CelestialSon Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Love it, just the right amount of drab and flashy. They're blue, but the gray helps to take away the smurf effect of straight ultramarine colors. The gold is a good secondary color as well. The only thing that seems out of place is the red. The eye gets draw to that first instead of the blue gray, kinda makes the weapons look bigger than they are when combined with the gold, but that could be the perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DibbZi Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 So are you looking to take them as a successor chapter? Because the Eagle Warriors them selves are successor chapter of the Ultramarines. So if you take them as a successor, you can name them just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are three that just came into my head: Iron Scars Sons of Helios Have you thought about what kind history/style they are based Off? That can always add to the naming cause.

Captain Mike Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 These guys are cool. Usually lots of gold turns out really gaudy, but you seemd to have pulled it off okay. I think guns should be gunmetal, but you've done them well. Shadow Guard is a cool name. Try writing a history first, and then draw real life parallels to that, and get your name from there (so if thier world is aztec-ish, have them named Jaguar Warriors. Poor example but hey).

barry_hhh Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 here another wip guy , http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/Picture034.jpg http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/Picture035.jpg http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/Picture036.jpg his left arm is from the old metal master of the ravenwing i think , it matches that torso perfectly not sure about what head he will get yet , what do you all think?

igloo Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 really good colour scheme, the use of the gold creates a really nice contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think I'm a bit late to suggest a name, but I just thought up a good one: The Terrahawkes Good painting as always :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the thousandth whisper Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 ahhhh! stop making me look bad! :pinch: sorry, but those are really nice, only one little thing, I do not like the red, if you kept the marines within gold blue and grey, it would be really satisfying for me, but I guess that's just my opinion.

verpine Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I like the name shadow guard. Mind if I do a paint scheme like yours? (with a bit less gold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kable Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The Shadow Guard definitely suit the scheme in my opinion and its a interesting name. They are looking really good thus far especially the gold which brings out the model. Excellent job barry_hhh and looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
