Trying my hand at Rhonda Snord's old ride - before Heavy Metal. Didn't do much in the way of weathering as of yet.

Edit - holy white outline batman! Gotta fix that

I frankly don't have the personal skills to do this- but is there any chance of getting a Dire Wolf template out into the fray? I think it'd be a good addition to what we already have for Clan templates.

I wouldn't mind doing the Dire, but its only on the edge of my radar at the moment. It also depends on the quality of the source art, some of the older stuff is pretty low res.

jjm1, your art is a joy to behold. Do you have any versions with a clear background?

Well, now someone simply must make a Deadpool Atlas. A Deadlas? Atpool?

Though y'all might get a kick out of this - especially as some of the classic repaints some of you have done are in here

I had originally given Micheal a spreadsheet which detailed who did which template/repaint/icons etc - which has since been condensed into a more general credit to all of us involved. If one of your repaints is in here and you are not in the credits, please PM me and let me know (and apologies ahead of time).

There is also a special call out to Odanan for his Wasp template on the Sarna web page

Reposting below:

Sigil over at the HBS Battletech Game and Sarna forums asked me to post this over here for him.

The below Tech Readout feature repaints from quite a few of our forum users - as well as the Wasp template created by Odanan..

Enjoy!

..and THANK YOU

Edit : JV suggested making the Stinger a bit taller - here it is next to the Commando.

If it helps you with scaling the Stinger....

This is the original FASA scaling of the Shadow Hawk 2 series. Note that the 5 series is just over 2 and a half meters larger due to significantly higher stock armor, larger things like double heatsinks and XL engines and endo steel.



Translation: Mechs with standard structure/armor tend to be smaller than those with endo and/or ferro.
Mechs with less armor also tend to be smaller than mechs with greater armor.
Awesomes in BT are exceptionally tall, much more so than Victors. Then again, look at the armor difference.
Stalkers aren't terribly big despite all the weapons they have... then again a 55 ton Wolverine, 60 ton Dragon, a 65 ton Thunderbolt and a 70 ton Cataphract (4X) tends to have almost identical armor. Food for thought.

Also: I take the scales Steel Raven shared as the higher ranges rather than the middle ranges. This is because the Banshee is among the tallest IS assaults to exist (with the Executioner as the tallest mech to exist until 3055, at a mere 14.4 meters) as are Grass Hoppers on the Heavy side.

What? My Wasp in Sarna? Where?

I'm honored! thank you!

PS: can I improve the template and do a real Wasp repaint for the book?

[Justin Kase]

Of course - and I am thrilled that you are entertained

By any chance, would you be interested in adding some extended vents on the back and doing a Super Wasp (like your Super Griffin)? I was thinking about using your Super Griffin as well.. should you be inclined to mess around with both of them

I have no clue what paint job the 'Friden Aerospace Park' would use, so it gives you license to be creative there as well

... or maybe convert that Wasp into say a Valkyrie

For the Camo Specs side of things, I tried to represent all the main IS/Periph nations and notable Merc companies of 3028.

Let me know which direction you are going to head - if you don't do the supers, I think I might take a stab at adding the extended vents and flared out leg bottoms (mechs with bell bottoms?).

Thanks you to ALL of you that helped with this.

I started the improvement on the Wasp today, but I'm very busy with work until December 15th. After that, I will have a month of free time, so expect some repaints and the Valkyrie.

Color me Thankful

That will also let us see what the new MWO mech is in December (which I hope is one of those 3 anyway - in which case, maybe a Crusader? )

Hmmm the December mech will have "something never done before", and the January mech will be a light, according to Russ.
So I guess it's Hatchetman in December (or an IS omni) and Firemoth in January?

PS: or it could be Firemoth in December (never done a mech over 200 km/h speed) and Wasp in January.

[Justin Kase]

didn't they say a light IS mech?

Though, I'd be very excited to see a Hatchetman in Dec - that would be Christmas
