I am very happy to finally be able to share this piece! I canonized this scheme recently as there are no written descriptions of how this unit is meant to be depicted. So, I pushed my idea up the chain, and got it approved.

The unit description and insignia notes are as follows:

Scheme: Howl Keshik equipment is painted a pearl white reminiscent of a full moon. Dark blue is added along the top center line, and on the right shin of 'Mechs and Battle Armor.

Insignia:

Keshik warriors display Delta Galaxy's insignia on the lower right leg of 'Mechs and the right wing of fighters. Since the conquest of Terra, warriors add a mural of Luna on the lower left leg of 'Mechs and the left wing of fighters. As a sign of pride, Bloodnamed warriors paint their mural as a lunar eclipse, or "Blood Moon".

I really wanted to give Clan Wolf something unique and completely different than anything else within the touman, and because they dont have any white schemes, I figured I would play into the name of Howl Keshik. The idea being: wolves howl at the moon (allegedly) sp the moon inspired the scheme; the moon shimmers white in the sky with different subtle hues depending on the time of day or moon phase; the association of Blood Named and "Blood Moon" were too good not to pass up.

I do have one more mini releasing soon with a Blood Moon on its left leg. These were a blast to paint, and I'll definitely paint more in the future.

What do you think?

I needed to paint this one for the Iron Wind Metals online catalogue, so I figured I would add it into my TDF. Being that this is the "Primitive" Griffin, I figured it would fit right in alongside some other Periphery level tech.

An easy kitbash to make, all that needed to be swapped was the AC2 under the nose for an LRM10 pod. In this case I used a Metal Core Collectibles bit from a vehicle kit.

The canopy here was a fun little creation. I enjoy using colors that contrast the primary paint scheme, and when going for a two tone effect, I like to have those colors contrast each other as well.

All in all, I feel the green and purple here was a good choice that really stands out against the bright yellow and blue stripes of the scheme.

What do you think?

I'm a big fan of QuadMechs due to the goofiness of them, and this one in particular has some notable nostalgia.

The 6H variant was a relatively easy kitbash and gave me an opportunity to make this thing more unique. The base in particular was quite fin to cobble together and really adds to the ambiance.
