Mr. Cardholder Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I don't paint often so I'm hoping if I start posting stuff that I'll get going. I'm hoping to start up my homebrew chapter, the Harbingers of Woe. I mocked up something in the painter, but I'm not sure if it's something I want to go with. Let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure about everything except for the helmet, I don't know if I want to do yellow, white, red, or just save white and red for veterans. Also and always at a loss for weapon colors.

Stroganoff Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Looks like a good design. I don't think I've seen any armies like it on the table top. I suggest painting up a test marine since then you'll get a much better appreciation of how the colours look. As for the weapon colours, personally I would try to keep the number of colours to a minimum to tie it all together so if you're using red on the aquila use that for the weapons as well.

Mr. Cardholder Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 So to start this off, I painted my first model in...six? years. First time painting yellow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Looks great man, did you go for a black or a white undercoat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Considering the amount of black in the Marine colour-scheme I was pretty suprised at that Land Speeder; you don't seem to have followed it at all..? It looks good though, that's not it, I'm just confuzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cardholder Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 That was just a random speeder I had around and painted it Imperial Fist style. I think this log will have a few random things like that just to break up the monotony of painting the same thing over and over. And MagicMan, I went with white because I didn't feel like going insane with layers. Though there's still about seven on that one. Unfortunately when I put a little ink over the yellow to tone it down, it ruined the whole thing and made it look blotchy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
