Fairstrife1138 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 This was something that came up during a chat with myself and a few mates, which Legion do you think, when all painted and put on a table, looks the most impressive??

Remus Ventanus. Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think its a toss up between the ultramarines and the luna wolves. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Sons of horus with the colours between the Reavers Justearin and normal sea green looks awesome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Umm, VIII Legion obviously. That's why they always get people like Dan the Deamon, Flint, Balthamal, Agustus and all the other cool people making people models for them. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm going to say that every single Legion has the potential to be the best looking when painted. There are more than a few plogs on here that have turned my head to Legions that I wouldn't have given the time of day to otherwise.

infyrana Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Most of us might well be biased. Death Guard for me, I can't help but see a picture of them painted and feel positive about them - the dirtier the better. No matter how I feel about rules, models, or otherwise, I see painted DG on google images and just know where I'm at. For me, second in line would include: - Night Lords (some people can paint them extremely well indeed, including the lightning! Augustus' springs to mind) - Sons of Horus (the right shade of sea'ish green can make these guys look awesome, spex has done an awesome version of them) - Imperial Fists (a well painted yellow with added weathering looks great, I'm not so keen on all the mixed in black for templars though, spoils it). - Ultramarines (a nice dark blue with some weathering once more, the boys in blue look great if darkened down with plenty of oil stains and mud for a change) - Alpha Legion (I saw a well painted army of these once and remember it enough to include them in this list, mikefrench from another forum?)

Father Mehman Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 My gut instinct is to say Death Guard for the same reasons Infyrna stated, funnily enough. I guess the sons of Mortarion travel together. I've seen Iron Hands models that are great, too. Hey, look at that: two armies I collect in the running! Who would have thought ? Really, I want to see Space Wolves and White Scar armies. My own taste put aside, those are the two I really want to see fleshed-out. There are some people that have already started on Space Wolves and their work is usually fantastic.

Barabbas Sogalon Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Dusk Raiders. Red right hand of justice beats everything. Death Guard and Iron Warriors second.

Marshal Loss Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Sons of Horus (bias, but come on...green, black, topknots...more topknots..), White Scars & a well painted Emperor's Children army are the ones I look forward to seeing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 There is no objective winner to the question posed. Aquilanus has the right of it - in the right hands, ANY of them will look stunning and they don't have to be painted by a golden daemon winner to get to that point, either.

depthcharge12 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Best looking? If have to say Sons of Horus in the dark sea green, Night Lords, and Word Bearers. Srsly, have you seen the wine colored WB tanks with all the glyphs on them? I'd ritually sacrifice members on this forum to get my hands on the really well paired ones :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 The answer to that question is very subjective, and I don't want to see this become a screaming match about who's Legion is prettier. My personal vote? I've always thought the White Scars made for a beautiful army, and have you seen One-Eye's V Legion? My goodness.

Millicant Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I too must agree with Aquilanus. Many times I have dismissed a Legion, only to be blown away by an well-painted army. There is no single "best-looking" but by golly there are a lot of contenders.

Kizzdougs Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 HAHAHAHAHA! Is this even a serious question? Everybody knows the III Legion are where it's at when it comes to good looks and grace. Exhibit A: Palatine Blades (in my opinion the best infantry kit produced by FW) ;) But seriously, all of the Legions can look great if done well.

Slips Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If the Legions have the Following colors as Primaries, I think they look better to me than other Legions: Yellow (surprised? ), Red, Black and White. Other than my own personal Bias to colors? *flips through the HH Book art* All of them.

Dumas Caine Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Frankly any completed army painted well deserves the old tip of the hat. That said im looking at this question more as which legion would make for an eye catching collection. The IIIrd Vth VIIth IXth XIIIth XVth have some inherently 'look-at-me!' kind of schemes. but anyone at anytime could come along and turn any army (30k/40k/whatever) into a masterpiece.

sitnam Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm partial to thw color purple which is unfortumate since I''m an Iron Hands fan and the novel Fulgrim made me hate the third legion. Danmit, McNeil. I also think that Phoenix Terminators just look awesome with a good coat of paint Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have yet to see a Legion that doesn't look good when piled up on a table. You can never go wrong with that much resin. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm gonna throw it out there and some of the really best stuff I've seen painted are the sons of Horus ( sea green man what a colour), Emperors children and Alpha Legion ( especially the metallic blue green schemes). Though all legions I've seen painted well these three make my paintbrush twitch for a challenge. Then I look at tanks. Then I have to remind myself I'm a child of the night and unless I start robbing banks I shouldn't be looking at other legions yet :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308814-best-looking-legion/#findComment-4073782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairstrife1138 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Glad that this hasnt devolved :D Good :DI honestly think that some of the Legions CAN look good, but most, at tabletop level..cant. But thats just me. Salamanders, Iron Hands, White Scars, Raven Guard to mention but a few, if i was to paint them MYSELF, would look like tripe dressed as Eaton Mess. But i think when it comes to pro painted, anything can look amazing. But the ones that always catch my eye are Emperors Children and Death Guard. As they are as polar opposite as you can get in this game.

Fairstrife1138 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 So it seems, massively impressed. But there is a drawback.. with everyone so nice, and all the projects looking so good.. picking a fracking Legion is too hard.
