Daevyll Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 What with the new Codex coming out I was tempted to do a new scheme. Basic background is that it is a DA successor chapter that has chosen to keep the Deathwing bone color as its basic armour color for some reason I have yet to think of. The real reason is that, while I have always loved the Deathwing colors (sans the Green/Red Christmas tree ornaments), I like the Greenwing colors a lot less. I'll base him when I get some 32mm bases. So here goes, Brother First Try of the Unnamed : http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r722/Daevyll/4F12452A-6137-4BD4-98A9-AEBEC616BBEC_zpsgojv4zhz.jpg For reference, this is the scheme used by my Terminators: http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r722/Daevyll/839b3fac-0e97-4428-a93e-126147c35388_zpsc1192ae3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobrakei Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 That really does work nicely. What colours are you using for the blue and bone as the bone especially catches my eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daevyll Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 That really does work nicely. What colours are you using for the blue and bone as the bone especially catches my eye? Thanks, the bone color is 'Elfbein' from Vallejo Model Air range (I use VMA for a lot of brushwork, love the stuff). The tabard was done in GW Dark Reaper with the highlighting mixed with a few shades of Vallejo Model Color greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hm74 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Very nice! I'm not a big fan of the "bone" colour scheme shown in the codex, yours however looks very nice indeed. I've decided (After a stupidly long time deliberating) to paint my DW in a light grey colour scheme so as to represent ash. A little apprehensive but we'll see how it turns out ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it to highlight black, but might have to find a model to base with it now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little apprehensive but we'll see how it turns out Thanks, the main issue I have with the GW color scheme is the red and green accents used, it makes the Deathwing look too much like Christmas elves in my opinion. THat is why I've used more muted colors such as stone (grey), black and brass. I'm very curious how Terminators in light grey would look, don't forget to post them here when you've painted one!

I've posted a link in the hall of honour forum in the HQ thread of my Belial done in the same scheme (currently last post).....I'd copy a link to here but I've still not figured out how to get all the posting options up when using my ipad ..lol I've only been painting miniatures since February of this year so please be gentle ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Sindiferous Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Love the color scheme. Bone because they are an all star group from other known successors = meaning all veterans? Maybe take super secret OO19 type missions..... Either way keep the blue on bone scheme. Never Forget! Never Forgive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to 'borrow' that suggestion ;) Kind of like an Unforgiven Deathwatch unit to assist the parent chapter, I like the idea. Would also give me an opportunity to mix imagery from multiple known successors from a modelling point of view. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
