Trekari Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'd love some comments and criticisms of this new paint scheme for my army which I've titled "War Spectres." The concept is to attempt a cold, menacing look. I did NOT do highlights in the sense of the "light halo" method. All I've attempted to portray currently is a spectral-esque mood. Sorry for the poor pic quality - battery on the camera was dying and I wanted some C&C before I continue with more tests. The bleached bone may or may not stay on the gun, though I like the contrast it adds to the chest eagle area. http://home.comcast.net/~cavanaugh518/IMG_0950.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cavanaugh518/IMG_0951.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester262 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 intersting. Have any power armor pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Weaver Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Unless I miss my mark, that paint scheme looks pretty damn good. My advice: I would like closer pics to see the details and maybe clean up that storm bolter. Other than that, I think you have the effect you are looking for.

Trekari Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks for the replies. jester262- I don't have any power armour pics. The army itself is going to be Deathwing oriented, so my test mini naturally had to be a terminator. Many moons in the future I may have a PA guy, but not until I at least get some termies done. Scar Weaver - The 'detail' is lacking on this mini simply because the overall "test" was the main armour. The gun is messy, the chest eagle isn't as dialed in as I wanted, but with test guys, you have to draw the line somewhere. ;) Thanks for the kind words thus far, it really changes the desire to paint when you have a color scheme you're happy (and proud) about!

elijahdprophet Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I like it. It is actually a camo pattern that would work, I think, like Dazzle camo on navy ships. The shape of the Termie is broken up enough that it tricks the eye into not seeing it. Very 'ghostlike' I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezeki Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 very nice, like the effect of the patches of paint, not too sure about the fist, i would have differentiated it somewhat more, but the overall effect is very good. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I like it! Never really seen a colour scheme like this one,so thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekari Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks again to everyone with comments, good or bad! (I cannot stress how much of a motivating factor it is to paint when you come up with a color scheme that you LIKE) Rezeki - What did you have in mind with the powerfist to differentiate it? Paint the entire fist a different color, more highlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinor Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thats a really nice paintjob! The only thing that I can think of personally is that you should just try 'Spectres' or 'Night Spectres' 'War Spectres' just doesn't seem to roll of the tongue quite well.

PlagueMaster 1988 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Night spectres seems a bit lame, considering there are night lords and 'night' seems like such an overused or kinda boring word for an WIP army. I like spectres on its own, war spectres has a nice ring to it. But, I quite like battle spectres, or... death spectres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Exile Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I realy like that colour scheme. Love to see more :P But I'll have to agree whit Plague Master about the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekari Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 So here are a few pictures of a couple finished War Spectre Terminators using the Forgeworld shoulder pads..though I wasn't able to get the Crux Terminaturs photographed before the camera battery died and my lighting is less than ideal (shadows...) http://home.comcast.net/~cavanaugh518/HFlamerWS1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cavanaugh518/HFlamerWS2.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cavanaugh518/LClawWS1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cavanaugh518/LClawWS2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
