Charlo Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) The following transmission originates from a rebel human colony - intercepted by Solar Auxillia scouts of the 777th Rad Dogs attached to the 456th Expedition Fleet, working under the IVXth Legion 894.M30 - Resistance Outpost to Resistance Headquarters The line opens with some brief static and the high pitched sound of a vox frequency adjusting. It is eventually broken and tuned into a male voice - deep and gruff, but a sense of culture, like he is learned in both scholarly and soldiery pursuits. The pic-feed adjusts and shows his face - he seems to be about 40, rugged and wreathed by war and his uniform denotes mid-level seniority, a line or platoon officer perhaps. He speaks: "The mists are coming in... The men don't feel safe. Unease grips at thier throats like a would be assassin, threatening to end what miserable lives they have defending this hell hole. We were told to shore up this place and for what? Not even a whisper of an enemy. Day after day and night after night we wait but they never come. Johnson thought he saw something at dusk the other night, a grey shadow with obsidian eyes peering at us in the distance. We all laughed at the poor bastard. Although now, with no sign of the enemy there are... Whispers.... "What if they're seizing us up?" "What if they're waiting for our supplies to run out?" "What if they aren't man, but ghost intent on eating our souls!" Yes... That last one was Johnson. Wild imagination running again. I keep them in line. Run drills and patrols to keep them on thier feet. When the enemy come, if they do come.... We'll. Be.

Father Mehman Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 There would be much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair if you painted Death Guard silver.

Dantay VI Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I suspect silver, then chipping medium, the rust and cream :) I am going to look forward to this descent into weaponised chemical hell..

Doctor Perils Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 What about a white version of the Viva Metallica method if you want to do something crazy ?

Dantay VI Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Hairspray works pretty well too, or using salt.. Thread derailment imminent... I love the DG terminators... I also like that you are doing the top-knot too so it is akin to the collected visions artwork. Derailment averted, phew!!

Skalpynock Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Silver Death Guard kinda makes sense. That's the color of bare ceramite, below the standard paint that chips at the first bullet fired by a rebel, or melts at the first las-shot.

That's the color of bare ceramite, below the standard paint that chips at the first bullet fired by a rebel, or melts at the first las-shot. Exactly! I'm thinking a really dull silver, almost grey with maybe some white in the right places. I'm also planning a little...

Father Mehman Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Bare ceramite is ivory coloured. Grey Knights wear silver impregnated ceramite. Just wanted to throw that out there . I'll be happy if it's grimy. So grimy it grows algae... You'll make us proud !

Calas Typhon Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 A dull, light silver could look pretty sweet! would definately stand out from the pure white battle damaged and the grime encrusted or dirty ivory coloured forces!

Calas Typhon Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Always liked the topknots on the Cataphractii sets in the artwork, always thought it added to the overall "elite" effect it gave. I am not too sure how it looks on the helm rather than the top of the torso will look forward to how it is painted up!
