Grotsmasha Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 So, this is where I'm up to with my Dec PtR vow, they still need bits and bobs, tidy up and highlighting, what I need to know is which colour I should go for on the chest eagles, as I see it, there's four choices, 1- Shiny Silver, 2- White, 3- Black, 4- Red. As there is no official image showing the colour for GotC chest eagles, which do you guys think will work best? Silver will be the easiest by far, black and white will be about the same amount of effort, and red, I just don't really see red "working" Hit me with suggestions and opinions, cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Arkley Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I would say Red. But then I like red :cuss Bone might work too... Actually go with bone :)... facmanpob's Excellent GotC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagon Sun Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Or how about a bronze/gold? Works for Astral Claws and it'll give you a nice contrast colour that ties in for ornamentation. Edit: Just realised that's what facmanpob has done and I think it really works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagon Sun Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Also, I'd have another look through Yellow Stripe's excellent thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I like red and bone. Red for Sergeants, Masters etc etc. Bone for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Thanks for the big-up there Arkley and Hexagon. :lol: @Grotsmasha - Nice to see another Brother guarding an unknown Covenant ;) As you've gone for the red stripe on the shoulder pad I'd go for red on the aquila. Alternatively, the bone is good too, but I would steer clear of the white, silver or black. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Grotsmasha, I'd just like to echo Brothers Arkley and facmanpob, along with Master Isiah's suggestion of red on Sergeants and up and bone on everyone else. Very nice looking figures so far! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Cheers for all of the replies guys, it looks like Isiah's suggestion of Bone and Red is most popular so far. How do you all feel about a dark, dirty gold? After 10-12 pages of search results (here and in WIP), out of 10-15 GotC armies there were only 3 that weren't Gold.

Cerroneth Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I did mine in two layers of dwarf bronze/hashut copper, with a sepia wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jono I feel very good about dark dirty gold! When I was painting GoC that is what I did for my chest eagles. From the point you model is at I simply did one wash of devlan mud and 2 or 3 of sepia. Gives a nice deep gold colour. Not too shiny and bright.
