Decisions
While I spend the next week or so highlighting the armour, I'm looking ahead and thinking about how I'm going to do other parts of the model. So I've turned to my test Marines to try out some ideas.
Firstly, the Aquila on the chest - my first thought was to do this in red, I've slapped a base coqr of Mephiston Red on, but I worry that won't stand out against the helmet.
Second idea - black. One coat of Black Legion Contrast - yeah, I think that's too dark, it doesn't stand out enough.
Another idea: gold. I almost dismissed it, as I didn't think it'd look right with the grey armour and red helm, but I think it's looking the best of the three attempts. Just a coat of Retributor Armour, but it's effective:
Next we have the punches, holsters and cuirass(es?) - first test was two coats of Basilicanum Grey; top dark, possibly:
Then Snakebite Leather (taking the traditional approach! )
Finally, Screamer Pink base, but with (on the left) Basilicanum Grey, and on the right Nuln Oil; I did wonder if red-ish colour for these would clash with the red helmets, but I'm liking the one with the Basilicanum Grey on it the more I look at it:
Obviously these would get highlighted accordingly, but it's good to test, see what works/looks best, before making a final choice. Certainly better than trying something that I end up not being happy with..!
Anyway, back to highlighting the armour...
