Shoutout to Odanan, I remember both of us starting at similar times with GIMP, and I think you've come a hell of a long way buddy! You're repaints are great! Lot of other awesome contributors as well, it's wonderful to see!

Only the original is called Timber Wolf. This is a Mad Cat MK IV AKA "Savage Wolf" (I like THAT name more).

[Jack Gallows]

Another custom Clan Ghost Bear Paint Scheme. I really need to commission a special insignia to tie these together and make a fan galaxy for the CGB.

The template says Timber Wolf mostly because it was made well before PGI ever put up the original Clan packs and we had no Timber Wolf art so Ironhawk improvised. As for the name, I know they're called Mad Cats after that but even though I'm a die hard IS player, I like the Timber Wolf name better and usually use it even when talking about the next iterations (though, Savage Wolf is a pretty damn cool name.) Personal preference even if I'm wrong


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just had a thought, if the new Battletech game, or at least it's sequels/expansions, has developer tools added to allow us to create missions/etc....we might be able to actually retexture 'mechs and we could do this for in game stuff!

I'll shoot you that stuff when I get a chance. I got my unit badge, etc on file, also have the armor as a separate template. Colors don't have to be identical, this is more or less a rough outline. Muchas gracias.

I don't want to spoil the party but I somehow dislike both unseen designs. Marauder had a strike but it's not that good on me now. Maybe (hopefully coming soon) Archer will make it

updated my Warhammer to include elbow mounted heat exchangers.

Last one for today, had to get it out of my system

The Warhammer looks good in 1980's Hi-Vis VF-84 colors! It's really cool your unit uses that style.
Was always a fan of the F-14 in that scheme.

yeah...funnily enough, use them for my personal colors...but figured I'd have Jack go a different direction for my WHM, so I don't get confused with his unit

but pretty much every mech in my hangar aside from my HBK are variations of that

Nice looking Griffin.

Hrm...need to get the Griffin Template too.

Might go through the post in a few days and try to collect page number/posts for the templates and ask Hayden to link to it from the front page.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yea, the F-14 is probably my favorite plane, and I had the thought one day that...what if those high vis colors were produced on a 'mech? I asked Hayden to do some repaints of it as a request (I only asked for the Centurion, as it and the Atlas, Catapult, and Jenner were the only concepts out,) and got a 4 pack with the best paint scheme I'd ever seen.

It goes good on anything, I've even done repaints of the Hornet and Constellation (connie is still kinda WIP,) for Star Citizen and it looks fitting on them as well.
