HackedDuck Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 So for a little while I've been tinkering around with different colour schemes and have decided to go with a house Terryn sort of colour scheme (with the blue and red). I've yet to think of a name or any fluff for my forge world so any ideas anyone? :P anyway here's a WIP test model of the new colour scheme - And here's what I'll be working on in this thread (also vow 1 for the ETL) - I also have another knight to do and some kastellans.

WarriorFish Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I think the blue looks good, it's cool to see somewhat different schemes though perhaps I am biased! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322413-to-conquer-a-galaxy-an-imperial-knight-and-skitarii-blog/#findComment-4395409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The blue is indeed interesting... A purple look that is unusual Me like Btw hacked duck have you receive my PM? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322413-to-conquer-a-galaxy-an-imperial-knight-and-skitarii-blog/#findComment-4399485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A purple look that is unusual Me like The lighting is a bit weird their not that purple in real life but thank you I will post pictures of the knight when it is finished (which will be soon) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322413-to-conquer-a-galaxy-an-imperial-knight-and-skitarii-blog/#findComment-4399499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackedDuck Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 My knight is nearly done just a few more details to go now :) What does everyone think? Criticism welcome as I need to know how I can improve :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322413-to-conquer-a-galaxy-an-imperial-knight-and-skitarii-blog/#findComment-4400451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think the blue is very nice, I'm thinking of doing a light blue for my Knight too :) The colours are great, but I do think a bit more highlighting would help on the blue, as darker blues can easily do the "flat void" thing like black. I think it's mainly on the carapace?

I think it's mainly on the carapace? Yeah I as said it is not finished I still have a lot of highlights to do but if I do them all at once my concentration tends to slip and I start getting messy. Thanks though and I would love to see your knight get some paint :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322413-to-conquer-a-galaxy-an-imperial-knight-and-skitarii-blog/#findComment-4400511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Do you have any particular plans for the base? Mine is a bit plain at the moment so I'm hoping to spruce it up somehow. I will be starting on my Knight's paint this weekend, so just as well I'm finally settling on some colours :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322413-to-conquer-a-galaxy-an-imperial-knight-and-skitarii-blog/#findComment-4400520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardbattered Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Everything looks great so far! What sort of theme do you have in mind for your basing? What are your plans for heraldry/iconography? I feel like the red and blue on the shield could use some separation. Maybe a white stripe with an icon over it?

HackedDuck Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I plan something urban for the base so I will pick something up at the local hobby store. I don't know what to do with the heraldry as of yet, I want to create a forge world symbol but I'm rubbish at freehanding. As for the white strip I might try it but I'm worried it will be out of place as there is no other white on the model??

Beardbattered Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Good point about the white. Hmmm. I'll have to keep thinking on it. Have you knocked around any ideas for fluff? A good thing to keep in mind is that you don't have to use the entire transfer, if you choose that route. It's a lot of fun chopping up parts of transfers and layering them onto each other to make something unique that fits your fluff. Looking forward to seeing more! I love me some Knights!

HackedDuck Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hmm I hadn't thought of that with the transfers I'll have to give that a go thanks!

HackedDuck Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Some progress - did the red on the knight and started work on the vanguard but nowhere near done. It's been hard finding the time to paint these but I'm slowly getting there Lighting isn't so good on this one there is another in my gallery As always C and C welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322413-to-conquer-a-galaxy-an-imperial-knight-and-skitarii-blog/#findComment-4403884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardbattered Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The red is looking really nice! It's a very rich tone. I find red to be one of the harder colors to find a shade that I like. Fit the hobby time in when you can, brother. Every minute you can squeeze in from time to time adds up quick!

HackedDuck Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yeah I tried the Mars colour scheme so many times but I never had a consistent red that I like so I did the blue.

Vel'Cona Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Great stuff, love that muted blue (it's a colour after my own heart). Looking forward to seeing the completed urban basing, which is again my favourite style of basing. Don't be scared to try a hand at making your own transfers, either! Dunno if that was your plan, but it's way easier than it sounds and it really lets you let loose with your own custom style. I tried it out with my IK and I must say he really stands out vs. other Knights thanks to that extra bit of elbow grease.

HackedDuck Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Vanguard alpha nearly complete now - still got the pistol to do and he's pretty much done Also stated work on the base of the knight ( I decided against the urban theme ) Would anyone recommend a specific could to drybrush Martian ironearth to make it pop more?
