solo21 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I am building up my Wolves and also want to start painting up a Tyranid horde. Any recommendations on colour schemes that work well against the grey of our pups?

Erasmus of Baal Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 What do you mean by "against"? Are you looking to theme the two together visually (indicating both as your armies) or make the two as distinct as possible (making them visually clash to indicate their rivalry)?

solo21 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Aha good point - I want visually different to indicate foes. I'm going to build up 2 armies that I can use for 'in house' battle so I want them looking nice on the table against each other.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It depends on what color you painted your wolves. If they are grey (like actually grey), anything contrasts grey. I suggest bright colors. If your wolves are painted light blue, like in the codex, I suggest orange. But all orange would be blah. It wouldnt be bad as part of a pattern color.

infyrana Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Not the best of help I'm afraid, but if you have a copy of DoW 2 Retri, you could use the Army Painter option there to paint your own Space Wolf scheme (or use the standard one), as well as the tyranid scheme. You could then make a few print screen shots and have a quick and dirty way of comparing colour contrasts that way.

Rums Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 i would say stark contrast would be good, i'm doing the same thing at the moment (painting up my wolves and building a hive fleet). what i have for my space wolves is gray, black, and dark red with some gold, and what im doing with my tyranids is painting them with vibrant colors of all sorts with a pandoran theme from the movie avatar. but it would be cool to see two armies and a game board that all matched, like ice nids and space wolves on a winter themed game board Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270646-wolves-versus-tyranidsbut-what-colour/#findComment-3297567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
