Lord Morgrim Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just been playing around in the painter and came up with this I am going to call them the Fire of Tzeentch......what do you think?...maybe the Flames of Tzeentch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatEscape_13 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Good start, as long as the main color is grey rather than metallic. If it were metallic, I think it would be quite ugly. A lot will depend on the accent colors--the bolter casing (black would look best, I would say) and the base coloration. Giving a good green base, or a blue-to-white winter base would look very nifty and give the model more contrast without having to change the scheme. Best.

*Furyou Miko Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Silver on Grey tends to blend into each other and not look too great in 28mm (although it's outright dazzling at 1/1 scale). You might want to consider using a bluer grey for the armour - Fenris, I think the new version is called, would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'd throw some of that orange onto the upper legs to break up that mass of silver/grey that's occupying him from the neck on down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Grey and Orange is great! Depending on how you assemble your guys, their accessories at the belt or on their legs can be made to give contrast to the grey parts. Also, take time to think about your basing. Those grey boots will disappear into urban rubble/wreckage if you aren't careful. Looking forward to seeing some pics of completed models :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Morgrim Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys here is another possibility. The grey will be more of a bolt gun metal colour for trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Whoo hoo orange marines! Orange is best color. I have black and orange marines and get asked if I'm playing the Pyre all the time. All. The. Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I like the second option far better, personally. Orange washed with a reddish brown might look somewhat muddy/weathered by itself. That could be handy depending on exactly how much detail you like to put into a model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Morgrim Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Here is my Lord ...first one painted up...still need to finish him with a few more washes and tidying up http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss127/Keithandor/Warmachine/d1d57581.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatEscape_13 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Looks really good, man. I'm glad you went for more orange. I still prefer grey tones over bright metallics, but overall it's a strong theme--and you won't see many other Orange armies, so yours will always stand out! Keep the pics coming as you finish more models! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Very nice color scheme, we don't see enough orange out there and you pulled it off well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Nice Orange, but I'm almost going to mistake this group as the Pyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoros Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yeah, that does look pretty close to what The Pyre has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrog Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 That was the main fear that prevented me from painting my CSMs orange, was afraid they would be mistaken for the Pyre. But that's like saying all red armies look like World Eaters, or all green armies look like Dark Angels. Some Tzeentchy symbols will help differentiate them. And if you want to reincorporate some of that silver/grey color, I think silver hot rod flames would look good on your vehicles. The lord came out nice!
