KnighthawkS86 starts us out with a Cyclops in their Bailey's Broncos scheme! The inspiration from the Davion Guards is clear and it looks great in red!

Mad Dog Mike dropped in to show us their graffiti pirate scheme! The markings are a great touch, and we see it across the whole unit!

Barbarossa showed off the Ghosts of Terra! The unit lore is fun, as they suffer enough damage to only ever paint one arm and leg in their colors! It's also for fun schemes!

Cat was being very supportive in chat, so we gotta show off Rico's Red Shoulders! Marking each 'Mech with a playing card suit and letter is a cool way to show off roles!
