recon0321 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 May I ask how you would change the scheme Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276365-iron-defenders/#findComment-3385929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Personally, I'd go with darker, muted colors. Dark grey can be trim. Red pauldrons, knee. Dark grey five pointed star as the Chapter badge.

Conn Eremon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The same, if you want it to look like the Iron Patriot. But you should tone down the richness of the blue.

Conn Eremon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Red's good, though perhaps too far with the blue. Much better looking, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276365-iron-defenders/#findComment-3385993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I like the second one much better, lots of little bits of different colours as on the first one look odd on a Marine (and would be hell to paint!). That said, I agree that maybe you've gone a touch too dark on the blue and also the eyes could do with 'popping' a bit more?

Ecritter Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Both schemes work for me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276365-iron-defenders/#findComment-3386255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfeld Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I dunno, the whole theme is around the American Flag considering that is what the Patriot is clad in. So you should remain true to your concept and to the colours on that flag. In fact, you should probably get some white in there, make the blue a little brighter, (between the two you have now) and make sure you keep the red. Actually comparing the two I think your first incarnation is closer to the actual iron patriot.. so. Well all I can say is if you are basing your theme off a character you should make it stick as close as possible to that character. If you are just looking for a 'general' concept and want room for change and growth then I would say take the above advice in totality. I personally prefer more subdued colours (on my marines) so I can agree with the sentiment. I just think that if you want it to be bright and true to the inspiration then you ought to do it. Do you have any background ideas? PS: Really, when it comes down to being painted and on the table top I think your original colours would definitely be more striking. Raven.

War Angel Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 As for the color scheme, my vote is that the first is better than the second. There's enough dark and gritty armies out there. Space marines don't wear camo cause their space marines. That's me though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276365-iron-defenders/#findComment-3386489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
