Ordo Machinum Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The working title for my DIY successor chapter is The Archangels. I'm trying to decide on a paint scheme and would appreciate your opinions. I would like to keep gold as the base color, not sure if its overused among chapters. The aquila is silver. I've tried mixing red in the armor and robes and it startes looking like Iron Man meets Christmas: Maybe if I was going to call them The Avengers it would be okay. Using silver as a base is too Guardian of the Covenant. I figured gold, even with green robes, is a different stand-out enough color for a DA successor. Please, let me know what you think?

Messor Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I really like the pure gold scheme. The red is kinda appealing, too, but it might a little over applied. If kept to trim instead of used on the whole torso, it could be a nice sort of highlight.

The Wolfmeister Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I think for a DA successor a darker bronze armor would suit their character better than bright gold. I'm thinking dark bronze with bone aquilas and black robes and maybe some DA green for some of the details would look pretty sweet. Just an opinion of course.

Ordo Machinum Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks guys! Okay, tweaking the scheme slightly... This one is a little darker than I was looking for, but it is nice. I'll await some more comments before digging out a test model.

Wulfebane Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I like the new one.. I liked the old ones too, but this feels more "DA". And despite all claims, the colors can't match real paint. I'm pretty sure it'll be much brighter than that, atleast on highlight areas where light catches, since acrylic paint has a a sheen to it, with metallics even more so. My concern would be them coming out looking too similar to Minotaurs, but I guess accessories, iconography and spot colors will help with that.
