Cigar_of_Nurgle Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I'm trying to paint a Violators CSM squad for my Lost and Damned army ,but I am having some trouble on how to get that blue color. Does anyone have any hints or guides on how to achieve that nice blue color? It looks like some kinda blue with an ink wash but I cannot really tell. http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp306/The_poxes/iron%20warriors/Violators_mini.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narse Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I don't mean to be a smart ass but that looks like purple to me... maybe i'm color blind... maybe an indigo blue... but i still think getting that color would be easier from a purple base. I would go with, 0) a. prime gray 1) medium purple, 2) dark purple ink or light black ink, 1-3 coats 2) a. i'd finish the silver and skin at this stage 3) medium-light purple dry brush 4) white with a dab of purple dry brush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Lol, you're both right, it's right in between. Enchanted blue with a purple wash will be just about right. Also, as per 'Daemon World' by Ben Counter, the Violators only remove their helms and armour for a extremely challenging and delicious foe, or a chosen of Slaneesh. Don't forget when you're modeling em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar_of_Nurgle Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 That make sense. thanks alot this will make my life so much easier now. :D I was about to have a stroke figuring this out. I did a test model and was kinda dissapointed. I'm kinda enjoying this chapter alot. Its different in that it is not the standard csm that you see on the tables. I have my Iron warriors and enjoyed painting them, but the violators paint scheme is really nice and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I agree. I almost built a squad of em for my army but changed my mind to Khornate SW's after reading the Dornian Heresy. Have you read 'Daemon World' yet? If not, pick it up when you can, it has the most info on the Violators to date. One thing I turned up while researching the fallen chapter...the dang symbol is a bit of a pain to see, its a dagger atop a blue lightning bolt, crossed. Just ask if you want any other info, I'd be glad to assist. Hope this helps, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis_Dominatus Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 These guys caught my eye too. I decided to make them my Chapter's archenemy. Lots of space for cool dioramas. If I remember correctly during the 13th Black Crusade they invaded a prison world and recruited from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Overlord Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 enslaved them lol They are called Violaters for a reason. :rolleyes: I was thinking about doing up a squad of Violaters at some point too, they have a nice, striking colour scheme which is quite different from my Word Bearers (besides the silver).

lfhoule Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I had to pull out my copy of the 3.5 ed codex before I wanted to post to be sure, but that codex listed the Violaters colors as Ultramarine Blue with Chainmail trim (pg. 76) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 That was before the age of washes, brother. The Enchanted Blue comes out a lot better with the purple washes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
