St. Celestine

[Runepriest2007]

I've painted the armor on Celestine VGC Brassy Brass, and am looking for a good contrast color for the halo.

 

The colors on Celestine are: armor - VGC Brassy Brass; tabard - VGC Hexed Lichen; cloak and robes - VGC Bloody Red.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What about white, or silver? Have you got a picture of your Celestine, that might make it easier to make suggestions ;)

Sorry for the delay.........life stepped in ;)

 

Thanks for the reply, and suggestion, WarriorFish.

 

This is what she currently looks like (with the crappy pic, and lighting):

Don't worry about that, all of us have boring life things like work and such getting in the way of precious 40k time :)

 

After seeing your picture I'm going with silver. I've always found that brass/bronze and silver go well together. If you were to use white it'd look best on the aquila details I think.

 

I recommend whatever shade is the replacement for Devlan Mud (I think it's called "Argrax Earthshade"?) for your brass. I always give my metallics a wash of something to help take the "shine" off a bit as well as give the model some quick shading ;)
