-Leman Russ- Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hey everyone, some of you might already know, I am creating a 13th Co. army, and I am modeling my average solider from the Chaos Warriors set. So they all have capes..... I want your opinion on which color scheme looks best! Just bare in mind the front of the models will be grayish (13th Co. colors) with random parts painted Chaos. - Some things to know before you look: The one white/bonewhite cape with black specs was slightly damaged, my gloves had black primer on them and smudged onto the cape, so try and imagine the cape without it! - The black cape was too heavily high lighted, will definitely tone it down if it is my main scheme http://i43.tinypic.com/2ed1kt1.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/md14lx.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/33tgn4n.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/5xo4ye.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2wfrbzo.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2mdffjs.jpg As always thanks for looking and commenting, criticism always wanted.

MaveriK Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 its hard to tell.... the pictures are small and to be honest, an actual model of a 13th company would help. When someone says I'm painting my marines grey. Well, there are different types of greys out there and well, depending on the shade of grey you use will help determine which cape would work better and compliment each other... but that's just my two cents.

Griz Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yeah second that - pictures are quite small to actually give some just advice and/or opinions - if you could resize the photo's or provide some links it would definitely help.

-Leman Russ- Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Alright, sorry about that. I usually use photobucket but for some reason it won't upload anything... So I used Flickr and it makes pictures very tiny.... Using imageshack, I should have the bigger pics soon.

spacewolflars Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I am somewhere in the middle of the first and second. The dark fur on the first is awesome with the cape being a little darker than the first, closer to the color of the second.

LoneWulfen Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I, being young , can see the pictures. I would go for the redish brown, pic 4. Or a bone coloured cape and a reddish fur. Oh and post pics of the finished product!

I am also young, however giving a true critique needs a proper basis to draw from I can't give a full opinion on something that size However, if I were I'd choose 3rd going down from the top Griz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241608-i-want-your-opinion-color-scheme/#findComment-2920589 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kami Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 i would also take the reddish brown, if i have to choose one. but why not take all, thinking of how the wolves had different pelt colours in prospero burns?

Schertenleib Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Like the reddish brown, myself. The one on the top is not bad either. A thought might be to use different cloaks for different ranks.

Buliwyf Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm doing the same conversions myself! I chose the Terracotta (the Reddish Brown) for the cape and I painted the fur black and grey. My marines are Codex Grey, and it helps the brass that I selected really pop (along with any of touches of bright color - like red or blue). I'd say definitely go for the Red-Brown and combine that with something like black or white fur (like on some of the other examples). The lighter red color blends in too much with the cape and you lose both elements. I really like what you did with the last one (the black cape with the white fur. That gold skull is a great idea), so maybe you could try the Red-Brown fur with the black cape.

Gyson_Vore Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I like the one on the far right, the black one. It looks more... dark, to match with the 13th company's history Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241608-i-want-your-opinion-color-scheme/#findComment-2921460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Leman Russ- Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 As promised, and hopefully wanted... Here is a painted body. I left off the arms/heads/backpack because im still considering what parts I want to use... Hopefully i'll have this guy finished completely by tomorrow - The skull near his neck and the amulet didn't come out quite as well as i'd hope http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x385/behyadehto/IMG_0852.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x385/behyadehto/IMG_0853.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x385/behyadehto/IMG_0854.jpg Also! Here is another pelt color, tell me what you think, thanks!

Quillen Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ok you asked so here it is. This has been done and better. Chaos guys do not make great Space Wolves. The leather boots and belt with buckle is not all that inspiring. So make some Chaos guys for WarHammer. it would look better. =) The cloak looks awesome thou. =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241608-i-want-your-opinion-color-scheme/#findComment-2924208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Leman Russ- Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hmmmm... I was actually considering cutting the toros in half and put the top half on SW legs... still unsure, other then the belt I think they can blend in really well.

-Leman Russ- Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Here is my first attempt at making a more "Space Marine" conversion. I sanded a bit too much on the belt area and the tabard came out so well until the end and my damned hand slipped and i made it crease at the mid section! It's getting a bit late now and my eyes can't seem to focus, so tomorrow I will paint him up and try another conversion and get the GS right and the mold lines, till tomorrow! http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x385/behyadehto/IMG_0860.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241608-i-want-your-opinion-color-scheme/#findComment-2924252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Honestly..... You need to work on your green stuff skills, but that will come in time. The Space marine legs look better, but the tabard on the front makes him looked knocked kneed. My first impression was a Space Wolf that can't find a handy tree. "Please Sgt. I need a potty break!"
