Nomus Sardauk Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Could do a compromise of sorts and make a really, really dark blue-black, sort of like a beetle's shell with that iridescent quality to it. It looks like pure nebulous black from a distance but once you get closer you can see the deepest azure where the light strikes the armour.

Chief Captain Redd Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 As far as painting goes there are those iridescent clear coats that the Scions use and my friend uses a similar idea on his Flamers of Tzeench as he wanted them to look like oil.

Doctor Perils Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 How about something like this? Then the Shoulder trims can be bronze for sergeants, silver for "Guard Captains", and gold for Tower Masters? http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/sm/bpe=000064&bpj=000064&bp=000064&bpc=000064&hdt=ADADAD&hdm=ADADAD&hdl=ADADAD&ey=000064&er=ADADAD&pi=333333&nk=000064&ch=000064&eg=ADADAD&sk=ADADAD&abs=333333&bt=000064&cod=000064&ull=000064&lk=000064&lll=000064&lft=000064&url=000064&rk=000064&lrl=000064&rft=000064&slt=333333&sli=000064&srt=333333&sri=000064&ula=000064&lel=000064&lla=000064&lw=000064&lh=000064&ura=000064&rel=000064&rla=000064&rw=000064&rh=000064&bg=FFFFFF&rb=333333&gr=333333&/spacemarine.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320938-ia-the-nightguard/page/8/#findComment-4464124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I prefer the silver bits lighter, but I like the idea for regular troopers. Though bronze-silver-gold could be a little too obvious. I suggest silver on the top of the helmet, upper body trim and gauntlets for sergeants. Then full silver trim and helmet on captains, and the above amount of gold on Tower Masters. Actually, I'm liking the dark faceplate and silver gorget more the longer I look at it.

Nomus Sardauk Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I like Bluntblade's first concept for the Nightguard colours but I think maybe it's a bit busy, all the alternating colour bits would likely be difficult and a chore to paint from a practical standpoint, plus the mouthe grille & piping has never looked right to me in anything other than standard black. Also the idea of higher-ranking NG getting gold trim to distinguish them sound alright in theory but at the moment it just looks out of place, personally I'd prefer to stick with silver for the most part due to it's relationship with the occult with maybe gold for minor embellishments and decoration. Therefore, I'd like to put forward a revised version. Colour list: Midnight Blue- #0A0550 Silver- #EBEBFF Eye Lenses- #46D2FF Piping, Grille & Soft Armour- #000000 Basic Nightguard: Plain & simple, but still distinct given how the only other Legion to sport blue is the Wardens of Light (unless the Shepards of Eden revert back to their duck-egg blue after splitting from Raktra and the VII) and they only wear it partially to contrast their relentless bling. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/sm/bpe=05003C&bpj=EBEBFF&bp=05003C&bpc=05003C&hdt=05003C&hdm=05003C&hdl=05003C&ey=46D2FF&er=05003C&pi=000000&nk=05003C&ch=05003C&eg=EBEBFF&sk=EBEBFF&abs=05003C&bt=EBEBFF&cod=05003C&ull=05003C&lk=05003C&lll=05003C&lft=05003C&url=05003C&rk=05003C&lrl=05003C&rft=05003C&slt=EBEBFF&sli=05003C&srt=EBEBFF&sri=05003C&ula=05003C&lel=05003C&lla=05003C&lw=EBEBFF&lh=EBEBFF&ura=05003C&rel=05003C&rla=05003C&rw=EBEBFF&rh=EBEBFF&bg=FFFFFF&rb=000000&gr=000000&wg=true&aq=true&dm1=true&mk7=000000&/spacemarine.jpg Sergeants: A simple concept, yet I'll admit I struggled for a while trying to think of something without infringing on the Captain's silver helm. Idly at one of my old Blood Angels Sergeants gave me an answer, the pauldrons! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/sm/bpe=0A0550&bpj=EBEBFF&bp=0A0550&bpc=0A0550&hdt=0A0550&hdm=0A0550&hdl=0A0550&ey=46D2FF&er=0A0550&pi=000000&nk=0A0550&ch=0A0550&eg=EBEBFF&sk=EBEBFF&abs=0A0550&bt=EBEBFF&cod=0A0550&ull=0A0550&lk=0A0550&lll=0A0550&lft=0A0550&url=0A0550&rk=0A0550&lrl=0A0550&rft=0A0550&slt=EBEBFF&sli=EBEBFF&srt=EBEBFF&sri=EBEBFF&ula=0A0550&lel=0A0550&lla=0A0550&lw=EBEBFF&lh=EBEBFF&ura=0A0550&rel=0A0550&rla=0A0550&rw=EBEBFF&rh=EBEBFF&bg=FFFFFF&rb=000000&gr=000000&wg=true&aq=true&dm1=true&/spacemarine.jpg Captain: Silver helms, plus any additional trim/decoration on the model itself, I'm considering adding the Sarge's silver pauldrons too but I'm unsure. I reckon the Silver helms will be enough simply because I'm still envisioning the NG's higher-ups wearing SG-styled Death Masks (minus the halo) so with those two combined they'll stand out well. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/sm/bpe=0A0550&bpj=EBEBFF&bp=0A0550&bpc=0A0550&hdt=EBEBFF&hdm=EBEBFF&hdl=EBEBFF&ey=46D2FF&er=EBEBFF&pi=000000&nk=0A0550&ch=0A0550&eg=EBEBFF&sk=EBEBFF&abs=0A0550&bt=EBEBFF&cod=0A0550&ull=0A0550&lk=0A0550&lll=0A0550&lft=0A0550&url=0A0550&rk=0A0550&lrl=0A0550&rft=0A0550&slt=EBEBFF&sli=0A0550&srt=EBEBFF&sri=0A0550&ula=0A0550&lel=0A0550&lla=0A0550&lw=EBEBFF&lh=EBEBFF&ura=0A0550&rel=0A0550&rla=0A0550&rw=EBEBFF&rh=EBEBFF&bg=FFFFFF&rb=000000&gr=000000&wg=true&aq=true&cloak=000000&dm1=true&mk7=000000&/spacemarine.jpg Okay, this late one is maybe skirting the edge of the Grey Knight's territory with the whole "Truesilver" thing but I had the idea for an all-silver scheme for a NG elite unit, something akin to the GK Purifiers maybe, or perhaps it could used for the Tower Masters to represent their purity and warding against the taint of the Warp as their armour is painted/ imbued/made/whatever with this blessed silver. NG Tower Master/Elite: Golden Chest Eagle/Plastron- #967D32 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/sm/bpe=EBEBFF&bpj=EBEBFF&bp=EBEBFF&bpc=EBEBFF&hdt=EBEBFF&hdm=EBEBFF&hdl=EBEBFF&ey=46D2FF&er=EBEBFF&pi=000000&nk=EBEBFF&ch=EBEBFF&eg=967D32&sk=967D32&abs=EBEBFF&bt=EBEBFF&cod=EBEBFF&ull=EBEBFF&lk=EBEBFF&lll=EBEBFF&lft=EBEBFF&url=EBEBFF&rk=EBEBFF&lrl=EBEBFF&rft=EBEBFF&slt=EBEBFF&sli=EBEBFF&srt=EBEBFF&sri=EBEBFF&ula=EBEBFF&lel=EBEBFF&lla=EBEBFF&lw=EBEBFF&lh=EBEBFF&ura=EBEBFF&rel=EBEBFF&rla=EBEBFF&rw=EBEBFF&rh=EBEBFF&bg=FFFFFF&rb=000000&gr=000000&wg=true&aq=true&cloak=000000&dm1=true&/spacemarine.jpg I'm imagining them with Captain-like Death Masks (maybe Stormcast Eternal rather than Sanguinary Guard-esque?) and beautifully physique-sculpted armour to represent them being exemplars of everything good and worthy about Mankind. They are atheistic Paladins, disciples not of some false god, but of Humanity itself! Of the Emperor! The Emperor is the pinnacle of Humanity and thus Humanity IS their god! Humanity is the source of their strength, for greater love hath no man than he who would lay down his very soul for Mankind! It is Humanity that empowers them to strike down the daemon and the traitor! It was Humanity that conquered the Galaxy once, and will do so yet again!

bluntblade Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'll have a crack at altering it this morning. Shouldn't take too long. How about we simply step up the amount of silver as we go up the ranks? I'll list the colours I use next time, too. My blue skews a bit closer to green than everyone else's (I just like this shade more) and my silver is a little bluish.

bluntblade Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The boots are a little Converse-ish, I guess, but personally I prefer the less saturated blue. Makes them more sombre, which I think fits better than a more saturated hue. Nux is a Knight Errant who becomes a Nightguard at the end of the Insurrection.
