Sagentus Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I personally really like the color scheme. So much detail in these figures its great. If you would like to make them stand out as DA more, maybe try some more red decals or if your feeling brave go for the red bolter :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4797320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Looking great! I prefer Dark Angels to be brighter than the train wreck that is Caliban Green, and these look great. Maybe a tiny smidge brighter Han I would go, but love how you can see the detail I really don't know what GW were thinking when ray replaced Dark Angels Green with Caliban Green. I know they had to change the name for ip protection, but the colour of Caliban Green is way too dark, especially if you look at Dark Angels over the previous editions Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4797327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR0N Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Man my life has been full on lately, I've almost neglected my Warhammer. Small update. I figure this is going to be the rough standard I use for my troops. Not quite my HQ level. Very basic highlights and blocking.

Sagentus Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The red bolters now make then indistinguishable to me. And lol that isnt basic, that is a decent level of painting right there ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4802979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Dark Raptormanders But seriously, they look ace. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4803196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR0N Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Man, so slack lately! I really need to pick this back up. Someone breath some life into me!

BeatTheBeat Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Huge fan of the green, it's brighter than the norm but definitely still within Dark Angels realms. Great painting all around!Cheers,BTB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4831980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm gonna go ahead and be that guy and say I still think the green is too light. Gorgeous light green, but a bit too light nonetheless?

Mechanist Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure if it's to light but I feel it's to yellow/grey and not rich enough for dark angles. A very nice camo green colour but for the first legion they have a very rich deep green. You may find a glaze is the way to intensify the colour and shift the shade.

Blindhamster Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 progress is looking great, I like the green, it gives a pretty 2nd ed feel to them, which is very nice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4832783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oghma Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Personally as I am returning from a long hiatus I would really like to see a step by step in this thread. The whole idea of using gloss for highlights then matte is new to me. I've read some about it online. Something about surface tension?

Naryn Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I love the green, that test mini is one of the best DA I've seen in a long time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4834858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 @IRON What Green did you use as the base? They really do have an old school DA vibe and it's great. Caliban Green is an abomination and should be binned IMO Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4842125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrilforge Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Awesome!, i see peeps saying it's not how "I" like em...and that's the exact point...they are "HIS" Dark Angel marines,not "YOURS" and that green is damn awesome, decals will show they are Dark Angels and that's all we need...in fact GW should Change the colours of DA's to look like these ... i don't think anyone would refuse to play these if they thought "oh man they're too light?...i can't possibly play a fun game against you now...sorry " p.s Raptors don't have red boltguns or DA wings or checkerboarding on em or awesome purple cloaks... not raptors Cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4850069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 This champion is just amazing. I agree with mithrilforge, GW should update there DA colour scheme to this! The detail is awesome, from the face, decals to the gun and cloak. I look forwad to seeing more and a pic of a whole squad together :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335215-primaris-of-the-first-legion/page/2/#findComment-4850091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
