march10k Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The red is...well, it looks more like a sports uniform than a military one. I like both of the first two, though...preferably with very dark gray instead of black, though. I would do the second one...

Idlem Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Do you like painting? The black and grey would be a bit boring to paint by itself, though it would make a good looking army. I like 3 and 1 the best. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3661183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like the first 2 the best. I have considered using black and gray for my own IG in the past.

hendrik Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 My vote goes to the first one Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3661241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCommanderSamirus Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like the first one... but i'm biased its the same as my scheme on my cadians RADU LYKAN 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3661254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I too vote for the first one. Add some darker grey slashes on the grey cloth and it would look like the old Arcadian 6th. In fact, developing the grey into a tigerstripe-like camo would be cool...and exceedingly time consuming! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3661256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I did black armour on deep red fatigues for my guard. In their background they were raised on a forge world. I think they turned out really well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3661283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like number one but I would imagine it would be a bit of a chore to paint. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3661309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Welcome to the Guard! You need to think long and hard about your colour scheme, aside from being something you should do anyway you'll be painting a lot of Guardsmen in it. So aside from an appearance you want it needs to be the right level of complexity for you too. I have a camouflage scheme that is quite time consuming but that's acceptable to me as I've already painted enough models to game with for example. I prefer the first two, plus they could easily be enhanced with a camouflage scheme if you wanted.

scatmandoo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like no2 and you could always add colour for specialists if you want to add variety Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3661437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Number 4 for me, like the splash of colour. Number 2 does run it close though but might be a little dull to paint. You could perk 2 up by adding geometric shapes in shades running from black to light grey to the armour plates to break the shape up.

Chapter Master Furious Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 thank you all for the feedback! I just bought some shock troops and a company command. so i got 15 models to try out my new paint scheme I do enjoy painting a lot. so if i spend more time per model that fine by me B) so I will end up going with number 2 scheme, i Can really imagine the light grey with the darker grey. they will suit my Black Templars ( and my tiny force of Grey Knights) very well. As well my knight Titan has grey within its colour scheme, so it ill also nice compliment that as well. but the only thing that i feel bad for is that i LOVE painting red ( surprisingly enough i have 15 30k Blood angels painted up lol). but I'm just not feeling red as a predominant colour on my Astra Militarum force. and once again thank you all for your feedback! its been very helpfull. and you will for sure see some W.I.P coming up!

WarriorFish Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Good to hear! I hope to see your progress very soon :) Have you thought about red berets? ;) Chapter Master Furious 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3662962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'd vote against No1, but I'm biased because I use that exact scheme myself. But honestly: The 4th one is cool. I'd assume it's camouflage for Volcano worlds. But this raises the next question: What about the vehicles?* *If you happen to be planning an Infantry Company, disregard this sentence.

The Yak Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Looks excellent. Really crisp painting. Hope to see a full platoon of these soon. What colour markings or numbers are you going to add to the shoulders? I reckon a spot of red on the model would look cool. Maybe even a couple of thin red stripes on his lasgun? Your then sort of incorporating a bit of all four of your suggested colour schemes. Anyway excellent start Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3664872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Furious Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 @WarriorFish thanks for the comments :) got the first platoon done, now just the Company command @Andhil thanks for the comment :) @The Yak Red is definitely going to be incorporated within my colour scheme on ranks and head dress. but i like the idea with the lasguns Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/#findComment-3664914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
