Getting closer.

What are your opinions on non-canon schemes that are just meant to look cool?

Is this one cool? Would you rock this loudness?

Something that often bugs me about schemes in BT is so many are damn boring, often flat base colors with a stripe down the mech somewhere. Don't get me started on Black/Red schemes lol.
When canon does go bold like Marik Militia it's an iffy tone of purple and the red/blue doesn't synergize.
Some schemes are cool, but they're rare.

Non-canon colour schemes are very cool. Would I rock this loudness??? Not my colour pick personally, but it would be eye catching on the gaming table!

Even I'm not much of a pink/purple guy. I gave Dave two schemes to pick from and he picked this one. Wouldn't paint an army this way, but thought a few limited editions would be fun this way.

Non-cannon schemes could be an ace pilot or elite unit.

It reminds me of those high impact camo you get in mechwarrior 4 mercenaries

The Nova Cat's have a galaxy that is bright and bold with religious glyphs all over the Mechs.

Aw well shit, there goes my Mercenary paint scheme idea... I can't be boring! It's just not allowed! All in all, pretty cool design. I follow the philosophy of "Paint how you want, they're your mechs after all"

Needs more pink. Swap out the yellow for an electric green, maybe even a metallic, and you're there.

I am currently painting a Sword of Light scheme... and now I feel dirty.

I dig the loudness. And I think this particular color combo works great, good contrast and legibility, even if you don't like what you see ;)

I always enjoyed using the Tartan or Blue/Green color schemes in the MW4 games. I built an "Old Guard" pair of lances using mostly unseen with a wilderness camo scheme where they are green on bottom, fading to blue on top. In one game the opposing player actually forgot about one of my mechs in the 3D trees we were using!

I did my Wolf’s Dragoon’s Beta Regiment Red Guard in a metallic green scheme they turned out really nice!

I always used the most exotic schemes I could find in the Mechwarrior games. I love bold colors on a mech.
