tjr Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 How you gonna paint them? Did you get the codex? No, didn't get the Dex. I probably should have. I've taken a liking to Createx airbrush colors, so I'll probably pick one of them as my base color and go from there. Teal or orange or azure or turquoise.

LutherMax Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 In the Dex they have some schemes based on the home worlds which are quite cool – but if you have your own ideas maybe it's good you didn't get it so you're not influenced – that way you can come up with something cool and unique.

Charlo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ryza is such a -hot scheme and the fluff is great (easy excuse to include plasma?!?) but there is definately more fun in inventing your own Here's mine for when I eventually move past the "undercoated on sprue" stage of Skitarii - From the Forge world of Infernum Secondus. Thier fluff ties into my BA Successor too :D http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/Skitarii%20mini_zpsleetevn4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjr Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 If I had to pick one from the Codex (I've read the shop copy), it would have to be Metalica, due to my affinity for the band with a similar name. I'm currently thinking Pearlized turquoise for the outside cape. Sand for the inside. Copper (I just love Vallejo Tinny Tin) for the metals. And a heavy dose of earth pigments for weathering.

Charlo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I swear there is someone on the boards who has done a Turquoise mechanicus army and it looks sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I've really been struggling between Bugs and Imps lately. Both are really appealing to me in different ways. I've always wanted to try a small force of both. My biggest issue is that the bugs are holding guns. The Imps have loads of tanks so its a bit more costly.

I have a box untouched from when they came out, and was planning to do Metalica (or at least my own variation thereof) @ Charlo, love your scheme - very steampunk with the copper!

IIRC, FW produced a Forge World Metallica transfer sheet, if that sways your decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 With all the awesome new models, I (re)started my Tau army ;) The main purpose was to paint something in a completely different style and color scheme and prevent a burn out due to only painting red all the time.. it also worked apparently, I'm really looking forward to painting that new chaplain we got for example! On the imperial side, I would probably further expand my inquisition and grey knights next, especially inquisition has a huge variety of models to choose from, it's great ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
