Scheme Reference
The Dawn Guards generally use a white and golden yellow scheme. The yellow is painted diagonally across the ‘Mech from the top of the right shoulder to the bottom of the left leg and the white covers the lower half of the ‘Mech. While this is the standard scheme, the regiment has also been known to paint its units in primer gray, olive drab, or other colors appropriate to the deployed environment.

Artist Notes
This is a Thunderbolt in House Davion’s Dawn Guard colors. It started with a black primer from Rustoleum. All other paints were Army Painter Fanatic. The yellow side began with a heavy dry brush of Daemonic Yellow. Dry brush was chosen as a way to apply the yellow with decent coverage. After the proper coverage was achieved, a Soft Tone wash diluted with Wash Medium was applied. A light dry brush of Daemonic Yellow and Ice Yellow followed to even out the stains from the wash. The white side was also a heavy dry brush of a very light grey from White and Ash Grey. A diluted Dark Tone wash was then applied, with a dry brush of White to follow. Gun barrels and joints were painted with Cobalt Metal metallics. The cockpit canopy was done with Imperial Navy, Crystal Blue, Bright Sapphire, and White.
