aznviking Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 My Brother just moved in with me and we have decided to get back into 40k We wanted to start a DIY chapter where we each could create a company each. We are still playing around with schemes but wouldnt mind peoples thoughts on what we've come up with so far. http://i.imgur.com/r9d54Uw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3o8XzQR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/S151PM1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9dszTjs.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScionOfGrief Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The dark red/central white stripe scheme is cool as hell. I think you need one or two that aren't red though, otherwise you'll end up with two armies that look exactly the same from a distance, and that could get confusing when removing models in assaults etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/#findComment-3433480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznviking Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 We based the red with central white stripe off the danish flag. And we're just looking for one look and we both want to work on the chapter together. Something where id make the chapter's 2nd company and he'd make the 3rd. Maybe tweak each company look a bit (like the ultramarines shoulderguard rims, 1rst company: white, 2nd gold, etc.) so that we dont get our models too mixed up.

ScionOfGrief Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Ahhh, I got a little confused, I thought you were each going for a Company's worth of Marines from a different Chapter. The only thing with the Danish Flag Concept (henceforth the DFC) is that I can't see a whole lot you could change for each company and still have the scheme working. Maybe you could just use iconography, such as a company symbol or number on one shoulder or knee, with the squad marking or number on the opposite?

Ecritter Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I like the first, though I'd change color on the eagle and make the pipes on abdomen also, or number 3. For company marking you can go as simply as numbers on the shoulder or lower legs for different companies.

ScionOfGrief Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Red/White is one of those combinations that I always like, no matter how much it gets used. Ditto Red/Black.

daryl Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Definitely the 3rd scheme. Sharp, just changing up the trim should be pretty good at making them contrast enough. I used to play against a buddy and the only difference between our armies was the belt color. I went red and he went with black and that was pretty easy to keep track of.

Urauloth Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Third scheme. Helmet stripes always look good, and power armour suits red and white really well.

Lysimachus Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Third is a little complicated for me. Love the first one but Ecritter is right, needs pipes and eagle filled in, eyes could pop a bit more too...

ScionOfGrief Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 That would work better if you wanted to do Company colour markings. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/#findComment-3433734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznviking Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 looks like people are digging the 3rd scheme. It's also the one we like best. Strike Captain Lysimachus, on 24 Aug 2013 - 11:40, said:Third is a little complicated for me. Love the first one but Ecritter is right, needs pipes and eagle filled in, eyes could pop a bit more too...How about: But damn Lysimachus now I'm now in doubt cause this looks great as well.As for the concept of the chapter we were thinking of going non-codex and trying to come up with something fun. 7-8 Companys/Clans, each representing a planet in the sector from which they draw their recruits. This has led to rivalries and created competition between brothers on which company/clan has the greatest warriors and feats. Each company has a different areas of expertise. There is no scout company since each company is responsible for recruiting and training eligible candidates that later can be joined to squads in need of new brothers. The 1rst/veteren company is made up of one squad from each company/clan. Each squad is filled with the best warriors of each company and have different skill sets to represent the strength of their company's. When one of these squads loses a member trials will be held to see who is worthy to take the fallen warriors place. Even without a death, a member of the company can challenge a current member of a Elite squad for his spot. Winner takes all.

Ace Debonair Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Definitely scheme three. You could do company colours on the knees, like white for 2nd and blue or yellow or purple something for 3rd. On models with no kneepads (like mk6 armour) you could then just move the company colour to elbows or just paint the whole lower leg.

Sorry for the confusion Hahaha fair one, don't worry about it. I'm still a huuuge fan of Scheme 3. So, the Chapter concept is kinda based off a combination of Iron Hands (without the craziness) and Salamanders (minus "we're radioactive dragons")?

Ecritter Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 UM geneseed offers the easiest ability to change with no flaws to start. Oh and though I love scheme 3 most, it will be a pain to paint ... you may want to take that into considerations.

ScionOfGrief Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 That's something I hadn't considered... you'd probably have to mask off the stripe, or have a very steady hand.

aznviking Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 We were thinking IF, UM or RG depending on whatever fluff backstory and combat doctrines we decide on. (currently working on it, so might get posted later tonight.) As for painting the white line, yes it's a pain and is the only thing holding me back from choosing 3. Will have to test mini it at some point. But if its to much of a bother then we might just go with the revised scheme 1.

ScionOfGrief Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The Raven Guard geneseed is pretty messed up though... hence only 3 or 4 Successors (that I can think of).

Ecritter Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Have you ever tried to mask a model that small ... like I said, I love 3 but I'd go for 1.

Firepower Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The good thing about the white line in three is that the total surface you are painting is actually quite small on most models. The torso is largely covered by aquillas, pipes, and whatnot normally, with exception to the one nearly-bare torso. Of course that's in reference to the current kits. The colors of 4 have potential, but that arrangement is not so good. I'd move use either more blue or less. Right now it's at an unhappy middle ground. For instance, either make the legs and Chapter Icon blue as well, or reduce the blue to simply the hands and head (kind of like an inverted Crimson Fist with a touch of gold trim). You'll have issues with contrast if you choose a dark tone for both the red and blue, though. Number one is a solid paintjob, but you'll be painting a lot of white, which is never fun.

aznviking Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Painting alot of white is not too much off a problem as I have painted some marines with a quartered blue and white scheme before without too much trouble.I get the issues with 4 and think i would give it a test mini with your suggestions.As of now we are leaning towards 3, with the revised 1 as a fallback. We also found a possible chapter symbol. http://i.imgur.com/S3y3Ww9.jpg We like the look but it could be a pain to paint. This, like the white stripe, will have to be tested to see if its too hard or too time consuming. http://i.imgur.com/eyQONjC.jpg What do you guys think ?
