*If anyone has an issue with their art being reposted please let me know!*

For anyone out there who is interested in canon(ish sometimes) paintjobs that are of House units, this is the thread for them.
Each post I will try to arrange by brigade for better ease of use. And as these will mostly be reposts from our great concept art painters (Hayden Ironhawk etc).
Those images and more can be found here: http://mwomercs.com/...ed-concept-art/

Also, camospecs.com is a great resource for canon paintjobs (on miniature mechs!)

The Lyran Royal Guards are the best equipped and most prestigious brigade within the LAAF, but mostly serve as the protectors of the Lyran government. Each unit within the Royal Guards recruits by invitation only from soldiers of a particular parent state, meaning that each of the Royal Guards regiments represents the pinnacle of military prowess for either the Protectorate of Donegal, the Federation of Skye, or the Tamar Pact. The Royal Guards are also tasked with the protection of the Archon or Archon-Designate, and the Triad. In fact, the BattleMechs that stand constant garrison over the Lyran throne room are elements of the 1st Royal Guards. The Royal Guards paint their machines a base of Lyran blue, with gold painted on the left and right side.

The Lyran Guards were the second Lyran brigade mustered after the formation of the Lyran Commonwealth. Unlike the Arcturan Guards, the Lyran Guards recruited its soldiers from across the Commonwealth, and, second only to the Royal Guards, is the most prestigious commission in the LCAF. At its zenith, the Lyran Guards numbered 60 regiments. The Lyran Guards paint their machines in Lyran blue and white.

The Arcturan Guards were the first Lyran national unit mustered to defend the nascent Lyran Commonwealth. Named for the original capital world of the Commonwealth, the Arcturan Guards traditionally recruited a plurality of their soldiers from Arcturus. However, these recruitment practices have been relaxed, especially because Arcturus is now mostly abandoned. The brigade is traditionally well-equipped. The parade color for the unit is flat white.

Originally a Lyran national brigade (mustered, dibanded and remustered) used for hopeless missions, the Lyran Regulars were raised from Lyran veterans, hired mercenaries, the remnants of the Rim Worlds Republic Military and the SLDF, which remained in Lyran space. The Lyran Regulars lack patronage and specialize in tactics considered "unorthodox" within the LAAF. As such, the Lyran Regulars are the only brigade lacking a political agenda. The modern Lyran Regulars are basically a training cadre, and are generally poorly equipped. The Lyran Regulars paint their equipment "drab green" (mottled between olive and pine green), with tan or khaki highlights.

The Donegal Guards predate the formation of the Lyran Commonwealth. Originally the defensive force of the Protectorate of Donegal, the Donegal Guards are a large and well supplied unit, mostly because the Protectorate of Donegal was not ravaged by the Succession Wars. Donegal Guards fight with dogged determination. At its zenith, the brigade numbered 20 BattleMech regiments and an addition 80 regiments of conventional forces. The Donegal Guards paint their BattleMechs and Combat Vehicles blue-gray.

The Skye Rangers have been the military of the Federation of Skye, prior the formation of the Lyran Commonwealth. The Skye Rangers always maintained close ties to its parent state, and recruited almost exclusively from the Federation. As such, the Rangers are rather loyal to the Federation of Skye than the Commonwealth or the Archon. Thus, the brigades loyalties are questionable. The brigade paints its BattleMechs dark red with black arms, and highlights specific to the unit.

I wonder how many original color schemes from tt will be implemented or if they will implement a color editing program. I would pay for that

Founded in the wake of the formation of the Lyran Alliance, the Alliance Jaegers were an effort to boost Lyran nationalism, with a Jaeger unit for each of the Alliance Provinces of the original Lyran Commonwealth. The Alliance Jaegers are well equipped, and each unit also will only recruits from among the best soldiers from its state of origin. Each unit uses a different base color - the left side of each BattleMech or Vehicle is then checkered with white.

Nice to see all of the repainted art at one location

However it seems you have forgotten the best unit - although founded in 3060:
As part of the Brigade Alliance Jaeger there is a repainted Artwork of a 1st Skye Jaeger Atlas

[Damocles]

Thanks I hope it is continued to be found helpful.

And yes I did leave out the Skye Jaegers because I was trying to keep in MWO timeline, BUT it is awesome and since you have requested it I have made the addition.

Hail to the Fist!

[Lord Banshee]

Ah, these are awesome. Well done. Nice to see the checkerboard sprays make it too.
1st Royal Centurion, Crescent Hawks, Kell Hounds Hunchback -- these punt patootie all over the place. Love blackening out the legs of the Kell so they're tougher to aim at.

[Lex Peregrine]

These are really awesome, hope something like these options make it to the game!

I've always see Steiner mechs being a dark blue/ dark color. I don't know if bright colors really fit the style.
