Burias-Drak'shal Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Im currently painting a large number of DA, and am having trouble deciding how i should paint my power weapons through the army. My usual colour is blue for power weapons but with my DA being green of course & red, im not sure if having another primary colour will work! Once I work this out Ill be able to finish my terminator squads, as currently progress as stopped on those while i decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucAvieux Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 For me that's not a problem at all. I have green power armor, red robes and blue power weapons on some of my marines. I'll be uploading some pics later this day anyway so I'll upload a piccie of those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I also do blue power weapons. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads..._4130_51114.jpg http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...4130_326219.jpg Don't have any power armored shots to show you, but I think it's a nice break from their primary colors.

elmo Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 For what its worth - here is Sammi with power sword. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/Dark%20Angels/CIMG1794.jpg The effect is done using Enchanted blue / Ice Blue / dots of White on a black sword drybrushed in Codex grey. Sorry - not the best picture :) I will be doing the same thing on my incoming TH and LCs for my Deathwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 As many as I can get my hands on..... Sammy has a Sword of Secrets which is cut from the same block of obsidian that Azzys sword is cut from... I use boltgun with a blue wash and sometimes a chainmail or mithril drybrush... http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/Command1008.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/Command1001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucAvieux Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Now my green is fairly bright on these minis so it might not be the best exaple, but here they are anyway: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro X Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I do mine kinda the same way elmo does, granted I'm still learning how to do it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I use Company Veteran's method from his WIP thread from this years LPC (I'll edit in a linky). The best thing about it, is you can substitute his colours for your own preferance. He uses white/gray, I've gone for blue, but both reds and purples work. LINKY: Post 17 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...244573&st=0 So this is my run at Company Veteran's method Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysl Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I actually just do mine in Boltgun Metal (bulk buy before the new paints came out). All my close combat weapons are chainswords, so it's pretty easy to distinguish special close combat weapons from mundane ones in my army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 yeah, blue works just fine...I do have one model with a red power weapon. Looks fine as a one-off, but army-wide, I'd have doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
