AfroCampbell Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hey team, I am BACK! and my Alpha Legion are coming alo... well its a secret ;) but I will soon be starting a thread detailing my exploration into everything Alpha Legion including my developing Harrow. however before I get to that I have a vital question: Do you paint your bolters black primarily or entirely boltgun..... would love thoughts.... (these will be going on AL) Once again a MASSIVE thank-you to the B&C community for the incredible support in restarting!

Olis Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I always paint the casing a different colour to the other parts of the gun. Personally, I think a bronze casing might work for your Alphas.

Robzilla Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I opted for a black casing on my alpha legion. But then again, I did my holsters and webbing packs black too just to tie in the colours. Its quite understated, which I think works for alpha legion, but to each their own.

Grotsmasha Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I experimented with all metal, but giving the casing additional washes to further distinguish it. I'd throw up a pic, but everything is still packed up from moving.

Skalpynock Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 My single Alpha Legionary (which I never got around to posting because of a botched paintjob) had a black bolter casing, and the rest was leadbelcher. Wasn't a "standard" blue/green/indigo Alpha color scheme though, I was aiming at a metallic purple.

DuskRaider Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I do mine black. They're just standard issue, rank and file weapons mass produced for the Great Crusade. Character and Master Crafted weapons can be fancy, however.

Brother Pheidias Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Depends on the pattern and model. Phobos, Tigrus and Godwyn gets coloured casings, Umbra are bare metal. Of course, for characters this may differ.

Soldier of Dorn Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 My blokes all have bare metal casings (so far.) I'd like to think it helps give them a rugged, simple, practical feel, even if it may not have any grounding in reality. Though I'm doing Fists.

Dagoth Ur Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I give mine either a gold-brass, black or white casing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323302-black-or-boltgun-a-question-for-all/#findComment-4423388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfroCampbell Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Hmmmm ok, they have Tigris pattern. I feel like doing black will tie them into the rest of the black shoulder pads etc on other parts of the scheme. thank-you for the input. Thread will be starting shortly!!
