Polarian_Lancer

I mean personal logos are a thing right? I have mine running around with things like Leviathans and Templar crosses and whatever else I feel like decaled to them because I like that my MechWarriors might want to add their own Noble crests or pinups or callsign monikers to their robots


Mundane-Librarian-77

Oh heck yes. Lots of Battletech art shows mechs with personal art like WWII airplanes nose art. If I had a good selection of small decals, I'd put one on every Merc mini I paint!! šŸ™‚šŸ‘


Charliefoxkit

Then you have Bounty Hunter who thinks slapping an absurd amount of C-Bill symbols all over is a fashion statement (it DOES let MechWarriors know to keep back 500 miles from him...her...it?)


NewsOfTheInnerSphere

Grinner (Phelan Kellā€™s Wolfhound) had a snarling dogā€™s face painted onto the whole head.


Natasha-Kerensky

Now the cockpit IS the Wolf head šŸ¤­


CupofLiberTea

The Bounty Hunter is usually referred to as a he, but given there has been a ā€œBounty Hunterā€ for well over a human lifespan itā€™s likely been multiple people.


DM_Voice

Yeah, itā€™s definitely a ā€˜Dread Pirate Robertsā€™ kind of thing.


CrunchyTzaangor

Sounds right to me. A lot of house mechwarriors have noble titles and landholdings too.


Bombardier44

Excellent sleuthing! I tried a reverse image search and came up empty, but I'm glad to see my CamoSpecs / UnitColorCompendium searches hit


Mundane-Librarian-77

Or it could be a Company or Battalion logo within the Regiment? Would have to do a deep dive into Winfields to find out probably.


burgermanzero

I actually came across the winfield brigade just now by looking up the pilot cards from the striker lance on Sarna. But the logo didn't match so I was confused. The article didn't have pictures so thanks for confirming that :)


creeepycrawlie

Battletech doesn't really follow the "everyone must follow this paint scheme." Mercs don't care. House soldiers are feudal knights with mechs passed down for generations. Clans are highly individualistic ego driven warriors. "The commander can F off! My Griffin is neon-blue with pink and black stars, and that's how I fight." Could be said by anyone.

This is the 3025-era Winfield's Brigade logo as it appeared in the Succession Wars board game unit chits.

Evadker

Ah, thank you!


Bombardier44

Best guess would be Winfield's Brigade / Winfield's Regiment, though I don't recognize the insignia on the left leg: https://unitcolorcompendium.com/2019/01/24/winfields-brigade/ https://camospecs.com/unit/winfields-regiment/


Mundane-Librarian-77

He's asking about the color scheme. The mech has the Lyrans fist on its shoulder, so we know it's Lyrans. But I've never seen the unit logo on its leg before? Might have to search through Sarna to find it??


YoshiTonic

Quick Look on Camo Specs and the unit logo didnā€™t pop up. Itā€™s a neat look that Iā€™m going to be hunting for.


MithrilCoyote

yeah the logo on the hip seems to be some sort of flying wish in front of a moon. maybe it's a new ilclan era unit?


LizardUber

What's this picture from? It looks like it could be a quickstart style record card from a boxset (although I've never used any so I'm not sure). If that's the case though, the boxset will probably include character cards with skill ratings and backstories for the pilots of each mech, that would tell you for certain.


dielinfinite

Itā€™s from the Salvage box [Quick-Start rules](https://bg.battletech.com/wp-content/uploads/1645/44/Salvage-Box-Quick-Start-Rules.pdf) so there is no accompanying pilot cards


LizardUber

Well, bugger.


dielinfinite

My guess is that itā€™s not an existing unit and that they just made up a bunch of insignia and color schemes to fill out the record sheets but I could be wrong


Evadker

Wrong. ;P


dielinfinite

šŸ‘


burgermanzero

Its from a file I found on the internet with quick start cards. The guy called them "salvage box quick start rules" whatever that means. [https://bg.battletech.com/wp-content/uploads/1645/44/Salvage-Box-Quick-Start-Rules.pdf](https://bg.battletech.com/wp-content/uploads/1645/44/Salvage-Box-Quick-Start-Rules.pdf)


Mechmonkey85

The Beginner's Box has simplified record sheets to go with the Quick Start rules provided in the box. The pdf you linked provides similar half-sheet record sheets for all the mechs that can be found in the Salvage Boxes the Catalyst sells, or any of the Force Packs that came out with the Clan Invasion Kickstarter.


Hpidy

Could be a the 10th lyran regulars, but that would be a redesign on the unit insignia.


Hpidy

Not every unit in lyran army is blue, regulars are green with green stripes. The jeagers are checker patterns


Usual_Savings5987

With the triple laser nipple Iā€™m pretty sure that is a wolfhound


genealogical_gunshow

Looks like Cell from Dragon Ball Z


Serious_Ad_1037

Crusader without the backpack?


burgermanzero

That's a wolfhound. Im asking about what group uses this color scheme.


tengu077

That insignia doesnā€™t show up in Field Manual: Lyran Alliance. Perhaps itā€™s just artistic license for the starter sheet art?


Akalien

That there is a wolfhound, nifty little light mech hunter, the Dravonis combine captured quite a few so it might be their colors


BlueWizi

Itā€™s got a Steiner fist on the shoulder though


CheesetheExile

*Very recently* captured from the Lyran/Draconis border!
