Wb Hayden Ok, seems they will get again my money
Not back in any official capacity, just really liked the Crusader ;D (Hatchetman will get some more attention too, I suspect).

Hayden, could you by chance turn a Crusader "Ash Gray" maybe put a Genyosha unit patch on the Left Chest area and a Kurita Symbol on the upper right leg. Maybe add some cherry or plum blossoms from the feet up to the Knees. Also your paypal account so I can send you the required payment.
Naw, I don't charge for the repaint stuff; if it's something that appeals to me and I have time, I might do it
(To be clear, I'll very likely do this, because it sounds cool and I like it).
That said, I do offer design services for hire, you can PM me if interested.

Cool stuff, Hayden! I had a sneaking suspicision you'd go for your personal canon ride, and I am glad I was right. I love the SIMC - way too short-lived, though.
The 10th Lyran Guards could use some of their silver highlights it is known for, but other than that it is marvellous, thanks.
I am almost afraid it looks better than what PGI will do to the Lyran Guards scheme
Also, I like what you did with the horn on the Waco Ranger's Crusader. Are the stars on the left leg a reference to Tennessee? The WR's lore is not my strong suite...
Anyway, I think I speak for everyone saying we are glad the Crusader brought you back.
I'll fix the Lyran scheme, it's always easy to make an oversight as the Donegal/Lyran/Arctural guards use generic brigade schemes, but then the individual regiments occasionally add bits of flair.
You're not far off, it started off as a more proper tribute to Tennessee, but I really wanted the "Hook 'em (horns)" reference (because, you know, the horn) which is very Texan, and it felt all over the place, so I shifted the hue and kept the three star motif as a kind of "nose art" (knee art). If you need a story: "The Mechwarrior is the third member of her family to pilot this Crusader, the three stars represent the pilot, her father, and uncle."

Nice work. What software are you using? I did the below image with PhotoShop like 9 years ago, but my license has long since expired. Anything I can do this with that is free? ish?
I use Adobe's Cloud based creative suite, mostly photoshop and some illustrator for this type of work. I don't really use other software outside of Adobe's library (MS Paint on rare occasions, though not for anything like this). GIMP was on my radar once upon a time as a free option, but I haven't used that since around the turn of the millennia, so I can't speak to how good or bad it is now. I wish you the best of luck in finding what you are looking for. Your centurion is pretty cool!
