Aothaine Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hey everyone! Just curious what your thoughts would be on this question. You have a space marine with white armor with the recesses using a blue wash for the "Cold White" look. Any plasma will be the bright white-blue color. Base is going to be the Mars colored cracked ground. What color would you paint the eyes? Red would tie in with the ground. Blue would tie in with the plasma and shading. Green would tie in with the blue plasma, shading and yellow trim on the shoulder pads (Rift Stalkers). I've seen red eyes on white armor and it looks okay. But I want something that really stands out and brings all the colors together. Maybe Purple? A blend of red and blue which could die in the shading and the base? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Axineton Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I’ve actually gone yellow on my Ultramarines veteran and it looks pretty cool mate. I can’t remember if it was the cassandora yellow wash or the lamenters yellow glaze now though!

armarnis Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 rethink the plasma effect into orange and paint the eyes similar :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350468-space-marines-eye-color-with-white-armour/#findComment-5170748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 rethink the plasma effect into orange and paint the eyes similar Orange on the white could look really nice... I'll do up a test model and take a gander.

BitsHammer Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Since most of the model is fairly cool (being white with a blue wash) a warm color like yellow or the suggested orange would have more pop visually.
