A Second Line Star
The full content of the Clan Heavy Star had been marching towards Jade Falcon Gamma Galaxy's Solahma Cluster, being just a set of Second Line BattleMechs instead of OmniMechs in a Front Line Galaxy. My only other, and quite remote, option had been the Omega Galaxy I had used on the BanDai models.
I had even thought this out loud in irc as well, where the idea of painting some enemies was supported. So far I had a Star of Ghost Bears who participated in the Operation:REVIVAL, and another for the grumpy Home Clan, the Blood Spirits, so all five of these would belong to the same Clan. Story-wise the Smoke Jaguars didn't inspire me one bit, and their Alpha Galaxy's "Grey with spots" didn't make me jump with joy. Steel Viper and Nova Cat had been mostly side characters in the main storyline novels, so what did I have left beyond Wolf? I just really didn't want to add one more Clan Wolf / Beta Galaxy unit to the world, even if that was maybe the most recognized scheme of theirs.

I really really worked hard on my Clan and Galaxy choices. According to UCG the Delta looked more fun than Beta but as a term "lowland camo" said absolutely nothing to me before a good amount of ddg searches. Camospecs' Delta photos showed a yellowish torso with black triangles, which didn't sound too much fun to paint, like I didn't find those appealing when working on the Blood Spirit scheme. Then there was the command unit of Delta, the Red Keshkik, which was dark grey that faded into brown going upward. That just wasn't a thing that anyone but a serious fan would recognize as a Clan Wolf scheme.
