My take on the 3rd Bear Guards of Clan Ghost Bear's Alpha Galaxy. I've really come to love the Ghost Bears after spending time with them in MechWarrior 2 and 5. And their paint scheme for their Alpha Galaxy is one of my favorites in the Battletech universe.

Grey Armor w/ Blue "Clouds" and Stars

When working on this step, be sure to space your "clouds" out a fair bit and vary them in size. You still want the underlying black to show through in between the clouds to help them stand out.

Don't be afraid to go back to previous colors while stippling, or to tidy up a bit using the base coat. Just keep working it until you're happy with the transitions and the results.

1. Prime using Mechanicus Standard Grey
2. Start with a base coat of Death Reaper
3. Using a dry brush or a sponge, liberally stipple Dungeon Stone Grey in random areas across the mech where you wish to create your "clouds"
4. Again, using a dry brush or a sponge, stipple Wizard Grey over top of the cloud outlines from the previous step, being careful to avoid the edges and focus slightly more towards the center
5. Repeat the previous step, getting closer and closer to the center each time and stippling a much smaller area, using these paints in this order: The Fang , Macragge Blue , Alaitoc Blue , Teclis Blue , and Baharroth Blue
6. Once you're finished with the clouds, shade the recesses using Black Templar
7. Edge highlight all over using Stegadon Scale Green followed by Dungeon Stone Grey
8. Perform a more selective edge highlight using
