alexious Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 So, I just got my copy of IA 10, and am working on an Executioners army. My biggest problem is color interpretation from the Forgeworld pics. The armor color appears to be shadow grey in tone to me, but I have also heard some people refer to it as a dark blue that is almost black. There is a chaplain on the first Executioners page who is in black power armor with the chapter color on his shoulder pads. It appears shadow grey to me, or possibly Regal blue in tone. Any one have any opinions on this, the more definitive the better. Thanks, A- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223453-executioners-armor-color/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 It's a metalic blue. To be honest even though I love the Executioners I hate how inconsistant their scheme is. You have metalic blue, and bits that seem to switch between brazen brass and bolt gun metal.

Studio Silvernale Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It looks like their backpacks are bronze colored as well... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223453-executioners-armor-color/#findComment-2672881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexious Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Are you sure about the metallic element? Forge World often has odd lighting on their marine armor to give it depth. The pics I'm looking at show the backpack the same color too.

Studio Silvernale Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm testing out a couple minis using Reaper Pro Paint blue steel with a couple washes of badab black.

Heru Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It looks like their backpacks are bronze colored as well... GW Brazen Brass (bronze has more orange in it). Are you sure about the metallic element? Forge World often has odd lighting on their marine armor to give it depth. The pics I'm looking at show the backpack the same color too. Yes I'm sure, as the only other Chapters who use that shader effect in the books are metallic (Astral Claws, Fire Angels, Minotaurs etc).

Studio Silvernale Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I emailed Forgeworld and was told that the Executioners have silvered backpacks, with veterans having the light bronze. Veteran sergeants have the light bronze on their helmets as well. The vanguard also have the light bronze around the mouth/face area.
