pathatrick Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm about to paint an officer of the fleet and was wondering if a red overcoat would be appropriate as apposed to the blue you usually see.

Lucien Eilam Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Perfectly appropriate. There are hundreds if not thousands of sector battlefleets across the Imperium, each of which could have their own liveries.

Centurio Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 According to some old fluff I read, each segmentum has its own color. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302085-imperial-navy-colors/#findComment-3921835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Indeed, while blue might be the usual there are any number of reasons for a different colour. Go with a nice red, I reckon it'd look great too :tu: Mine wears green no less :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302085-imperial-navy-colors/#findComment-3921873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Any colour sufficiently different to your dirty ground-pounders would suffice. And yes, do show us the mini I wonder which GW colour would be closest to RAF uniform blue...

WarriorFish Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 A Space Wolfy blue perhaps? Surely though we're talking senior service here so it should really be a nice darker blue... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302085-imperial-navy-colors/#findComment-3922445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Dark French blue! Used to be called Regal Blue and yes I do have a pot but I think I have given my plan away, I have been trying to get hold of the FW Imperial Navy Thunderbolt Pilot for my Officer of the Fleet just to be different Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302085-imperial-navy-colors/#findComment-3923866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathatrick Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 This guy is a pompous for sure. I bet the guard hold great disdain. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/pathatrick/20150123_232117_zps540rc5zu.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302085-imperial-navy-colors/#findComment-3930186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 He's generally disdainful of being on terra firma I think, he has that look of "I wish I was on my starship, it's muddy here and the air is too fresh" :P He looks great, the red works very well especially with the shading layers you've done :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302085-imperial-navy-colors/#findComment-3930283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
