Amalor Myrnnyx Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I did this for a CBT competition. The theme was Inappropriate Camo. It finished first in the expert category: GALATEA: Most mercenary forces have a paint scheme that scream who they are, but none so loudly as the newly formed Sonic Nightmare. Throwing aside all common sense, at least in this reporters mind, the Nightmare have gone for a scheme that defies logic. Commander Simon Steele, the leader of the Mech company explains. "We wanted something unique. Something that sings. Something that says, well, we're here and we aren't afraid of you. Not like some other units that would use camoflague and camo-netting to hide their units. Who needs cowardly tactics like that. Stand tall and fight, or go away." In the opinion of this reporter, I wouldn't invest any stock in the life expectancy of this mercenary unit. As always, thoughts, opinions, and thrown pottery welcome.

Rastl Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Very nicely done. Very much a creative entry. Edited for under-caffeinated original response. Edited September 15, 2008 by Rastl_Deeperdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalor Myrnnyx Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Are you asking how one might go about duplicating such a paint scheme? No, just showing off my work :) See you at RastlCon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errex Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Whimsical. Gaudy. I love it. The spiral pattern is downright hypnotic, as my sleep-deprived self found it hard to take the eyes off it to write this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hilarious. I wonder who would win a duel between these and Sarge's Dazzle CAV's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If we're going for brightest Mecha, this one takes it hands down. I don't think it would be inappropriate if the planet had been colonized by hippies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted September 16, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2008 Replace the rockets with fireworks banks and load the Auto cannons with flowers and you'll have the first Mecha hippie peace brigade. Cool idea. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
