In my honest opinion, the Centurion is the best looking 'mech in terms of the concept art we have. It is, again in my opinion, the most gorgeous model there is out of all the ones we currently have. The way the chest is shaped and the narrow waist, with those shapely legs... and the pose in the art helps. I feel more like I'm talking about a girl than a 'mech. >.> But hey, it's sexy. Unfortunately, in-game, I would go so far as to say it's unattractive. I bought one because of the concept art, (I'm sure you think that's dumb.) and subsequently sold it once I got tired of looking at the ugly in-game model. (Perhaps also silly.) I think it's something to do with the height and the legs. It's... stocky? Idk. I would love to see it redone too. It's like that song goes, "You could be better than you are... you could be swingin' on a star." It could be so much cooler! Q.Q

I dunno, personally I love the look of the Centurion in game. It's my favourite model. In fact, If i happen to be piloting something else and I see a Cent, it makes me want to pilot one.

"Jenkins! Where has all the red paint gone?"

"Sorry, sir, the Atlas Hunters came by, said they needed to requisition it all. An emergency, they said."

"Blast! And here I am, meant to be doing repaints for Colonel Havok! How am I meant to do a Death's Hand Brigade BattleMech without any red paint?"

"Well, sir. I've been thinking. Maybe...we don't have to do a DHB 'Mech. Leave that to Killhunger, and focus on appeasing the Colonel with paint schemes that don't involve red. Or, at least, not much red; we've still got a little bit left."

"I like your thinking, corporal. What did you have in mind?"

"Well, sir, how about the 4th Oriente Hussars? Despite being from the Free Worlds League, they're mostly green, rather than pink, red and blue."



"Hmm, it's a start. Don't let the Leaguers hear you say that, though. Last time I heard someone call 'purple' 'pink' he was sentenced to peacekeeping duty on Andurien. What's next?"

"How about House Hiritsu? One of the Capellan warrior houses?"



"Are all these going to be green, Jenkins?"

"Well, technically, House Hiritsu is silvery-green, sir."

"That's still green."

"Yes sir. But we're trying to avoid red, sir, and that doesn't leave us many options. Moving away from the Successor States, we could try a pirate group, like the New Belt Pirates."



"Alright, I guess that'll do. And so far, we haven't used any red paint except for the insignia for the Oriente Hussars."

"There was a bit of red in the House Hiritsu and New Belt Pirates insignia too, sir."

"Noted, corporal. What about Victors? The Colonel said he was interested in Victors, too, and so far, all you've shown me are Quickdraws."

"Ah, I think the 1st Ceti Hussars could help here."



"Jenkins! Are you mad? That cost us almost all of our remaining red supplies!"

"Sorry, sir, but I think it was worth it."

"We'll see. You'd better have something good in mind for another Victor."

"Yes sir. The 1st Coventry Jaegers."



"...Jenkins?"

"Yes sir?"

"Report for mine disposal duty. And don't ever set foot in my paint shop again."

Hmm, you know, if you chopped the head off the QuickDraw concept art, I can almost see the old Archer.

Been listening to NGNG podcasts lately. Returning a salute and expanding on Hayden's great repaint concept for the A.C.E.S.

[Mighty Spike]

Nice one

[Bushmaster]

Yep these guys...

2nd St. Ives Lancers ( Thanks to Hayden for insignias )


I thought I would take a crack at these guys and the "Jade" hightlights based off of CSO and try and get a realistic looking jade pattern, while trying not to overwhelm the mech and lighting. As well as adding a touch of worn look to it.

A way to relax between assessments... so I took some time to repaint the Quickdraw in the colours of the Marian Hegemony - II Legio Cataphracti (http://www.camospecs...Unit.asp?ID=624). A simple copper and blue highlights to a white base coat, maybe a touch overdone but you can't help but get carried away with the detail these concept art have! Might actually do a small project and remake the insignia, but that's another project...

The only time the proportions look correct to me is when it has no arms. XD I just think it's too short and fat looking. Needs to be tall and slim IMO. Don't blame you for liking it though, it's still cool.

This thing is just awesome. "It's a Quickdraw not an Awesome!" =_= HahahaNo. But really, super cool. Would you lynch me if I said it reminded me of the RX-78 Gundam? Q.Q

I think anything big tall and stompy can be similar in paint to Gundams xD

This Mad Cat Mk IV is piloted by the leader of Magyari's Ireregulars, a (fanon) mercenary unit. The pilot goes by the nickname if "Invisible Space Fairy." It's best if you don't ask why.
