IX Legion Information and Rumours

[Jolemai]

*crimson and white* 

[Spagunk]

That is indeed on the orange side of red. Interesting.

[Xenith]

Interesting indeed. Blood Angels oragne/Terracotta?

 

I'm also intrigued by the basing. The latest models in FW images all seem to have this red, martian like basing: The emperors children with spears, the death guard with scythes, now the night lords with glaives and this dread. I believe that this is not someones army, but a studio model, and a strong indicator of the non metallic direction theyre going with them.

I've asked for the recipe on the FW FB page so we'll see what happens there.

1 part mephiston red to 1 part blood of the martyrs.

 

I wonder if they used those new tints. I'm looking at trying them out, see if I can make a really vibrant red base from them, maybe even add a little yellow to make it more orangey.

[Arkangilos]

They've done other BA models on the FW website that are the deeper red. I personally hope they don't go orange.

I'm aware of that, but this is the most recent offering and the first vehicle offering outside of the artwork. If you want to see a contrast, the Legion Medusa was done in a prototype 1kS scheme. Compare that to the scheme of today.

I really hope the "official" scheme doesn't become orange to differentiate us...

[Frater Antodeniel]

The problem, is that the FW Blood Angels color differs from one photo to the other :

 

On the first photo, it is more orange/terracota :

 

 

And on the second photo, it is clearly Red :

 

 

Personally, i think the second option is best for 30k Blood Angels, but the first isn't bad either. (There can also be little difference color within the Legion, for reasons we may yet not known.)

[LutherMax]

To be honest it reminds me a bit of my own scheme! Especially the edge highlight colour looks like the Amarantha Red I use...

[Tyriks]

Looks like more of a lighting issue than different colors.  The weathering is exactly the same so I think that's the same model in both pics.  One might have been digitally altered or they might have used different lighting.

My color eye isn't as good as it used to be but they definitely did something to the entire picture. If you look at the basing material in both pictures you can see the top is more orange and the bottom more red. Now I want to know which picture was re-touched.....

[tkni]

That inconsistency is textbook RGB/CMYK conversion error - would mean the 'red' is the original.

[Cleon]

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get the red effect from the second picture?

I'm looking at it on my phone so I might be wrong but to me it looks quite similar to my method:

I did a tutorial on it here: http://www.themightybrush.com/how-to-paint-blood-angels-part-i/

[SM1981]

FYI: Luther Max - That is a sexy blood angel.

[Cleon]

Ahh, the yellow underspray to get rid of that natural pinky-purpleness of all the Vallejo reds - hadn't thought of that, cheers, will give it a go on my 30K Angels in the spring when it's warm enough to airbrush outside...

 

(Add usual curse about spending years achieving a Blood Angel paint scheme I was happy with only for GW to discontinue all the paints here...)

[SM1981]

On a related note, how dominant is that thing going to be when it comes to air defence in 40K! Twin linked Lascanons, with all the Deredeo's special rules... Yes Please!

[Tyriks]

I really need a deredeo for my BA... I love everything about them, and it fills a role we need so badly!

[SM1981]

I have one painted. One on my pile of shame, and it looks like I will be adding a third! It's a chapter specific Contemptor I'm longing for though. Edited December 12, 2016 by SM1981

[LutherMax]

I have one so far (Derek, I call him). The weapons are pinned so I can swap them out for the plasma or las. Two would be great in 2k+ games!

[Charlo]

I usually end up Blu-taccing the weapons on and it keeps em fine (also helps with transportation!)

 

When I find out the Lascannons can be used in 40k I'll probably Grab some - though Meltacide usually handles the big AV heavy lifting.

 

Back on topic though - damn book 8 needs to hurry up...

[Jolemai]

As title:

Also, note another paintjob for us.

[Charlo]

Seems to match the Deredeo from the Lascannons preview...! Well, not the weirdly lit orange one that we seemingly debunked.

 

Find it a little weird though as the few colour plates we have from book 6 show us very resplendent shiny red and gold, like Thousand Sons almost... Still Black details however.

[LutherMax]

Niiiice... anyone know who painted these?
