sloppyds Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 This year I sold my guard army to...buy another guard army. It sounds ridiculous but I was simply bored with my steel legion and felt it was time for a change and I’m much happier with the way my current build is going. This is the color scheme I want to paint my infantry...what I need help is what color should all my tanks be? I’m thinking just a regular green color with weathering and decals... http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/igbeta2.php?b62c=@iakk7_hLKco.hbUc8...i9aHM@@@hFZ83hFZ83hFZ83@___i9aHMi9aHM@@_@h5wf2@& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Do you have any pictures of your painted Guard? A green similar to the one you have here would work, but I reckon it'd be good with another colour or two for a camouflage scheme on your tanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'd suggest using the primary colours as a three colour camo scheme: These are just a couple of suggestions but there are plenty more out there :) : http://camopedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page (just click on a country and enjoy the ride :) .

WarriorFish Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The B&C 101 has an old topic, it's a little out of date but should cover it. If you need more help you need only ask :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Ruminahui Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Looking good - its nice to see those old school models getting such nice treatment - takes me back to highschool. One thing I would recommend is brown washes or inks to the skin and fatigues to bring out the creases and other features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostromo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Weird that so many guys do only think of colors- but not the reason behind them. Yes, one could start with the colors and then start thinking why they make sense. Why not starting with the background? From what kind of world does the army come from? Is it specialised on a certain environment? (Tallarn, Catachan, Krieg) Does it make sense that local terrain and flora influenced equipment design? (Mordian and Pretorians are NOT). If so - is there anything special? (Krieg. Or maybe the plants on the homeworld have no chlorophyl) Do they usually operate on their homeworld or anywhere else? Any cultural impact? (Mordians) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
