Slyen Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 So I got some of my marines primed up a while ago and I was having issues until a few days ago on what exactly I wanted to do with them. I wanted for the longest time to come up with a separate chapter as I had been building a Black Consuls. So a few days ago, with some help from a friend I finally came up with a name and sort of a paint scheme. I figured on painting up a test model from the poor souls who were ravaged by bad primer I foolishly did not test on say a sprue first (well lesson learned) and when I finished he looked fairly familiar. Some where along the lines the Golden Sons became Imperial Fists, minus all of the iconography of course. So I guess what I am asking for is for advice on a paint scheme that will avoid confusion. I figured that all of the line infantry would be a yellow color while the veterans were painted up with the yellow being replaced with metallic gold. Maybe I should change this to be a darker, bronze like metallic paint for the regulars? I'm fairly limited in the paints department but it can be fixed in time. Also, including a few pictures of the messy test dummy: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187045-imperial-imitators/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester_prince Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I can suggest a solution to your primer woes. Dettol, strips plastics safely, will allow you to test on minis as-well. Id suggest maybe quartering the colours? or changing the panels the red is on. Perhaps red grieves, helmet and shoulder trim.

Liberame Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 at first glance i thought it was an angry marine hip thrusting at the enemy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187045-imperial-imitators/#findComment-2212839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyen Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 You know... I could always do them instead. I've got enough arms that it would not be out of the question for a hip-thrusting angry marine...
