So, I picked up a Beginner's Box for my sis, and painted up the Mechs for her. She's big into World of Warcraft, and since she didn't have a real preference, I decided for custom schemes based on the two major factions in Warcraft: The Horde and the Alliance.
Since the Alliance has Griffin Riders, that was an obvious choice. My sister's favorite WoW character is a Blood Elf, so that dictated the color choices for the Wolverine. It does bear some resemblance to the Kell Hounds scheme, I'll admit.
Since they're custom, I've been kinda fond of futuristic things looking shiny and metallic. The Griffin certainly is all 'shiny and chrome'.
The final touches will be finding some faction symbol jpegs, shrinking them down, printing them and gluing them on.
Also, some comparison shots with my vintage versions.
