jezabel Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I've just finished building Captain Castigon, Captain of the fourth company. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff178/lifeinminiature/DSC09515.jpg I know that traditionally (in the past) Captains are gold, but I have been wondering if he would look better in a deep red. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanfear Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 i would paint him bronze... this way you can use him as a statue/Mission objective and have him on the field most of the games. other than that, i tend to gold :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Besides Tycho I believe it is common for Captains to wear red armour. I painted my Captain red indeed but for this one both could go :lol: Why not a combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Uriah Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Why not do the "solid" parts in gold, and the "muscle" parts in red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gv0zD Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 In general, I'd say paint a captain red unless he has artificer armor (well, in other words, unless he is Tycho). But in case of this particular model, I'd say bronze is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 astros model looks fairly good in Gold like. heres a pic of mine to give you an idea... http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/generalhazard_album/P5030012.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 White. If you want tradition, go for white. Blood Angels captains wear white. Space Crusade FTW. I will paint my three captains all white.. Only problem is, I never painted white armor before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 What a cool model.. I'm also gonna be working on a 4th company captin soon but I'm going in a different direction with mine as I'll be using seth's rules for him. I think he'll look good gold but all of my captins have will have a dark red armour rather like astrogoth or meph! Ps.. What powerclaws did you use?

appiah4 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The claws look like metal claws from the 3rd Edition assault terminators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchyman99 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I bucked the system and wanted to only used Gold for Dante, The Sanguinor, and Honor Guard and Sanguinary Guard. My Tycho is red to make him more of a man of the Infantry and less of an icon....a normal marine....not some god....even he falls to the black rage. http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/1016/img0228of.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Never considered Tycho with a red armour but looks freaking amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Sky Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Red with gold trimmings, every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Red with gold trimmings, every time. I don't like quoting directly unerneath, but yeah! What he said! I think gold captains with wings have a tendency to look like Sang Gaurd nowaday's, so the red/gold trim actually makes them stand out. Also you have the makings of a great mini there, I just think the pose just lacks 'something' as he looks like he is about to shake hands. Maybe lower the right hand and turn both palms so they are facing the camera, the arms slightly back so he looks menacing while jumping. EDIT that doesn't make sence does it!!! Pictures speak louder than word I mean like this:- My take on Captain Machiavi (sorry wasn't a plug) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
