Okay this IS my last one for the week-end. After the renderings of Yen Lo Wang, I figured it'd be nice to try out Death Commandos. It's not easy as one would think to try to correctly depict black painting in a realistic way. In daylight, because of volumes, it's always a mix of dark gray facets and only the areas in full shade are true black. Also this time, I tried to be more true to the lore (i.e. camospecs) although I am not sure at all they ever had HBK's in their ranks. Markings on the left torso stand for 'torment'. I hope this does justice to the Commandos.



Adding 'Executioner' to the mix of Death Commandos. This one was done upon special request to have a Hunchie without the skull on the AC, so even more in line with camo specs. Writing on the AC says 'Capital Punishment'... Enjoy!

That's a delightful work, Ironhawk! Kudos.

P.S. May I ask your for version without skull on the cannon please? Catapult (with closed missle launchers) in Death Commando colors would be also very welcome

Wow, awesome, now everyone can see why are they the absolute best. Also looking forward to all your future work, be it another Death Commandos repaint, or something else. As long as it will be Liao, of course.

Just in case nobody has noticed, the Dragon has recieved a much-needed update (imo). MWO FB Page:

I preferred the flat head... this redesign kind of makes it look "chubby", the previous one was sleeker, like a jet fighter cockpit.

Also, the straight arm made the design kind of unique, with the bent one it kind of blends with the Centurion. That's about how it seems post-redesign: a fat Centurion. Still loving FD's work in general, only I believe that's a step down from the previous artwork.

[Hartsblade]

Okay I love the new Centurion, but there are a few folks having trouble re-invisioning FD's as replacement. So to maybe help more people see the "Centurion" in our new Centurion...



Okay, the next re-paint will be a more "serious" one

edit: If you're curious. this is the symbol on the shield. A nod to the Legio IX Hispana

Be a man and make a Testudo formation from these Centurions.


For non-strategists here. It is that famous tortoise formation.

I take my hat off to all of you who have done an awesome job with the repainting. It's one of the things that are keeping the interest in this game at the level it is at.

Keep up the outstanding work!

Hartsblade, if you were meaning that Centurion to be a joke, you failed, because that thing looks awesome! Nicely done!

Thanks Kay!

A joke? No, but a little tongue in cheek, yes.

If it does turn out that we can paint our mechs in-game I will be driving this one as my personal Centurion.

Tongue in cheek or note i agree with Kay Wolf,that is one good looking mech

[Redburn]

Sorely needs a Gladius in that left hand.... Nice conversion.

[Alaric Wolf Kerensky]

Needs more Clan Wolf color schemes. Oh wait, there are no 'Mechs worthy of that yet...

Edit: And that is one badass Centurion. +1

I did a Greenburg's Godzilla catapult earlier, if you didn't see that. I'm not really keen on doing more of them for now, but maybe later

Thanks for the kind words lxxxl. I have added a version closer to camp specs (and without the skull on the AC) just for you as an EDIT to my earlier post (have to start cleaning up my mess on this thread or Hayden will have me grounded!) Can't promise a Catapult yet since I do not have the closed pod format template. Enjoy the DC Hunchie!

Thanks. I may do more Liao and Confederation work. They are fun to do but I'd have more fun working on true Liao 'Mech designs (hint to developers here.) ... As for them being the absolute best, I am sorry to say that in my mind, the Atlas Hunters Mercs are still the best!

Hey Iron, you may want to put a link up for that...this thread is getting very long.
