Lord Tarkin Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Btw, how do you put together these schemes? Is it an app? http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/smp.php:) Thank you much!! Check out this thread: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273790-the-bc-painters/ It'll have the aforementioned painter, plus some others. Nice, I like the Chaos Marine painter. I was wondering if they had one. Thanks!

Lysimachus Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Really liking the Fire Hawks inspired one, the helm looks great, almost like an american footballer's, gives off a stubborn and pugnacious feel.

GrandMagnus Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Champion Zoran the link is damaged, try sending it again please Or uploading the picture. SC Lysimachus I dont know much about american football but it looks intimidating. I was looking at the IH immortals and I couldnt help but think that these colour schemes, especially the halved one, would look great on that armour. EDIT: I tried metallic trim on the original 2nd scheme, thoughts? I think it might work if done right.

Ultramarine vet Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Metallic shoulder trim is indeed a good idea. Absolutely. I also like the eye color. It really stands out. I really see nothing wrong with the halved color scheme. I give it a thumbs up. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293307-need-thoughts-on-a-colour-scheme/page/2/#findComment-3736615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Ive prepared a test mini to try the halved scheme. Does any of you know a good tutorial for painting black armour?

Ultramarine vet Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Best I can say is, to go on Youtube and look up a tutorial on an army like Raven Guard or Iron Hands, who have black armor. It would pretty much be the same concept. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293307-need-thoughts-on-a-colour-scheme/page/2/#findComment-3736638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandMagnus Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hmm, I haven't been on B&C for a while. How's the best way of getting a pic on here? You copy the URL of the imagen, then click on "Image" in the B&C task-bar (where the smilies and stuff like that are) then you just paste the URL there and it should be up.

Lord Tarkin Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I like this one but I'm not sure which yellow you used. Just another idea.

GrandMagnus Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Well, I will have to say straight forward that Im not huge fan of such an amount of mix in the colour. I prefer the traditional halved or full colours. BTW, Ive been thinking about what chapter badge to use, I was thinking perhabs a fist (like the IF icon) in black, although that would look too much like the IF, or in white/bone. Any other ideas for the chapter badge, other icons? And Im working on this from the heresy-online forum* to work out the fluff, I will give post my ideas when I have looked into it. * http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=83190 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293307-need-thoughts-on-a-colour-scheme/page/2/#findComment-3736939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Cato Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 It's a tad difficult to create a chapter symbol without any background information. It is possible, but it doesn't always link up too well. Colour wise, I think a bone coloured icon would be a nice touch. Or a blue would work rather nicely with the yellow aswell, ofcourse assuming you're going with a yellow shoulder pad to bear the chapter symbol.

Lord Tarkin Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Ah, ok. Well I'll stick to the one with the black face-guard and the black stripe down the forehead, along with the black shoulders. Very catchy scheme added with the brilliant colors, especially as Ultramarine Vet said about the lenses. But it is your scheme so dont mind me. As for your icon, if you wanna use the IF icon you could very well say your chapter is a successor to them. I could see the icon being the same colour as the lenses, that would be BA. But if your chapter takes more to range than CC then you could draw a fist clutching a few arrows, displaying their love for range. Or if its CC they admire, draw a bears paw, resembling the brutal ferocity they tend to display in battle. Stuff like that, give your chapter a strength, a profession. Example: I'm collecting a SM chapter and I painted them an awesome kind of camo because they cling to jungle warfare. The icon is probably going to be a jaguar or something like that.

GrandMagnus Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Arctic Im still working on the fluff so I will be looking into what chapter badge. Zoran Im currently test painting, first the halved scheme and then the one with the black stripe to see what looks best.
