Paradigm Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 This is a small renegade squad I've been working on. Hoping for c&c, ideas etc. Really need help with a color scheme. The fluff for the squad describes them as part of a chapter recently declared excommunicate. They were victims of an inquisitor's accusations. Now they hide out in the Tau Empire raiding tau colonies to maintain themselves, and kidnapping gue'vesa to use as recruits. Because they have been forced to rely on enslaved tau earthcaste to maintain their equipment, their wargear has taken on a bit of an xenos flavor. Their emblem is an upside down anchor, as I've drawn inspiration from the Seleucid Empire, and the story of Alexander the Great's Silver Shields. http://i44.tinypic.com/261hyk9.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/50p6yq.jpg This project is still very work in progress, I'll be adding grenades and satchels, loincloths, "purity" seals, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163827-renegades-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 They look very good so far, and I really like the fluff you've got going! I don't know if it ties in with your line of thinking, but there are a Chaos Renegade Chapter named "The Purge". They generally just go around, enslaving and killing everything in their path. Mind you, they're hardly recent. I think you've set a very good foundation to create your own Renegade Chapter, though. The Souldrinkers, however, are also Excommunicate Traitors, and they have quite a few nifty twists that could make things very interesting!

Captain Mick Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Nice fluff indeed and nice conversions, good job :P . Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163827-renegades-project/#findComment-1925733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 The purge is actually an awesome scheme, but the fluff, though similar, doesn't really match. One color scheme I've been thinking about is based on the purge actually so it's kind of funny you mention them. The scheme switches the green to a terracotta and the black becomes anodized. Not sure though as my test mini ended up looking so much like an iron lord that I ended up painting over his pauldrons and turning him into one.

mega_marines Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If you want my personal taste on what thei color scheme should be, I reccomend black with some area in a steel tone in order to give them a very advanced look while still fitting in with the Space Marine concept of bare metal and big guns.

Paradigm Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 What do you think? We could say they stripped the paint from their armor, to extinguish their former selves, when they went renegade. http://i40.tinypic.com/2cxvp8p.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163827-renegades-project/#findComment-1927720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_marines Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It works, though power armor is pure steel colored if they stripped it. You could say their armor became so inherently dirt and dust covered that the chemicals in the air of the planet they had a massive campaign on stained their armor that brownish tinge, or something to that like.

cathar the great Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 That scheme looks pretty good. You could paint the parts scavenged from Tau in a very vibrant color like light blue or orange to get some contrast on them.

Paradigm Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I thought that ceramite was a ceramic? I think for the scavenged parts I will go with white, or maybe have them look like they were indeed scavenged. IE each a different color/ battle damaged etc. this weekend I'll paint a test mini and go from there.
