itasiah Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hi guys, here comes my new project: I've bought from a dude a Sw force but It was sunken in skull white and with no details left.So I had to scrath every single piece of plastic ;) and repositionate most of all.Now it's time for a bit o painting but I'm not sure about the colour scheme, so i beg for help. This is a test model, closeup of helmet http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...315_1074995.jpg and fullbody http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...7315_227952.jpg is missing all the details work, battle damage/weathering etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's not your traditional SW livery, but I like it - it's a lot more subtle than people might expect and the off-white/grey is very neatly done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorbike Mike Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Not a bad colour scheme. Throw in some burnt reds and a dark gold/brass detail and I think It'll look really good. Keep the metal dark too, so it doesn't look too similar to the tone of your grey. Couple of black washes over whatever the hell the new Boltgun Metal is called will do the trick. Keep up the good work! Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itasiah Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 ok, thanks guys, It helps. but if I'didn't tell you what chapter it belonged to, can you ever tell was a sw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Not at the moment, no, but well painted is well painted regardless; there aren't any pelts, pack markings or the like yet which visually separate SW Marines from normal Marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itasiah Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 OK, this is my problem, I wasn't sure about the effectiveness of livery itself, so maybe could be better to turn to something more grey? mind this: the rest of sw I'm working on are more characterized with pelts, teeths etc and only the test model is "neutral". I don't want to be mistaken for a Chaos player with these sw. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 You can't tell it is a Space Wolves because essentially, it is just a Marine painted grey. There are thousands of official and unofficial paint schemes out there. Many people use bits and pieces of Blood Angels or Space Wolves for their own Marines, even if they are a different chapter. No one can tell which chapter a Marine belongs to whith only the armor parts of the body painted. You don't even need all the pelts and stuff. The important things are shoulder pads and the chapter markings on them and without them we can't tell what chapter this Marine is from. I like the scheme and the paintjob and it can definitely work for Space Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bane of Angels Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Very nice stuff, very characterful conversions. The very light grey is a lot like the original Rogue Trader SW grey to be honest and I don't think that it looks out of place at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pall Ironbear Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 ok, thanks guys, It helps. but if I'didn't tell you what chapter it belonged to, can you ever tell was a sw? Yeah, just needs a yellow stripe running front to back on the helm and you have... Very nice stuff, very characterful conversions. The very light grey is a lot like the original Rogue Trader SW grey to be honest and I don't think that it looks out of place at all. ...a full on RT era SW livery. I like it so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
