Zhoolda Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hello brothers! Well my Iron Hands army is done. Now I want to go pre heresy Emperor's Children. Ironic? So far Iv only painted a cataphractii terminator. He is still WiP and needs some wethering/chipping and the base isnt finished... This is my first time painting a different colour then black on marines. Its alot of work but worth it! My biggest problem is the lightning claws... They didnt turn out the way I thought they would at all. Maby I should try a different colour? Would love some feed back! http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/131/62ja.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Well, according to the classic color wheel, the best colors for your claws would be somewhere around yellow, orange, or green. Blue is too close and doesn't work visually. That being said, I think the claws look great! Would the Emperor's Children really have battle damage though? I feel like the fix their armor after every fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think instead of ditching for purity and perfection your searching for istvaan v ;) I'd love to have a EC wip team in the istvaan v massacre thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Love it, very menacing and very pretty :) The eye glow is a bit sad though. With so little space to work with, it kinda just comes across looking as a red smear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon Smith Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Nice work, beautiful clean highlights, fits the army perfectly! Looking forward to more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhoolda Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Great feed back! So glad I posted :) Ye the eyes arnt working...more glow? or just none at all?I think the blue claws would work better if I hadent painted the straps red... He has too much colour right now Well yea EC wouldnt have battle damage on their armour if they could help it. But if the army is on a long campaign on a xeno planet, (think that should be the theme) they should have some. Going to get some more done soon!

Vlemix Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 are you dead set on red eyes? I think green eyes look good on EC. how about just plain gun metal for the claw? too boring? either way lovely paint job, looking forward to seeing more of the same :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
