Just piping up in case Havoc or one of the others hasn't yet; We used your repainted art in our sig's to great effect, and are wondering if there's any more GDL repaints (other than the Atlas, Catapult, and Commando). If anybody knows if there are or what page they're on, I'd be much obliged if you could link them.

Well apart from being a complete GIMP noob after my photoshop trial ran out (that's some expensive software). I thought I'd give the dropship a go myself, so here it is next to a Wolf spider Hunchback (including a mech in the image looked cool so I ran with it although I'm fairly confident I've got the scale off lol).

Hayden did the atlas and commando. I did the catapult but do not recall seeing a Centurion, Jen, Dragon or Hunchie in GDL clothing....

My next 10 will be assorted Leopard Dropships. This first one is from my unit*, the 3rd Amphigean LAG. Callsign "Heavy-2", the ship's name is "Telstar" It's even got a theme song...

Thanks for watching! More to come soon!

*assuming that there is no St. Ives Compact... depressing as that prospect may be

Can you make a proper Capellan, green dropship, please?

And the Lyran Guard Commandoes are pretty nice (mainly the 1st one). -> For everyone else, Hayden uploaded last two mechs to his post on the page 56.

Gentlemen,
Dropship is a space craft moving between T-ship and planet surface, every successful flight it passes through different layers of the atmosphere at least twice. There’s no reason to paint up whole shuttle, even if some nano-dye capable to withstand high temperatures during landing and takeoff many times would exist, it’s not viable economically to paint up whole shuttles with it.
I bet dropships would look like charred hulls with not very large symbols of mosaic tiles (not even sure colored tiles or not). Just my 2 C-Bills.

Please leave the Death Commandos to me. Agreed on not putting too much paint. My budget won't allow it on such a large surface anyway.

Next series of 10: All Commandos.

My first and only upload for tonight is in a color scheme that's fairly near and dear to my heart... no, I'm not sponsoring this unit, I just really like this color scheme... a Commando in Blackburn's Raiders livery!


EDIT: This next one is something of a blast from the past. Destroyed in the 4th Succession War, this 'mech is meant to depict a machine from Vincent's Commandos, a unit of the Liao Reserves. Both the commandos and their sister unit, Trimaldi's Raiders were wiped out in the 4th Succession war by (who else?) the AFFS. That said, they can still live on in our hearts. Or something like that...


EDIT: Returning to it's roots. This commando represents a unit from the Lyran Commonwealth's 5th Donegal Guards. I chose this unit over other Donegal Guards units, because they have a little more contrast, without the insanity of the 6th Donegal's paint scheme. This particular one was hastily repainted into a kind of ad-hoc "ridge line" scheme, by leaving the upper half in normal colors, and repainting the lower half.


EDIT: This one is from a very obscure mercenary unit that very few of you have probably even heard of. Very obscure. Not even really sure why I'm putting it up.


EDIT: Last one for tonight, I think. Running low on steam for now. Marik Militia Commando. Text on the side of the cockpit reads "spartan" in Greek.

EDIT: So I lied. One more for tonight... maybe one to follow? Basically, I'm really tired, but I may not have this much free time again for a few weeks anyway... this potential last one is another Commando, and again from another defunct liao unit, MacGregor's Armored Scouts.


Edit: 2nd St. Ives Lancers.


32nd Lyran Guards Commando. Because it is a Steiner 'mech, after all.


EDIT: Same unit as above. Different machine.


MORE TO COME!! On this page... When I have time... someday...

ED:



I will put it up soon!

Damn Hayden, your 32nd Lyran's make my 3rd Lyran look like crap! Great work!!

Hayden's work is outstanding as always. The problem with the re-edits over time on such a long thread is that we don't go back a few pages over time to see them. Thanks for quoting it Hartsblade.

To avoid the same problem, I am posting here my teaser trailer Atlas re-edition. A few details have been changed. Mud added on feet. AC details corrected. Missile side rack removed (was a hell of a job to remove 'cause it was screwed solid and the attach rail inside was full of grease )

EDIT: Added final version at the bottom of this post). LRM problem fixed. Facial neon lighting corrected and faceplates altered slightly for a closer resemblance to the trailer. There. All systems nominal.



Final version:
