Anyone remember if the Wolverine fleet colors were mentioned?

Most of the Wolverine ships would have been in their SLDF colors, since the fleet was mothballed while they were still calling themselves the Star League in Exile, and the Wolverines wouldn't have gone to the trouble of repainting them when they were stealing them from the depots.

They're basically painted in [redacted], according to the "How to paint the Not Named Clan" guide.

That was my first thought.    ;D

There's this one for Mechs, which is much less tongue in cheek than the April Fool's one.

And of course, there's only one example of a Wolverine WarShip painted that we know about...

I have the first link bookmarked.   :)  i'll probably go with the SL colors though since I rarely do clan schemes and the 1 ship i'm considering only has several named units and most are for clans I dislike.

Not quite. The ship was originally Wolverine, but found, repaired and repainted by the Word of Blake. That's a Blakist paint job my friend.

Look, dude, when you are a real mechwarrior you don't need to get all dressed up in cooling suits and cool helmets to work on your mech. You just strip down to your 1980s panties and crop top vest and start wrenchin' it.

Pretty sure he knows that and was just being arch.

Soylent Blakists are Wolverines!  Someone has to tell the people!

I'm upset I missed the original posting of this and and still happy to see the replies.

Star League colors are not the worst idea (especially for Warship) and of course the CamoSpec article is the closest thing we have to an actual paint scheme. I mean of course it's in direct reference to the movie.

But still :)

I just noticed that in CamoSpecs, the Star League doesn't have a fleet assets entry describing the colors.  Had to pull it from an earlier article.

Any way this could be updated?
