Agreed... I think the imagery is less faction confusing.

Awesome!
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman

Thanks. I get a kind of Don Quixote vibe from it.

Pretty Sure you are all getting tired of these, but I was bored so I did a few more. Starting with a reworking of Incontinent Gorrillas to make it a bit more colorful.

Got bored today and decided to see if I could come up with something new, without thinking of a concept first. I kind of like these.

VERY nice work!

What're the odds that you take requests?

Because IF you do, I really need three individual company insignias for my Black Knights battalion. Something uniquely identifying each company within the battalion and where a given mech belongs to kind of thing.

I have as follows:

A) Black's Own Knights (or Black's Own): The command company run by Major Aaron Black himself, and hand-picked by him personally.

B) Wu's Yaoguai: An aggressively run assault company commanded by a former Death Commando, and named after Chinese monsters/demons (?) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoguai

and lastly

C) Ritter's Rangers: A general purpose company that acts as fire support, combat strikes, back-up, and fast recon/scout duties. Very much a mixed "Wild Bunch" kind of group

Here are a couple I whipped up today.

For Wu's Yaoguai I wanted to go more abstract and keep the shield element as a unifying factor.

The Rangers were a bit harder so I kept it a bit simple.

And for Black's Own, I thought, the question is how much blacker could it be and the answer is none, none blacker.

Very nicely done, and thanx. I appreciate your maintaining the shield element too!

I was kind of inspired by your chess knight and created this: King's Bishops (It's the Bishops!)

Interesting!

Different colors and I could find a use for that one! Got a Hover tank unit commanded by a Captain Alonzo Bishop!
