oligrocott357 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hey all, Me and a couple of friends have decided to start a tale of four gamers style game. I've decided to do a Blood Angels army but wanted to make my own successor chapter. Below is the colour scheme I am planning on using...it doesn;t look too Blood Angels like I know but it will have Blood Angels elements added to it like Helmet colours designating units and so on. I have decided to call them the Knights of the Chalice, all based around Corbulo's Chalice that contains Sanguinius' blood, making it a more loyal chapter because of fighting for their lost Primarch. I shall update this soon with my first models and possibly lists to see what people think.

Castiel Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I like this very much! Looks like a great colour scheme, can't wait to see the minatures! :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234412-my-tale-of-four-gamers-army-from-start-to-finish/#findComment-2822028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oligrocott357 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks :) I don#t know whether for my tactical marines to have red heads or not...what do people think?

sp4rky Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I think half/half heads will look brilliant. Not sure where you could sneak the tactical/assault/devastator colours in though, maybe a knee pad or arm something?

Midnightmare Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Is the grey going to be metallic? Would look great against the blue. What is the chapter symbol going to be? Some sort of 'red' grail motif would be very BA, with red details like blood drop gems and maybe red eyes? As for helmet colour don't forget Devs have blue anyway so may be difficult to use. Good luck witht the army :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234412-my-tale-of-four-gamers-army-from-start-to-finish/#findComment-2827471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oligrocott357 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Maybe something like one of these? And I was thinking more a Codex grey or something similar maybe, I'll see when I do my tester.

AustonT Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I think perhaps you could do solid color helmets. Like Storm Lords or the ultrasmurf SGTs. Save you having to halve the helmet too. I think it would look good.

Grimtooth Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If you do any red on the helmets you can FOTM jump from BA to SW to UM whenever you feel like. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234412-my-tale-of-four-gamers-army-from-start-to-finish/#findComment-2828713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I really like the color scheme a lot as well as the Chapter name. Very cool indeed.

oligrocott357 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hey all, An update on the painting. Just wondering what you all thought of the body I've done and if red would go with this for the helmets? Thanks :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234412-my-tale-of-four-gamers-army-from-start-to-finish/#findComment-2829874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp4rky Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wow, that's a nice looking body you have there :cuss What kind of red were you thinking of? A bright "look at me, I'm over here!" red, or a darker and more subtle red?

Brightguy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Nice. I like that the colors are distinct, but not clashing. My opinion is that a red goreish shade on the helmets could be nice.

oligrocott357 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Why thankyou :P I'm not sure to be honest I think a bright red may look a little too out there...but then again Blood Angels are usually quite out there with Bright Red armour... What do you reckon? And thanks Brightguy...I think that would work, I'm going to have to do a tester I think to see how it looks.

Brother Nathan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 looks great! saying as your painting your helm seperate anyway, and everyone always has spare helms is paint a few up in the different ways you posted and see what works best for you both skill and looks wise. but as i said lovely start...
