TheGreatChonricler Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have the idea of a chapter to field but i do not know. What the colours should be any good ideas would help and to help you with the colour scheme i have. Doved them the "Emperor`s Storm". An non-Compliant Adeptus Astartes chapter roughly 13 companies, they favor close quaters firefights or blitzkreig tactics over all. For each battle ready company is a Emperor`s champion. the back bone of the chapter`s strength is A squad type know as Torrents Skilled in fast moving action and urban combat to trench warfare. Finally the first company is composed of Artificer terminator armor skillfuly crafted by the forge masters. Each stooped in chapter icongraphy and battle honors of predecessors and their own.

fivepointedstar Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 just google "storm pictures" and see how many simular colors come together. like purpleish- greys, or light greenish blues. maybe those would work.

TheGreatChonricler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks for your help. I didn`t think i would find any thing good but i did and its kinda a dark wolves pattern sadly. I wished for a bit more originality but hey i probably will acutally develop fluff for them to make it more unique isk. "For the Emperor, For humanity Death to heretics."

TheGreatChonricler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 So far looking good thanks for the replies looking good. I like deathknight`s idea pretty well i tried to find a good grayish green or purple but these ideas are great for Ecritter i was thinking a sliver armour trim.

Conn Eremon Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You could always try and find other themes from which you can find a color source, to augment the storm-related themes. For instance, I have a Chapter called the Storm Bearers, that place a slightly heightened value on the Chapter Armory and Librarium. So the three colors I went with in painting the so far only one model was a Mechanicum red shoulder-pad, Librarian blue body, while having the trim and assorted iconography be differing shades of gray. The reds and blues aren't exactly the same shades as the Techmarine red or Librarian blue, but the two colors were chosen for the heightened importance the two auxiliary functions have to the over-all Chapter. Eventually, I'd like to try my hand at some of the lightning iconography the Night Lords are known for, though if I do their presence will be kept small. That's something you could try as well. If a storm is the sole theme to base the color off of, you could also go the Night Lords route. The blues and whites will be evident in the lightning bolts across the armor of the Marine, with the actual colors being a mixture of dark greys, that sort of thing. Each Marine will be a storm cloud in both appearance and demeanor. Or you can try for some other themes to mix it up a bit.

TheGreatChonricler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks that is the best i`ve read so far i will look at this more. But the problem is since they`re a fast attack,urban warfare,trench warfare and such i am probably going to go more a drab blue or gray to help with a camouflaging effect. To it but so far i will take this into consideration. i have the chapters main icon a metallic sliver could with a lighting bolt striking out. "For the Emperor, For humanity Death to heretics."

Necris Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Why no combine the two drab grey and dark blue, you could then use Night Lord esk lightning bolts on the dark blue and have bright lightning coloured chapter badge and company symbols something like this as the base for you to then add much lighter lightning effects too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256811-colour-scheme/#findComment-3125912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 For urban combat, especially in Hives, dark and light shades of grey/blue are definitely a good idea. Though if it's camouflage, I'd stay away from the rather colorful displays already posted, and go with more towards muted colors. And besides, the lightning/storm motif doesn't have to be thoroughly intertwined with the color scheme. You said it'd be fast attack, with a storm motif that kind of sounds like jump-pack Marines landing with all the force and crack of a thunderbolt. Whatever the color scheme, that alone is a good stormy image. You could always go with what you would like to see on a regular basis, and what you are most comfortable painting, and keep the storm-related themes in other arenas.

Ace Debonair Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 *Puts on Heraldry Dept. Hat* Think lightning flashing across a dark sky. I can do that! EDIT: He's picked his colours, so I don't need to keep these here. Leave the Liber as you would wish to find it, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256811-colour-scheme/#findComment-3125920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Claw Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Depending on which tack you wanted to take the light grey portions could either be silver to replicate the argent glow of the lightning strike or a light grey to compliment your urban camo scheme.

TheGreatChonricler Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah i see i like yours best i would go with the sliver colour. to make sure the theme is across and prominent the light blue helps the idea of lighting so kinda of a blitzkrieg tactics.
