Really like the Cheetahs scheme getting solidified as well, that Timber Wolf is gorgeous!

How long will CSO keep posting one photo per mini?
CSO artists do important work, but they only post one photo.
We all want to see the miniature from all views/angles.

I can't speak to the other artists' processes, though I typically aim to have 3-4 angles of any given mini. Sometimes an angle ends up not offering anything of value, or it doesn't work well for a variety of reasons, and I end up with less. It's not ideal, but reality rarely is.

You may also be noticing new artists; frequently the pieces used in the submission process are the first minis posted, and often artists are very selective about what they send in for review, resulting in a single image of each mini being posted. Such is the case with Tsuge's very sharp looking Awesome. It's worth checking out, and he'll probably get the nudge to include more angles of future pieces.

Clan Snow Raven Kappa Galaxy and the Draconis Combine's Dragon's Fury can both be removed from the Unrepresented Units list.

We're reviewing the list.  Thanks!

Just noticed that Clan Nova Cat's Delta Galaxy is entirely missing from the site.

Just noticed that Clan Nova Cat's Delta Galaxy is entirely missing from the site.

Neither Gamma nor Delta Galaxies are listed on the site, even though we have a canonical reference for Gamma in the Battle of Tukayyid book (p. 180). That said, the pilot card for Patrick Drummond (Stormcrow) has him listed as part of Delta Galaxy, but the camo scheme of the mech on his card is the same camo scheme as Beta Galaxy in the Tukayyid book and on the site (i.e. Beta and Delta Galaxies are using the same camo scheme). The only thing I can think is that someone took Fanjoys awesome Stormcrow from the site and accidentally attributed it to Delta Galaxy. It's also confusing because the Galaxy crest for Beta Galaxy is also the same as the unit insignia for Sigma Galaxy on CamoSpecs (Sarna has a useful note on this on the Beta Galaxy page).

As a dedicate Nova Cat trying to paint my touman, it's been a headache figuring out what proper schemes are, or if as per FM Comstar, it's just all camouflage all the way down (except for Alpha and Xi). Although you would think the Cats would have distinct schemes from one Galaxy to the other.

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Clan Nova Cat and the camo rule is very much a sore point for CSO, but for the moment, it remains the rule.

[Istal_Devalis]

The 'They all use camo' rule was always a sore point for me, too. It's hard to build up a brand identify when it's the same as everyone else. At least they do have Alpha and Xi galaxy, and Alpha was a bit of a fight. I was hoping they'd adopt the MWDA coloring scheme but no dice. It does show up on the cover of Heretic's Faith reprint but we know where art goes on the canon list.

Even just different colour trim per galaxy would be enough IMHO.

[Grognard]

I just use different types of camo to represent the galaxy.
Desert camo, Urban camo, woodland camo, Tiger stripe, artic camo... etc.
