Captain Mike Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Well they look just like normal men too me. Sternguards usually have special equipment not just robes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood515 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Ok, that's my scheme, mechrite red then scab red over it with shining gold trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Phoenix Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 it's not exactly a clever scheme, so why argue? It's essentially the same as a hundred ruinous schemes except painted to a loyalist. many, many tasteful schemes have been done. Most have been done more than once. These guys do look a bit standard to me. at least some veteran insignia would not be amiss. I do tend to over-adorn my guys but i think when people see these they'll go "oh, red DA tacticals" like I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood515 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well they look just like normal men too me. Sternguards usually have special equipment not just robes. When resources are low (and i am reffering to bitz, not money) the basic thing to remember about sterngaud is that they are just veterens with boltguns, and maybe boltgun varients, so robes say "look!, i'm a veteren" EDIT: WHAT IDEA DID YOU USE FROM STEELMAGE??

Iron Phoenix Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 by codex standard all veterans in a veteran squad should wear a Saltire in the color matching their chapter's other insignia (white or black generally) as well as a veteran's cross (the cross that used to represent terminator honors but is now worn by all veterans regardless of squad). Beyond that, a chapter badge would help a great deal. With those proper markings I think they will begin to come together. I also suggest very strongly blending the robes to a softer and more even finish. the thick and slightly sloppy application of white just isn't bringing out the forms properly. Do these things and you will have a very sexy unit :P cheers :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Phoenix Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 oops! Just realized that the saltire might be specifically for vanguard squads and assault squads, so a codex check is in order before you might go do that part . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
