Uhric_Duval Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Just painted up a test mini for my chaos renegade warband. I've been dabbling around with painting an army based on one of the core chaos legions, but the style of the new chaos codex doesn't have the same 'feel' of the legions as the old 3.5 codex did. So...I decided to do my own chapter of renegades... The mini isn't quite done yet. It still needs some inking, highlighting, and a few details finished. I'm wondering if I could get some advice and criticisms on the color scheme and how I could make it stand out. Here's the color concept done using the B&C chaos painter.

taLLis Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hey there mate! Really like the colour scheme. Especially with the bone on the helmet, one thing i am not too keen on though is the gray parts of armour, only because it looks very close to the base colour it starts off as. Maybe a darker/lighter shade would look better? or maybe even a metallic? - Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0NEW0LF Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 i agree the grey could do with darkening to give it a more sinister look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhric_Duval Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 How dark of a grey? Like almost-black grey or something lighter? Be posting updates soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icallitsoda Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Or.. what about making the body (grey areas) bone, like the helmet, and just do away with the grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Nugz Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Try a black grey and see what that looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhric_Duval Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Here's the test mini with some highlights and a darker gray. The picture doesn't show the new gray clearly because of the lighting, but its there. So what do you think? Darker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhric_Duval Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sorry for the double post, but I was wondering what kind of highlight I should use for the gray areas. A codex gray extreme highlight, or something more blendy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardus Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Nice mini. I think that the gray should be a bit darker then highlighted with codex or fortress gray. To make him a little more sinister, I would darken up the red too. Looks like a Blood Angles red, when a World Bearers red would look better imho. Ardus.
