Heroes of The Storm - Psychospacecow - 08-18-2015

[Image: 468px-Tychus_Notorious_Outlaw_2.jpg?vers...fec56aec32]
This is Tychus's 2nd palette for his base skin.



[Image: Tychus_Notorious_Outlaw_3.jpg]
This is his 3rd palette for that same skin.

Now, if you look at the higher up shoulder on his armor, you'll notice the second skin has a character from Overwatch in both of these skins.

The 2nd skin has Widowmaker.

The 3rd skin has Tracer.

As far as I can tell, the 1st palette is just a generic pin-up.
