Clan Burrock Camo schemes
« on: 13 October 2013, 17:36:04 »
Camospec's has a lack of Burrock painted mech's, does anyone know what kind of parade scheme's they used? And does anyone know what scheme the reborn Burrocks may have used for their short live WoR era Zeta Galaxy?
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

Seriously? No one has any idea what the Burrocks may have painted there mechs up in other than "Brown and grey?"

I would use Browns, Reds, Greys and Gunmetal. Considering what a Burrock is supposed to be, that's probably going to be your best bet. For Zeta Galaxy even add in some bare metal parts or something to make it feel a bit more 'ramshackle'.

Doesn't really seem to be much on them otherwise.

There is a gentlemen hear, Fear Facotry I think (?), who was big into the Burrock Clan: If he is still around I would find him and consider his response: he wrote up a full TO&E on them.

They make use of brown/neon green highlights per camospecs.  Check the book I made in my sig for a non-canon take on camo prior to the absorption.

During the resurrection?  I'll have to check Wars of Reaving but IIRC there's nothing on that.

The Resurrection is what I was primarily interested in, but I figure they might not have changed schemes from the Galaxy that changed sides, or they might have modified it with Burrock colors added.

That's kind of what I assumed.  I don't think they had time to worry about creating their own unique look.

Vanity is something you spend much time in even you do not have the time.

So be innovative and think of something it might have been, the nyou could contact one of the artist of Camospecs and you might get your idea made canon.

Part of the problem with Burrocks is at the moment CSO centered on the Field Manuals and starting to inch towards the Dark Ages.  It's something we'd like to go back and hit for sure

The one Galaxy that made the switch had a scheme that was yellow and I think a red fade, I'm thinking of using something like that except with brown replacing the yellow. While changing the paint job might not have been a priority, its not like the warriors are the ones doing the painting. They have techs for that.

This is what I came up with:

I tried making my own camo in my burrock thread.  It's ok, but I think it can be better.  Want to make me some camo to go with my burrock stuff?

Alpha Galaxy:  light gray with brown highlights with a centered neon green Clan Burrock insignia.
Beta Galaxy:   1 - blood red with black and gold trim and 2 - brown with black tribal highlights
Gamma Galaxy:  gray with brown highlights with a burrock that wraps up the left leg with the face ending over the cockpit
Epsilon Galaxy:  standard camouflage patterns with brown highlights
Iota Galaxy:  standard camouflage with scars that look like flesh wounds and acid burns
Kappa Galaxy:  standard camouflage with gold accents
Pi Galaxy:  solid black with gold and brown highlights (like a burrock)
Xi Galaxy:  No official theme...  but just for representation something black, brown, and neon green.

"Standard camouflage" probably just something that uses brown/gray to go with CSO.

interesting to read

I agree Brown should be a base color and Gray for the Rock theme!

a Camuflage of redbron and Gray (dark and light gray) would be perfect

Gals / Glasses  by all 'Mechs and Soldir are Green!


Alpha Keshik = Black base colour with Yellow hight lights for the Clan Badge as representation


Zeta Galaxy (The Undying) = Yellow with brown



Omega Defese Galaxy (The Dieased) = Purple with Yellow

This is the closest thing you're going to get to an official Burrock scheme. Reddish brown with bright "acidic" green trim

Thats the Problem they take them out or there was never a picture

I edit my post and insert the Burrock schemes for Zeta (the ex Upsilon Galaxy who get absorbed in the Star Adders)
I think Zeta would keep this paint scheme (it was made special for the burrocks and they sure had not time to change it)

the other old Galaxy to see them painted in gray and red brown with colour hilight in arcid green, yellow and red would be cool

At least we got their naval camo with the colored templates in AT2rev.

"Until the Absorption of Clan Burrock, the Adders used dark blue trim on black. Captured vessels retain their original red-brown color however, possibly a gesture to reconcile Burrock Warriors to their new status."

Sadly we never got a note which warship was a former Burrock ship.
I think it is a good guess that red-brown are dominant colors also for their ground troops.

Your hilarious. I am just pointing out that you literally brought back a very old topic I asked in late 2013! If you don't think its 'nice' to point that out, that's your lookout. Not mine.

The sad part is even after all this time we still don't have unit schemes on Camospecs for the Burrocks or the Wolverines.

While it's common for Clans to adopt the colours of their totem for some of their camo schemes, they don't always do it for all of them. Let's take the Jade Falcons as an example: they have a lot of schemes that use green or jade, but there are also some odd outliers like the steel and red of Vau Galaxy or the blue and grey of Rho Galaxy.

Brown, yellow, ruddy colours and other earth tones do fit the Burrocks... but they might have had some other weird schemes in there as well. Most Clans do. Painters should feel free to be audacious without worrying that it might not fit the lore.
