Candleshoes Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 With several of the Unforgiven being given robe colours in GW printing, namely the Black of the Angels of Vengeance and the Crimson of the Guardians of the Covenant, my question regards the half green, half bone Angels of Redemption. What colour of robes would best suit them? The automatic choice seems to be traditional bone, but does it really fit in against the bone of the halved armour? Would robes of crimson make a much better palette choice, against the heraldric half/half of bone and green? Maybe a muted black? A muddy/red brown? Any opinions, thoughts or bits of text that might shed some light or insightful opinio - In the process of painting a AoR and the robe colour choice is just unsettling at this point!

Grand Master Belial Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 My suggestions are brown, purple and red. I took the brown one since I have elements of all the Successors in my force.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I chose brown for mine: pic as reference: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250621-angels-of-redemption-robes/#findComment-3038082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Chaplain Lucifer's army is a very good demonstration that brown robes work and work well! Go brown. So are we to expect an AoR army from you Candleshoes? How's your 5th order coming along?

Wayward Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Maybe Ochre? http://cdn.dickblick.com/items/008/01/swatches/00801_YellowOchre-l.jpg Though those brown robes look really nice! And the have some kind of ochre on the highlights...

Candleshoes Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Some interesting ideas and excellent models in there. My building/converting is unfortunately far exceeding the my painting, and I am finding that extra time available for thinking is almost dangerous. I might turn some things around and choose to conform my models into a successor route ... we'll see how my test goes, I'll probably post it up and let some of you decide what is more visually appealing.

Candleshoes Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Played around for a little bit on the army painter for some potential options, which do think looks better: Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 I'll go with whatever seems to get more positive feedback, as these 4 stood out the most.

Captain Semper Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not the red. Black ok. Brown still best option. What's the difference between the first two options? Edit: oh I get it, the bolter casing... Steer away from red every chance you get! Brown robes & black casing all the way :D (well, you asked for personal taste... :teehee:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250621-angels-of-redemption-robes/#findComment-3038946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Ironheart Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Brown or Black....My two cents :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250621-angels-of-redemption-robes/#findComment-3038947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I would say go with Brown Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250621-angels-of-redemption-robes/#findComment-3038965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoc Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Can I suggest a darker shade of Red? Bright red doesn't quite look right, but I think I darker shade might work.

shabbadoo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I would go with black, for the old Chapter color tie-in. It also looks more somber than the others, which is suitable for he Unforgiven. And it is also easy to paint to look good. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250621-angels-of-redemption-robes/#findComment-3038986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 #2 means business #4 not too bad either :D stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250621-angels-of-redemption-robes/#findComment-3038993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I prefer #2. The brown looks right. However, I agree with MadDoc that a darker shade of red might look significantly better. Additionally, I prefer the black bolters, though I'm probably biased as that's what my AoA have.

Candleshoes Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 It looks like option 2 is the winner. I went out and picked up some new paints from the just released range, tonight and tomorrow to get my test model done and pics will be up on Sunday. Thanks for the help and direction!
