Malidor Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So I've decided it's time to repaint, repair and reconstruct my mess of Space Marines - but I'm sick of the existing colour (purple). Having played around with a few ideas I've settled on two - but I can't decide which one I like better! --- Option 1 - A bit faster to paint as 50% of the existing collection is already purple Quartered Liche Purple and Bleached Bone with Chaos Black trim: (The Bleached Bone will be layered on a base of Kommando Khaki to give it some depth) http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2355/2/14/781364831/n781364831_2131306_2112.jpg --- Option 2 - Satisfies my desire for a quartered colour scheme ...but is it too Inquisitorial? Quartered Codex Grey and Skull White with Scab Red trim: (The Skull White will be layered on a base of Fortress Grey to give it some depth) http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2355/2/14/781364831/n781364831_2131269_528.jpg --- Images from my Facebook album so fingers-crossed the link works for everyone :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161128-a-new-paint-scheme-for-my-marines/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I like both! Maybe you could incorporate both some how? One quarter gray, one tan, one purple, one white =-D it'd look kinda retarded..but it might be cool....might...not even.. =-P Go with the purple. You don't see that everyday.

Freakiq Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I say go purple, it will stand out more and look more interesting than grey and white.

Hubernator Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Both are pretty good, I'm more liking the white and greay scheme personally.

Bigdog Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yep the white and grey works better for me too. Especially the scheme for the guy on bottom right of the piccie.

Malidor Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks all for the comments and feedback. After a test model of each I decided to take it easy on myself and go with a much simpler scheme: http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2624/2/14/781364831/n781364831_2199333_1377665.jpg Codex Grey (slightly highlighted to Fortress Grey) with Chaos Black and Desert Yellow detailing. Much less exciting - but much less hassle :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161128-a-new-paint-scheme-for-my-marines/#findComment-1906611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
