lunchb0x Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The following paint jobs are FRONTLINE models, so its a rush paint job. Not trying to win any awards, just want the models paint and on the table fast! Min. Highlights and shadows...a kind throwback to 2nd edition. I am still torn about "dirtying" up the rhino. I decided to go with a suedo marpat style paint job on the rhino...just to break up the standard colors. I cut paper tape into small squares and stick it over the black paint job. First time painting a tank!!

Bran Scalphunter Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Epic LotD there mate, now you just need to use them in a game in the dark. Heh, Night Fighting for real... :) Everything there's nice, it's got a no-nonsense look that I like. Simplicity is best sometimes, eh Lunchb0x?

Vash113 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 As nifty as the glow in the dark paint is I just don't see the why. Also the digital camo is not a bad idea, but needs several more colors and more coverage to look good IMO. The Grey Hunter looks pretty good though.

WolfLordLars Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yea, the camo on the rhino looks good, but could use more in different colors. I might have to give that a try myself...

I thought of going with further colors, but then it really kinda pulled more away from the SPACE WOLFYness of the tank...and lot of details would end up being lost in it.

Vash113 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Why not do glow in the dark paint? Because when do you play in the Dark? I have yet to play in a store where even turning off the lights would make it dark enough to see the glow. I thought of going with further colors, but then it really kinda pulled more away from the SPACE WOLFYness of the tank...and lot of details would end up being lost in it. Yes it would get away from the wolfiness, but then again digital camo doesn't work with just one color on a blank background.

I have yet to play in a store where even turning off the lights would make it dark enough to see the glow. Neither have I , but I dont think anyone else has done it, so why not do it!! Plus when you have about million cans of glow in the dark spray paint laying around...might as well put them to use!!!

I said it was suedo marpat...so not really it, just taking cues from it...hell I could also say its ww2 german style paint scheme or something it would still work !!

Castus Xanthis Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Marines never camo anything, period. You did a good job with the paint itself but it just doesn't work for SM. Go with guard if you want camo tanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157782-speaking-of-large-horned-beasts/#findComment-1846613 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 i based my opinion on the 4th edition SM codex, which trait system described a chapter not using stealth or infiltrate due to pride....and on reviewing that section i am dead wrong. oops, my bad. other thsn scouts, i cannot remember any marines using camo. raven guard are already mostly black, so i guess they dont need anymore. wolf lord kieran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157782-speaking-of-large-horned-beasts/#findComment-1846627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The only occasion of a Chapter apparently using camo was the Raptors who changed their scheme to olive green when trapped on the death world Jemedal, and have now supposedly returned to their origional colors of yellow and blue. However that's the only occasion I can think of.

WolfLordLars Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thats what I like about Space Wolves... its all up to the Wolf Lord. "Hey, slap some other colors on that rhino so it will blend in." "But, Wolf Lord Bob, Space Marines dont use camo." "The hell you say! We are hunters, not prey, and by Russ you will put that paint on that rhino before I bury this boot so far up your hind parts you will be coughing shoe-laces!"

Combat_Vet Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I like the Rhino (paint scheme and all!) My first Wolves used forest camo (but that WAS the rogue trader days) The paint looks great for table top. The glowing paint on the LotD is interesting. Makes them almost look "ghost like" when you play. Plus they would be really easy to find if you lost one.

Wolf89 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The rhino doesn't speak wolves to me at all, but rather a really cool geeky SM branch, however it's really neat and it's pleasing to the eye. As for the glow in the dark minis... those are bound to be a conversation piece. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157782-speaking-of-large-horned-beasts/#findComment-1846642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
