Converted a Crockett to a Black Watch, per the fluff and almost painted the black knight head in blue while adding a pom for a tam-o-shanter nod.

Also fixed up a Grizzly like a Rime Otter.  Probably a bit much humidity on the day I lacquered them, as it is frosted.

What do you mean by "per the fluff?"

What do you mean by "per the fluff?"

The in-universe fiction and lore, as opposed to game rules.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.  I do know what fluff is.  What I meant was, Luciora said that he converted a Crockett to a Black Watch, per the fluff, and I wondered what he meant by that.  Rereading it now, I realize that I mistook Black Watch for a Black Knight, especially since he's using a Black Knight head.  I thought that he was trying to say that someone, somewhere in the Lore had converted a Crockett to a Black Knight.  But now I think that he was saying that he did some conversion work to make the Crockett a member of the Black Watch.  Do I have the right of it now?

Sorry, auto correct changed it from Black Watch to Black Knight originally.  And yes, it was a reference to the original text saying Black Watch mechs were designed from the Crockett chassis.

If they take your lives, can't they just take your mechs after that? That's sort of the point of lose the meat save the metal?

Looks good. Black Pants Legion's video on the Black Watch is wonderful and whenever I see their paint job, I think of all the fine quotes about them basically being too talented and stubborn to die.

You mean the Guerra on Terra videos, or some video I'm totally unable to find?  When I search, all I find is meta commentary by a variety of other folks...
