Freebirth surat! How dare you call Trueborn warriors goofy! We respect the visions of the Novacats, the Necrosia quests of the Seekers of Goliath Scorpion, the dreams of Jade Falconers,the tantrums of the Ice Hellions,  the Lore of Clan Fire Mandrill...

 

Well,...

 

You may have a point...

I am quite fond of the nova cats, and their absolute embrace of their own silliness, with their neon crazy parade paint schemes. 

 

although I do kind of wonder if there's an undocumented psychotropic effect to stranamechty's atmosphere or food. Sort of like how liao rulers all end up nuts because the crown jewels are toxic.

Wait.... Neon paint schemes?  I'm curious!

They have an alternate parade scheme where the warriors paint their mechs with neon symbols of cats and other icons related visions they have had. 

Oh, okay.  Darn.  A part of me was all "oh sweet, candy kid raver mechs! 

 

That doesn't quite sound as insane(ly awesome).

there's no reason you couldn't do that anyway. 

 

if nothing else it would be totally in keeping with a solaris mech

True, but other than the UrbanMech I can't think of anything that would wind up being a "solo" for me. 

 

...Well, apart from the four Wolverines I'm going to end up with, lol

 

A few Solaris mechs... We shall see.  I'll have to look into the Nova Cats, maybe a part of their fluff will entice me, even if they are felines.

4 wolverines you say... have you considered painting them as the infamous CLAN WOLVERINE! (who are either dead, or pirates, or the secret masters of the innersphere)

The camo specs PDF is ready for download and has hundreds of artwork pics of mechs and paint schemes.

Yeah, uhm... Their lore has me all full of nope.  I'll only ha e four because you get one in beginners box, one in A Game of Armored Combat, and then two in retaliation.

I keep meaning to read that.  I downloaded it about five minutes after the link went live...

$1.8 million! and 3 days to go! I want that Urbanmech! Otherwise I will throw a tantrum like an Ice Hellion!

Yeah, as much as I wanted more elementals, a freebie UrbanMech thrown in alongside cardboard standees... I'm game. 

 

Still wish they'd clarify if it's per person, or per bundle.

It's actually far weirder than that. It's just one unit within the Clan, and they cover their mechs in neon-colored Aztec glyphs. The end result is so distracting that enemy forces have an initiative penalty for the first few turns of every game, as pilots's optic nerves slowly adjust.
