Jacobite Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Just wondering what color you all paint the purity seals on your BA's? I'm kinda stuck about what to go with - black is kinda tempting, green doesn't really with the pallet and I don't want blue as its already used. Red kinda fades into the armor unfortunately. What would you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gv0zD Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yellow (even golden). it contrasts with the red armor. but is still in line with the color scheme. Otherwise I'd go with green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ulkesh Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Mine are green, but I've seen others use purple or dark red, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient god Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I paint them darker red and they stand out nicely. Have a look at the models in my log to see if you like it. The armour is Blood Red and the seals are Mechrite Red highlighted with VMC Old Rose mixed into it (you can use Tallarn Flesh) and then washed with Devlan Mud. Edit: I fetched a pic frmo my log, makes it easier: Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I use brighter red (of course I use darker red armor marines). So, if I was playing actual Blood Angels I'd probably go for Scab Red. Purity seals look best in red to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 i go for orage highlighted yellow, though i used to do green/tourquise. but i find the yellow orange stands out without drawing away attention. where as reds dont stand out enough to me...

Brother-Captain Devlonir Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I use green myself. The purity seals and eyes are the green highlights on my red and black models. For Golden Boys I go for red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I just paint em red, but green would look king of cool if you are wanting them to pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfinger Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yellow (even golden). it contrasts with the red armor. hmmm....never thought of that, might need to try it on the RAS I am painting right now, if done right it might like good.

igotsmeakabob!! Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It's just colored wax, so any color is possible. I covered my kitbashed stormraven with purity seals, using a variety of colors to represent its venerable age and how many campaigns it had been through. On my marines I *typically* use green, but sometimes I use purple or teal for the veterans etc. If the armor isn't red (chaplains+librarians) I use red.

Hengist Ironfang Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hmm around 3rd ed dark angels/snot green seemed to be the colour of preference, nowadays GW seem to have gone purple in all their models for BA, i prefer to stick with green eye lenses, green purity seals and purple gemstones.

Rybnick Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Mine are all purple and I really like the look with a nice wash of badab black over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Nice paint job there Ancient God! What color do you use for highlights? I do mostly darker red purity seals. Sometimes I mix 'em up a bit and throw in a green, yellow, and even pinkish seal. It looks good when you have a bunch of seals like the clusters on vehicles, but the few green seals I've done on infantry I don't care for.

Black_Sky Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I paint them darker red, and give them a layer of red ink to give them a glossy finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Silver or gold are also options - some purity seals are made permanent (almost in the way of battle honours) and cast ot of precious metlas and re-affixed to the marines armour by the Chaplains...

ashrog Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Mine are Scorpion Green, same as their eyes. My BA's are kind of "Christmas-y" (lots of green details alongside the red) but I like how the colors complement one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shatter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I favor gold or purple. Green smacks of GS to me and red in any shade on a red marine may look smoother overall, it doesn't pop like BA bling should to me. Why gold and purple? Because we're worth it.

Midnightmare Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Greenstuff? The cheek :devil: B) Yup its green for me, because I paint power weapons green and the eyes are green so it sorta ties them all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
