That would be me, wasn't that much work actually. Just selecting the blue areas, desaturate, brighten and add an overlay with the proper grey tone, then a new color overlay. Excluding your "greebles", vents and stuff from the recoloring was more work (the Scimitar was almost more vents than armor plates), but i really appreciate it thanks.
The comment just sounded like you wouldn't bother doing grey/blue textures any longer because they aren't about to be used, which would be a damn shame. Personally i really like the Privateer/WC3 scheme.
