Shortsonfire79 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I've seen Red tabbards, green ones, cream colored ones...why have there never been blue? I know it doesn't fit MY color scheme, but I want to do it anyways. I had painted..half painted a librarian, and I felt the blue wasn't dark enough, but I had already done the tabbard in cream. So I gave the guy a blue coat of Necron Abyss, and it turned the Tabbard a light blue. It looks decent. I might want to keep it like that. But why doesn't anyone ever have blue ones? (Maybe I can start ANOTHER trend(I've started some out of the WH40K world)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull_Lord Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Ive got a DIY chapter, quatered orange and white (scrapped for larger army creations due to annoying-to-paint shceme) with blue lenses, tabards, weapon casings, purity seal seals, and such. Looks quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liltom Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Very rarely see anything dyed blue... And it isn't a very pretty colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Blue is a gorgeous color...though, thats an opinion. Skull Lord, do you have any pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arutha Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I think they would look awesome paired up with some white power armor. I may try to do one up on my apothacary in my fist army, might look cool with the fist icon in the tabard paired up with some white armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scolar Visari Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I think its because blue goes badly next to green and is usually very bright in the GW paint range. Green is fits in well with the whole gritty nature of the 40k universe so blue isnt that common. As for blue tabbards....well I doubt that would look very good....superhuman fighters sporting this seasons new black - the blue tabbard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis_Dominatus Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Blue? Not pretteh? Blue is the sex, thank you very much. I dunno. Probs move this to Amicus though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Whats Amicus? Nobody really said anything about next to green only. I was just listing colors (and does it go well with red then?) I'm going to keep it on my librarian. I guess I'll post pics in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 This is what it looks like. Its very crude, as I wasn't aiming to make the tabbard look good in the first place. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_1694.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezeki Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 to be honest shorts, its very difficult to discern from the armour of the librarian. In this case, you need a contrasting colour. Blue is a good colour, but only in the right place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I've seen Red tabbards, green ones, cream colored ones...why have there never been blue?Never say never, :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah, like I said, it doesn't fit MY color scheme (black and blue) or the Librarians, but I think it looks pretty good considering. And Nihm's are the first ones I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
