Megapol armour is looking good, but the Marsec armour looks weird (the original design had more gold and silver components, esp. in the arms) and the Disruptor armour might look better with a black or dark grey underlay in place of the red; you could never see the red details in Apoc anyway.

CoS armour looks more or less spot on though, at least from what I remember of using their temples full of goons as target practice for my troopers. The leaders should have fancy capes or something. :P
This isn't a strict conversion (which can't even be done, as of now), but is more of a tribute. It wants to make you remember Apoc, while still being partly its own thing.

About the armor, believe me: it's better for the armors to be as monochromatic as possible. Differently-colored details on them are a bad thing. The Disruptor armor will undergo some changes (too much details on the torso; helm too big; but the red will probably stay, I like it).

Those are armors from XCOM: Apocalypse.
No. They are obviously based on those from Apocalypse, but they are for OXC. I asked which mod are they from, so I could download them, obviously.

Of course, I wasn't assuming that (esp. since the OpenApoc teaser) but it was simply some thoughts on the matter. That particular combination of reds just looks really weird/bland with that much saturation and so few details, though from what I understand it's a palette limitation?

Thing is, the Megapol and Disruptor are reasonably recognizable - the Marsec to me is only recognizable with the company of the other two to provide context. If they weren't there, it would be "what's up with that weird red power/flying suit?".

The armor has some details; the problem is that the gradient of the red is kind of "narrow", so the results of using it is that it gives a "flatter" coloration compared to the rest of the colors.
Sadly: that red is the only one available; the only other "reddish" color in the palette, switches to orange-yellow in its lighter tones.
