Brother Callidan Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Sorry for not getting back to you Mithril work is nuts right now. The Plasma is just Kabalite Green and then highlighted with Sybarite green.

Father Mehman Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I am going Black with gold robes. We could call them "Skitarii Thuggz fo' Life, Son" ! When you say "black with gold robes", do you mean black on the outside and gold on the inside?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Good job on the Skitarii. I doubt I'm the only one to think they look like an army of Isaac Clarkes ('Dead Space' video games).

Aspiringchaoschampion Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Im thinking of going purple gold and white will go nicely alongside my slaaneshi marines who are painted in pre heresy Emperors children colours almost (my purple isnt the same colour as FWs) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/8/#findComment-4038598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Wow Kilofix, that sounds precisely like what I got when my wife saw my based Onager. She then told me it needed some drybrushing (and she doesn't paint). I guess I've trained her TOO well!

mmimzie Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Similar topic, but didn't want to start a whole new thread. I was hoping you folks could help me figure out how to paint my cult mechs.  Original I wanted to still the paint styles of  metalica (White, Red, Steel{metals}, Bronze{metal trim}), but instead using (White, Brown, Steel/silver, gold). I figured it would be more regal, and my armies fluff is that they seek only to recover the holy data, and battle is only a step toward that path. I just worry it will lack abit of pop. So maybe (White, Black, Silver, gold) Might pop better, but i fear it looses that Classiness the brown brings.  Any thoughts would rock.

Vel'Cona Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The only problem I have with brown, is what color are you going to paint the Skitarii's weapon casings? Â They default to wood, so you'd have to shift the color a bit or risk blending too much.

Father Mehman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm doing brown robes on my Skitarii and then the wooden stock question came around. The answer: paint it wooden!  Utilizing different paints, the robes, leather, and wood all look different and, I feel, can be told apart very easily. Let me break it down:  Wooden Stock Dryad Bark basecoat Nuln Oil wash Baneblade Brown drybrush  Leather Rhinox Hide basecoat Nuln Oil wash Steel Legion Drab highlight -or- Skrag Brown highlight  Robes Dryad Bark basecaot Nuln Oil wash Gorthor Brown drybrush -or- Karak Stone drybrush Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/8/#findComment-4046535 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 i went a brown robe on my prime but it ended up being too many warm colours so had to change to black robes ...ended up better by far Before & After... (black cloak is still WiP but you see the difference though) Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306073-skitarii-colourschemes/page/8/#findComment-4046825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 That's a really great idea, Mithril! The thought of having a different coloured robe for the Primus is blowing my mind ! Back to the drawing board for my colour scheme on these guys.

(black cloak is still WiP but you see the difference though) Mithril wow thanks a lot for hsowing that extra pic; really puts it all in prospective. I think I'll just go with metalica and change all the red to gold. i think gold pops well enough off gold to work out.

MithrilForge Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 No worries guys, i'm glad my mistake helped you out . yeah on the prime idea i wanted him to stand out like the proverbial so i will actually do the same for my Ranger Alpha(Prime) (for when i choose to use him) i cant wait to see how he will look in a black hooded robe . @ mmimize - do a test model first to see if it works in real life, i can't wait to see what you come up with, i always like seeing new takes on schemes! @Mehman - i agree in part to your colour choices for different browns but sometimes even with differing browns it still disappears into each other,i find balancing warm and cold colours make's a more stark (winter is coming ) contrast on the model.

Ascanius Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm doing Forgeworld Agripinaa. My Space Marines are Sons of Medusa, so I am interpreting the line from the codex about that world's "sense of truth and logic (being) likewise inverted" as Agripinaa being more friendly towards the oddities of the descendants of the Moirae Heresy. Plus, with the Sons of Medusa being green, I didn't want to go for the original Martian colour because it'd look a bit too Christmassy to have green-armoured Space Marines alongside red-robed Skitarii.

Vel'Cona Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The results speak for themselves, but I'm definitely a fan of the black robes over the brown. I see where you guys are going with the alternate weapon casing colors; even shifting to a darker/lighter shade of brown will work just fine. I agree, a test model is an absolute necessity for most armies; in this case it probably saved you from a troublesome repaint. That said, I try not to take any longer on the test model than I intend to take once I get into the assembly line painting. Otherwise, my test model ends up looking too good and he stands out awkwardly from his unit!

mmimzie Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well thank full I'm going to start my forces with cult, and I'll be able to spend some serious time on the tech priest dominus and the datasmith, and really every model because the model count is so low. Â My army of paints come in wensday so I'll paint a test smith and a test kastelan and blpost it for review.
