Tanhausen Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I continue in my quest of fiding a different RW scheme and since most of the feedback I got from the cammo scheme are quite...indifferent? Im considering going for a bone schem with black armour. Im gonna test it this afternoon...any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Why not try another way of painting black instead of changing the whole scheme? Using blues or greys would make em look different yet the same :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Wayward, the problem is I dont like dark bikes. Unless you go the harley theme, and chrome is hard to do properly, I cant do NMM. The bike is now primed white, sepia ink, dark brown base, light brown light, ivory light...waiting for the ivory to dry and will do another sepia ink and then clean un with ivory. Everything by AB...you can expect pics in 1 hour aprox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Ok... here is the quick test, just a couple hours messing around with the colours. The metallic parts are just 1 silver + devland mud...and the rider is flat black. I'm basically concerned if the DW scheme you think works or doesn't for the bikes. http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv140/T3mp4n0/IMG00178-20110402-2106.jpg http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv140/T3mp4n0/IMG00179-20110402-2106.jpg Basically just a yes/no as an answer is enough, but if someone is feeling like giving advice... that'd be great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelballer Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I think the color looks pretty good. Although I think it might look a bit nicer if you used the devlan wash on the white rather than sepia. For my tastes the sepia turns it too pink/red rather than the intended bone white. But its your army so paint it the way you like. Either way I think the bone works just fine for the bike.

Grimdarkness Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Is there not a story of a black and white marine on his black and white bike? As for a yes or no. No if you do not want black bikes why not green stuff some camo netting for the bike and have it rolled up on the back of the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonhinge Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The pinkishness of the sepia doesn't bother me that much, but then I've seen quite a few vehicles that drove up from really dusty parts of Oklahoma, where the dust is fairly red, and on a light colored car, does give it a pinkish tinge. In fact, to me these do look (in their current state) like they have been deployed on a world/area that full of such dust. The white/bone is fine, and it breaks up the potential monotony of an all-black army. Heck, I'm still trying to decide on DA or a DA Successor for a paint scheme, so any time someone paints something "different", I'm all for it. (And from looking at the armies at my FLGS, anything with 3 colors on it is Golden Demon material. We're not even talking "Primarines", for the most part. Soooo much grey plastic. And primered metals.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 @grimdrakness I dont know the story about the BnW. The cammo roll, some bikes will carry it, this is a broken model I have around to test schemes. @stonehinge Its a dirty bone, to match up with my DW, since its a double wing build. And certainly, friendly games and even local tournaments, Id say only 10-20% are painted armies and usually only 1 or 2 at tabletop level. But in the reserves for a GT and they require TT...and Im nowhere close...3 weeks time! @wheelballer The sephia does bring out a reddish tone...but I like it since it gives a bit of sense of decay/rustyness, not so clean. However, Ill do a quick test tomorrow to see how DM works. @ In general My build is 11 terminators, 3 AB, 12 bikes all in DW scheme, sammy in bike in classic scheme and... 3 LS. Would you guys do them also in bone? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Welle it's nearly one year old now but I've painted bone/green RW for Inkaras Linky The bone was Iyanden Yellow Bleached Bone Gryphonne sepia wash Bleached bone on the edge Highlight with 50-50 Bleached Bone/Skull White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoyoteGospel Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm basically concerned if the DW scheme you think works or doesn't for the bikes. Personally, I think the DW scheme works with everything! (Though black bikers on a DW-schemed bike might be too much contrast IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 If you did the "Face"of the marine the same color and maybe the trim of the shoulder pads I think it would tie the rider to the bike better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Darius Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I like Master Avoghai's scheme better. The bone is too White Scar'ish for me. Though if you choose to go that route, I think that Jeff Jedi is on to something with the rider scheme's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freman Bloodglaive Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 My marines are quartered green and bone, as are the bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 The overall concept sounds like an excellent idea. After all, the more bone color you can paint, the better. Unfortunately, the bike looks more like it has skin stretched over it. Which seems more like something Bile or Slaanesh would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Wow, thanks for all the comments! As for putting bone into the armour, it looks a bit like a successor chapter( dont remember the name), and Id prefer to keep it first founding. However, the armour now was flat black, Im gonna give it a couple of grey lights and a soft black wash. Regarding the bone, I agree its not nice and neat and Ill probably try to get it cleaner...at least in the big flat areas. Thanks for the formula, I guess so many browns give it the dusty/dirty feeling. Hopefully later todat I can post some pics :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 On a side note. I also think that black is a little hard to work with cos it lacks relief and if you highlight it too much your bike seems gray... That's why I've tried to make blue highlights like Master Toddius did and I'm really happy with that. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2119.jpg Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanhausen Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 The bone was Iyanden Yellow Bleached Bone Gryphonne sepia wash Bleached bone on the edge Highlight with 50-50 Bleached Bone/Skull White The bone in the edge you mean on the big flat surfaces, leaving the crevaces dark or really only the edge? Because the big flat areas are quite dirty with the wash right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Here we go with the above bone scheme. As usual, the other details are just very fast to give overall impression. http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv140/T3mp4n0/IMG00181-20110403-2219.jpg http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv140/T3mp4n0/IMG00180-20110403-2219.jpg http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv140/T3mp4n0/IMG00182-20110403-2220.jpg Questions: 1.- Do you like the idea? :P 2.- I redid the handles in the end, adding sepia to bring thm out. Also de wing with the DW icon (unfinished). Does it work or should I leave it like the rest? 3.- The highlights seem a bit bland to me... are they enough or would you do them more extreme? Thanks!

Phreshwing Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Take a look at my Death/Ravenwing army for some example of matching the two together if you like mate :D http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=193413 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/waargh/Minitures/P1150743.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/waargh/Minitures/P1150747.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/waargh/Minitures/P1110417.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 As for putting bone into the armour, it looks a bit like a successor chapter( dont remember the name), and Id prefer to keep it first founding. My successor uses the face and shoulder trim that way, but is also bone from the elbow pads down to the hands and from the knee pads to the feet, however mine is DiY, don't think there is an official successor that is shown with the bone face and shoulder trim like that on the Ravenwing. If you are going to do white on the faring wings, then the two fenders being bone is probably too much. If you are trying to break up the monotony of the black, try some bone colored markings on the fenders and do the body of the Bike in a dark gunmetal with highlights.

Tanhausen Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hadnt thought of the feathers with the bone...i was intending violet and ice blue highlights. If you check the other post (cammo RW) youll see how it works. As for the bases, I was thinking either mud or lava... What do you guys think would work better?

Because the big flat areas are quite dirty with the wash right now... No really on the edges. If your flat areas look dirty it's because you hadn't diluted your wash enough or because you left "bubbles" of ink in the middle of those flat areas. Those bubbles, once they had dried, has left some dirty traces on the flat areas. If you really take the time to apply your ink and leave almost nothing in your flat areas, then, you'll see they won't be so dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Diluting...wash? emmmm If I say that I do my own washes (matte medium, water and acrylic pigments) and that I don't dilute them... am I doing something wrong? ;) Now seriously, I do my own washes which are lighter than the GW ones. Mine have a nice covering and while the stand out quite a bit, they aren't so harsh. So what I usually do is cover the whole model with them. Now I'm thinking I'd better only do the crevaces. Anyhow, your bone recipe is awesome: really fast, doable by AB except for the final highlights. Its a shame I don't do IF... they seem so easy now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
