So after I finish my next pred and LR, I'm going to be working on a grav bike squad. Should I follow the BA scheme and do different helmet colors for the different squad types? If so I would not be doing yellow but maybe a grey for Assualt squads. Other option would be just to do a different color knee pad.

 

Thoughts? Other suggestions? I'm leaning towards just a different color on the knee pad to be honest.

BA bikers are sometimes depicted with yellow helms (ala assault marines), but sometimes just red helms (ala tactical marines). Think I'll go red on mine when I finally get around to them - go with whichever you think looks cooler I reckon!

In my successor at least, Bikers will have Yellow Weapon Casings.

 

Just like my Assault Marines, Land Speeders or anything else generally "Fast Attack"

I've seen that done to great effect, thusly:

Very cool Luther! I always tend to think I don't like yellow or feel like it wouldn't look badass enough but then I see something like this... I still don't know if I could pull off yellow, but there's no denying that dude is one bad mother lover...

Son of dorn: I am using white helms for the 1st co. I don't want my guys to look too rainbowy? So I'm trying to stick with more neutral colors.

 

Ark: I was thinking eshin grey, and the maybe a lighter grey (admisitratum?) for Devs (which I don't plan on using anytime soon). That way it would go from black to grey to white as my guys move through the ranks (I'll have them start as TAC marines instead of ASM like BA normally would).

 

However, I am kinda liking the idea of just all black helms with different color knee pads/weapon casings. If I go grey helms, my mostly black vehicles may not match those grey helmed squads as much...

 

Charlo: I actually really like how that looks!

You could always do the opposite. The more experienced they get the darker it gets. When they become tactical marines they "die" (symbolically) and then we they become veterans they are "reborn into life" and so become white helmed as symbolism.

Mostly finished LATF besides the tech marine I forgot to kitbash... Once I find all the pieces and fix some things up, i'll post better pics. New place, still working out the best lighting for pics...

Thank you Luther!

 

Anyone have any advice on what color the hammers should be? I was thinking black to match my other termies and to help cover up my mistakes when pinning the hammers, but I'm thinking black might not fit since there's no black anywhere else...

I'd go for pure Iron for the shaft. Fits the iron-y details on the power armor as well.
Or possibly red like the other details on the power armor if you want to paint some details on the hammer iron-y as well.

Now with bases! Just need to add the storm shields and do some small touch ups... probably will leave the hammers how they are and fix them up a bit when I'm better with green stuff later on...
