ANGRYMARINE Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I think I'm going to paint my rangers like Fremen from the Dune series. Also going to do an Iron Man and War Machine color scheme Kastelans.

TonyL Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm just getting back into collecting after a 20 year absence, got my first box of skitarii at the weekend and have decided on Agripinaa colour scheme: It's not perfect but I'm fairly happy with it as a first attempt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/13/#findComment-4099306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Great work, TonyL! I think you've got a solid overall scheme here with the gentle glow and varied metallics. Question going forward: will you be able to mass produce this scheme? WB to the hobby and the glory of the Omnissiah!

TonyL Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well the plan is to build up my army slowly, mainly because I remember in the old days having loads of unpainted miniatures, and secondly so the wife doesn't notice the hit to the bank balance Once I get the current vanguard and rangers painted, it'll be another box to increase the squad numbers and heavy weapon options.

Vel'Cona Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Keep it up! I'm right there with you, I only buy and build within my capacity to paint. Ms. Vel'Cona approves of this methodology!

Kaljerico Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I went for a different colour to what my other armies are, and went for Purple with a red.

MithrilForge Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 good stuff kal, purple and silver work quite well together,i look fwd to the finished product...perhaps a bone/light brown for the leggings would be better contrast...the red may look out of place with so much purple...just a suggestion Karak stone with a light agrax wash in the seams/folds with ushabti highlights is a real winner on the legs.

Charlo Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Man, my thread is doing well. Especially love the Tiger Eyes Skitarii! Keep it up people! In terms of my own Skitarii... Nothing yet, maybe when I take a break from my BA I'll paint up a unit of each Troops :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/13/#findComment-4133711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Potato of Mankind Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Heh the last time I checked this thread it was all specific, existing schemes. So I go away and think I'll try my Vallejo Ochre Spray colour...then I see pages of yellow skitarii :) Time to give mine a go!

Grand Master Laertes Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hello, everyone! After many months away from the hobby (due first to the hottest summer I can remember, that dried my paints in the exact moment I put them on my palette, and then to the release of Metal Gear Solid V) I finally managed to complete my first squad of Skitarii from the forge World Incaladion: (click on the image for a larger version - a couple of other pictures are on my blog) I am extremely satisfied with how they turned out, even if it took me forever to complete them!

Vel'Cona Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The results are well worth the effort, I'd say! That flame pattern is immaculate and I love the contrast between the orange and black on the cloaks. Your attention to detail really stands out on these.

RikuEru Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Many different and nice colour schemes you all have! (Especially those who work with white, yellow or orange tones... I bow to your skill!)But the ones made by Jae, Derpaderp and Annatar Giftbringer are the ones going into my direction... for my... "project".More in the future! *goes back to lurk in the shadows* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/13/#findComment-4264095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodgrin Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 For my second journey into the Mars realms I have decided something a big different.I am going to try a Steampunk look, brown leather on the rangers and Dominus, brasses and coppers all around steel. It is in my head, just have to see if I can make come to life.

Skinrider Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So, my first unit of Skitarii finally reached a completion stage where you can have an idea of direction I am going to, so I can show you the soldiers of the Aksita of Incaladion (inspired to the Tiger Eyes Titans Legion): and with a group shot: I hope you like them! WOW! Absolutely beautiful yellow. I went to your blog and downloaded a ton of pics and bookmarked your yellow tutorial. Yellow looks SO good when it's well done, I think I'll need to make my next knight yellow. I'm planning a yellow Mechanicum as well :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/13/#findComment-4461044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Cato Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Here is my scheme: My command/warlord squad is slightly different (red robes): Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/13/#findComment-4461793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Great Skitarii, Castellan Cato! I love that green glow and the metallic paints are very consistent. The basing ties everything together well, too. I kind of wish I'd painted my Warlord's squad differently now that I've seen yours; he tends to blend in with the rest of my units at this point!

Magos Takatus Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I've not seen many green Skitarii yet so here is some of my guys. Most of my Skitarii have blue lenses for their eyes but I couldn't resist painting the Vanguard with red eyes. Whether it's a nod to the Cylons or KITT is up to you. :p I think I went overboard on the varnish for my Skitarii, in particular the rifles on my Rangers look a bit gloopy after I painted gloss varnish over them. My squads are currently missing their squad markings but I've got my custom transfers on order. I'll have to see how those turn out.

JeffTibbetts Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Is that a movement tray or a display stand? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/13/#findComment-4462544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Oh, it's just an MDF movement tray I bought online on Ebay. It seemed like a good idea since I also have Orks but I've based them to fit my Skitarii instead.

Still can't really decide on a scheme however, my initial one I am not put off... Basically I play Black & Red Blood Angels and my Custodes will be Gold. So my combo scheme of these colours will probably result in major burnout... I'll keep red as a main colour though to show allegiance. The plan is to have the main Cult/ Skit as one colour scheme, cybernetica as another and then secutarii and knights as a third - to represent the different factions. Maybe one unifying colour overall. Instead i'm looking for a sort of 2nd Edition feel to the army, inspired by this pic (its Titans but ya get me): Hidden Content Anyone got any good pics for 2nd ed Titan/ Skitarii Robots/ Ad Mech of any kind I can use to get some sorta inspiration from?
