Azzagorn Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I decided that I want to give my scions a bit of a different colour scheme to my main IG force. I want it to be black and grey. But with the edge highlights to be either metallic blue or purple. (on the armour) and your grey highlights ob any cloth or fabric. What do you guys think?

WarriorFish Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think black and grey will work very well. A metallic colour would be good to round it off, I might go for a darker blue? A good candidate for making good use of washes too so it could be a pretty easy scheme to paint too :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310020-my-scion-colour-scheme/#findComment-4102030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 That is almost what I'm planning to do. Going all black, with red trim as a spot colour for the rest of my army. I think the scheme as you described it will work, I would add a colour to tie in with the rest of your force for the armour trim.

My main colour scheme is purple and blue so I will make metallic blue or purple for the outline of the chest armour. I will then pick out the eye pieces with a bright blue (build up to a ice blue/white mix) This is all theory of course because these guys are still on my battlecruiser waiting to deep strike onto my modelling table.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm looking forward to seeing this, it sounds interesting. Are you planning to blend the highlight so it looks like a deep dark color?

Azzagorn Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm not that accomplished at painting but I try my best ;) Scions are fun models and have plenty of bits that set them apart. I just can't wait to final get a legal force together so I can finally play. I want at least 75% of everything painted before hand though. Once I have them based I will paint one and post images. Any tips on blending and mixing colours with bolt gun or mitherl silver?

Similar issue I have, main colours are red and white. I've just decied to go with one as a spot. I'm planning on painting 5 for my next ETL vow, I'm sure we can compare notes.

captain sox Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I was having a hard time deciding my final colours, and did a half and half kinda thing with Black and Purple: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150610_215607_zpsh3l2mecn.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150610_215420_zpsvalpc93g.jpg The shoulder pad, and knee pads are split between the black and purple, while the torso is purple and the other armour is black.can't see the knees well, but it works and looks pretty good.

Azzagorn Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 I do like the purple thats why I've chosen it for my main regiment colour as well as Ultramarine blue. Still haven't assembled my scions hopefully during the week I will manage it.
