Relict Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Brothers and sisters, I managed to get a response from FW regarding the below paint scheme: http://s4.postimg.org/8xlclifod/ultra_marines_pratorian.jpg The response itself: Hi [NAME REDACTED], I've attached the colour scheme for you to take a look at.

Leviathus Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Good old Forge World sharing their recipes for free and across the mail! But I can't help but chuckle about the fact that they don't always use their own paints. Thanks for sharing!

Stofficus Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Nice recipe - I do like how FW is quite open with their painting techniques, though I admit I'm not a huge fan of their Ultra scheme. I prefer lighter Ultramarines - akin to the cyan/sky blue of the Ultramarines in the Space Marine videogame, but it's nice seeing how they do their very proficient schemes are produced. The Alpha Legion one in particular is quite "out there" in particular.

Yeah, FW seems a lot easier going on that front, they even dont mind the fact that they are technically promoting foreign brands of paints and such in place of their own or GW, but so long as you get what you want. For that they definitely have my respect! I also happen to be a big fan of their AL scheme!

Balthamal Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Or you can just buy the FW paint when it's available in a few weeks since it's got that mixture already done properly :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307785-forgeworld-ultramarines-legion-paint-recipe/#findComment-4047542 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relict Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I just ordered Conquest, Tempest, the UM transfer sheet, a plasma- and missile-armed Deredeo, and a darkfire-armed Castellex. God help me. I think I have a problem. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307785-forgeworld-ultramarines-legion-paint-recipe/#findComment-4048647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
