Brother Tancred Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi fellow blood angels, I considering painting my Mephiston model soon but can't decided if I like the GW colour scheme. I was wondering if anyone else has painted his armour in the traditional colour of blue? Cheers, Brother Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 On my Mephiston, the only parts I painted "Librarian blue" were his shoulder pad and his psychic hood. I actually did his armour gold to reflect that fact that he wears Artificier Armour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I paint all my librarians red and will do the same with Mephiston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Heretic Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The Mephiston model is horrible, so I couldn't dream of painting one :tu: Should I one day convert one, I wouldn't go with a blue scheme - generally I find the whole 'colourcoded for your convenience' -thing too silly ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Horrible? Cortez was horrible. Mephiston is merely an old sculpt, same as Dante and Corbulo. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chris Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Absolutely. The mephiston figure was one of the things that first attracted me to the Blood Angels. Most of the other librarians are horrible, and painting them bright blue only makes them more so. We have a long-haired dracula wannabe with a crazy collar, cool sword and flayed armour. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to like? Yes! Mephiston has always been my favourite model. I remember once seeing a battle report picture with him single handly taking on a Carnifex (an old school hug-a-fex) and my mind went wild with excitment. It drove me to find out more about the Blood Angels and him as a character. After reading the Codex title (Angels of Death) and Mephiston titles (Lord of Death), I had to start not only a Blood Angels army but the hobby it self. As for colour I kept his armour red and changed the colour of his cloth to give him a dark and moody feel. http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Blood%20Angels/Mephistonandtheboyz.jpg I know I repost this one alot.....

What's not to like? For me, it was actually Brother Corbulo; I liked the idea of a militant healer guy. When I saw Mephiston, though, the deal was sealed: Blood Angels all the way! As for the thread's actual intent, I'm not sure how good Mephiston would look in blue. Maybe blue armor with all his decor in red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israfel Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have always loved the Mephiston model, there is something threatening about his posture (and the huge sword). He seems static but has an aura that says "You have just messed with the wrong guy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poukis Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hey, I've painted my Mephiston red with blue details (the "muscle" parts are red, but other than that the armour's blue) and if I remember correctly -it's been a while- I liked him :P I'll post a picture when I get home on Monday or Tuesday.
