Ammonius Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 A Plague Marine :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248737-4-color-competition/#findComment-3011987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazzola Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 A standard Tactical Marine. The helmet knocks out any need for flesh which gives me white and three other colours for the armour and weapons. From there, with my painting skill, the result will likely be something akin to a chaos spawn :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248737-4-color-competition/#findComment-3012195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 black, white, mithril silver, red.. iron hands. black + white = every shade of grey necessary. water + black = black wash mith silver + black = every shade of metal necessary red for spot colour.. mix with black and white for variations.

onipunk Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Decide on your scheme beforehand and see if it can be accomplished by using a coloured undercoat like the ones from Army Painter. Hey, it technically is an undercoat... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248737-4-color-competition/#findComment-3012648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm a bit bias, playing Black Legion, but I'd do something like... Black, Silver, Gold, and Brown Wash, on a Chaos Marine miniature. Gold and Silver trim + details cleaned up with the Black. Then wash the Gold with the Brown Wash. Then mix a ton of the Brown Wash with a some Black to change it to a Black Wash, and wash the Silver with it. Clean up with Black again, and you'll have a really nice (if simple) looking Marine. Another take would be something like; Black, Silver, Red/Blue/Green, and Black Wash on any Marine miniature. Again, used Red/Blue/Green and Silver to do details and base parts. Clean up with Black. Black Wash to add depth. Add some highlights with Silver and Red/Blue/Green. Clean up with Black.

Black Mage 257 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Black, Purple, Silver, Red. Not long after I first started the hobby, when I was 11-ish, I started to play Dark Eldar, these were the only 4 colours I used to paint my Dark Eldar and I remember how proud I was at the time because they were some of the better models I'd done myself :lol: I'd love to recapture that magic, if not I'd probably go for Black, Red, Silver, Brown and paint one of my Word Bearers.

ZAChos Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I would: Blood red Sunburst yellow Enchanted blue Dheneb stone Using these you can make most colours. I would take dheneb stone over skull white because it makes it less cartoony.

Warbringer Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Depends on what you want to paint you could be really clever and use the combinations on this great blog post. http://nesbetminiatures.blogspot.com/2011/...el-colours.html If only it was 5 colours!

Xenith Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Dheneb stone, green wash, devlan mud, flesh wash. Washes over dheneb are amazing. I reckon you could get an awesome plague marine and get Kudos for only using a single paint.
