Cheers Odanan, thank you for keeping this great thread alive! This micro-community is the best what happened to the MWO.

As for mutated Locust - it's fugly as hell. Alex 'Flying Debris' Iglesias must be exhausted by MWO, I'm afraid. I just read that pretension of a 'lore' for the Sun Spider and found it equally fugly in literary sense. Thus both concept art and it's lore complement each other, in a way.

P.S. Sorry for negativity in the thread but I'm loyal to my Oath of the Hatred of the Knight of N.O.P.E.

Indeed, many thanks to yourself, Alex and all the other contributors for keeping the art of Battletech live and kicking!

I haven't been keen on either of PGI's in-house 'mechs, but I do want to say that I'm appreciative of them only doing it once a year, instead of going all out and making a bunch of these. I'm sure Alex (or possibly someone directing Alex) needs some variety in their lives, and the possibility to make a mark (in whatever form it may take) on the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe is doubtlessly desirable. That PGI has tempered the in-house designs with a yearly release is at least reflective of a moderation that I am grateful for.
That said, I've been fairly consistent in throwing down money for 3025 era 'mechs, and this has been less true for the others.

Have a Vindicator.

Don't be a stranger, Hayden. Feel yourself at home.
Nice repaint, BTW.

So I stumbled across the TRO 3028 over on the HBS battletech forums and went looking for mech repaints with transparent backgrounds, and wow this thread has a bunch of awesome stuff. Thanks everyone for making battletech awesome!

Also, it looks like we've lost a bunch of stuff over the years due to photobucket and other image hosting sites closing down. I'm still looking for a bunch of good repaints of older mechs (in order of PGI release), anyone know where else to look?

Off the top of my head:

• Iron Hawk's repaints here (but not his latest repaints).
  
• Hayden's repaints here (I'm not sure if all, however).
  
• jjm1's repaints here.
  
• LegendKiller's repaints here. [NEW!]
  
• Jack Gallows' repaints here.
  
• My repaints are all here.

Lol, thought exactly the same WB hayden

[Jack Gallows]

My repaints for the most part and short stories I released with them https://onuris22.deviantart.com/ , wonder if I can find the pages in the thread where I posted them.

https://mwomercs.com.../page__st__3540

https://mwomercs.com.../page__st__3720

https://mwomercs.com.../page__st__4560

I think that's all of 'em!

Can't believe it's been so long. So much nostalgia reading back through every page of this thread. It's the best around!

Thanks to both of you. It's not that I don't want to swing by (and I do try to keep an eye open to see what's happening here), but life is generally too busy for me to spend time doing the repaint bit.

That said, have a Devon's Armored Infantry vindicator:

("COME AND TAKE IT!")
