Coalition Military Patches/Insignia

Unread post by Grafsburg »

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what color the various Coalition military insignias in RUE (pages 233 to 237) might be?

Reason I ask is because a friend of mine wants to do some art of our characters, and he's curious enough to have me come on here and ask :D . Specifically, we're looking for the Military Specialist and Dog Pack. We're trying to do something a bit different than the standard black, white, and gray of course.

Anyway, any answers'd be appreciated.

you MAY want to speak to a Col. McBride Tyson on these boards since he has created a custom CS uniform and I beleive he also made patches for it.
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D

In making my 2D paper miniatures for game play, for their backs I included colorized versions of the various emblems you're looking at. They were carefully colored with the Adobe color change feature and a drawn-in selection pattern to isolate the various sections, thus preserving the unique texture design.

Communications Insignia: royal blue on the boarder, medium blue for the main field with light blue for alternating radio-wave rings, and yellow lightning bolts.

Armor Insig: Yellow boarder, leather brown for the field, and I kept the spider-skull black and white.

CS Cyborg Insig (pulled form one of the Rifters that slapped on one of my articles :)): Dark blue boarder with a deep purple field, while the black and white fist went uncolored.

CS Infantry Insig: Medium green boarder, OD green field with yellowish green pixels, yellow lightning bolts, as is B&W skull with a little white added here and there for better contrast.

CS Medic Corps Insig: Dark red boarder, medium rad on the cross, as is B&W wings and halo, angle's body is a lighter gray, blond hair so he doesn't look so Christ-like.

CS Specialist Insig:Bright green boarder, crimson red field, dark green laurel, and as is B&W for the skull and wings with a little strategically located white for added contrast.

CS Weapon Spec Insig: Medium yellow boarder, golden field, as is B&W for the C-27 and sword.

CS Dog Pack Insig:Black boarder, black field with gray pixels, yellow moon/sun, two-tone orangish-brown coat on the dog with a light gray under his chin, burning orange eyes, and as is B&W on the spiked collar

Psi-Stalker Insig: wide black boarder, royal purple field, yellow lightning bolts, crimson red on the third eye, and as is B&W on the skull with a little strategically placed white for added contrast.

SAMAS Insig: Yellow boarder, sky blue field, pale yellow on the eagle's legs and beak, a touch of brown in his tale, and as is B&W for the rest.

These are all in JPEG format, so if you PM me your e-mail address, I'd gladly send them right over.

Have you already made your Papaer Minis? I did a bunch of papaer minies but did them so they could more 3d. They are pretty damn close to 25mm scale too....
