sideshowscott Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I finally finished my redeemer, seems that pretty much everytime I post a battle report with pics someone knocks my scheme on the 4th company, "too much colour". To be honest I was a little disappointed. I always thought that the whole idea of the this site was to inspire and to encourage other members. Anyways here are the pictures of the model. Thanks everyone http://a.imageshack.us/img12/2558/008up.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img198/9489/009gwp.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img245/4492/011vl.jpg :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 First off, nice painting. I think it looks quite good. It is nice to see something different from the standard boring blue that everyone else does. Your paint scheme will really tie in that it is a Land Raider of the 4th company. Secondly the nice think about warhammer is you can paint your stuff whatever colours you want. As long as you are happy with screw everyone else. I have had some weird comments about some of my stuff that I have painted, but I stuck it out and said that I liked it the way it was. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I say, I am in love with your colour scheme (after seeing it in another thread of yours), the green makes it more interesting. Definitely envious of your painting standard, job well done I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideshowscott Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Just a few other pics to back up the scheme <_< http://a.imageshack.us/img260/8515/066k.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img30/728/017wr.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img18/5770/035eki.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm guessing that what other people were commenting on was that on the vehicles, the green looks less like a trim color and more like a secondary color scheme color. However, I like it and think it's an interesting use of it. Looks great, and the Land Raider is definitely cool looking, as well as the other models. Cool stuff! Keep it up. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Looking great mate, I can see what people are saying in terms of the Land Raider, there is a bit too much green on that for it to be a trim, but as for the other stuff those guys are obviously just not man enough to handle the colour <_< . Your colours are very crisp and clean though and your models do look stunning, not to sure about the aquila under the aquila on the Drop Pod though. Looking forward to more.

Brother Valerius Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I love your use of the green trim, it really emphasizes that this is the 4th company. I agree with vharing, don't listen to the doubters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antioch Bethel Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 That is one thing about Space Marines that I don't like, i.e. the solid colors covering the whole model. I like your scheme a lot. It makes the 4th seems a little more noble, proudly wearing their colors (colours for some of you) for all to see. Especially in more recent fluff it seems this is the way things are going with Space Marines. It seems a lot of the fluff has Marines with their own flair or a uniqueness to their armor, even though they are still uniform with the rest of the squad. So I say two thumbs up!

sideshowscott Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 thank you, sure, I too agree with the pod comment it was one of my earlier models. http://a.imageshack.us/img255/4480/019h.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img163/7861/016ltu.jpg :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I think your army LOOKS good, but the issue I have with it is that as far as the fluff is concerned it's just completely wrong. For example: Land Raiders, Terminators, and Veterans all belong to the 1st Company, and there's no such thing as a Sergeant with a Heavy Weapon. As long as you like it that's all that really matter tho, right? *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I like the green - you don't see the 4th Company of any chapter really, everyone seems to go for the 2nd with Ultras or the 3rd and 5th with regards to Imp. Fists, so a little something away from the herd is always refreshing to see. It may be my wonky eyesight playing up again, but it seems to have the effect of making the blue more vivid in a way.

sideshowscott Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 I respect your comment, after all we are battle brothers. The idea of the heavy bolter was to represent the red devestator scheme. Maybe I went over the tiop with the colour? If you look you will also see in the same phote a sagent with a powerfist and no helmet also he has the gold trim to represent his rank. I simply introduced more colour to the chapter to make the company unique. Thanks for the feedback brother :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I was thinking of the Drop Pod above all - that thing is superb :P My point was that the blue and the green work nicely together and compliment each other perfectly - what shade of green is that, anyway? Need to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I really like these guys. My DIY army is 4th Company and on my tank I've used a fair bit of green. Well done I say :tu: Is the green Snot Green by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowscott Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Firstly thank you all for your kind compliments, I am very greatfull, Im sure you can all understand how much a nice comment means after hours of painting. . .lol. :huh: http://a.imageshack.us/img441/8213/036kx.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img180/9308/002or.jpg secondly brothers I would be honoured to share my techneque. Its a combination of Darkangle green, snot green and scorpion green. All gradually built up using 1:1 mix's and blending shades. http://a.imageshack.us/img696/3851/063kws.jpg I and also starting a Salamander chapter, with the assistance of forgeworld.

alloyslayer Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 really well done on the painting! nice and crisp. also i salute you along with the rest of our 4th company players out there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battleflag Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I like it. The painting is really well done, which for me is like 80% of what makes a mini look good in my books. Maybe some people have a problem with it because there is so much of a colour that typifies another chapter (salamanders). But like i said, it looks wicked.

ShinyRhino Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I like them. They really remind me of the 8th Company (?) Rhino with similar grey trim work in the Marine Codex. Breaks up the sea of blue nicely, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
