stephane4985 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi all, so I got almost 50 primaris fist painted, except for the eyes. I would like to have your suggestion of citadel color for the eyes. I know there are 3 colors usually used, red, blue and green. But what are the actual gw color used for those 3 colors? And what are you though about going blue, red or green? Thanks!

Mazer Rackham Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hello! Personally, I would ask what Company you're doing, as my own IF were 4th Company and therefore had green trims, so I chose blue as a contrast to the yellow. It worked to unify the army with a subtle theme when I added Veterans with their white accents. My penny anyway :) MR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephane4985 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 I doing the classic 3rd company (red trim) and i use flash gitz yellow as final layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazer Rackham Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Classic is good! Perhaps then, I would consider red or green, with a leaning towards green to give the models a contrasting accent colour, make them pop a bit. MR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I don't know that Imperial Fists eyes are shown, but if you download the Citadel Paint app for your mobile device (it's free), you can see a number of different color recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephane4985 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Good idea about the app but sadly they don't show the eyes colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andes Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I use the 'usual' gem process with: GW Waaagh! Flesh GW Warboss Green GW Skarsnick Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshikai Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I enjoyed green, appologies for that horribly blown up pic, never finished that Model or did Touch ups, I think it was Waagh Flesh, black wash, Snot Green, the old Scorpion Green and maybe a touch of yellow.

stephane4985 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Nice. Thanks all. I think I got the color I need for the eyes. I would have another request for you though. Can you help me figure out the colors to use for the capes of the different captains and librairian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmmmm Napalm Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The most recent IF units that GW painted up for their showcases (seen in the IF supplement) largely feature blue lenses, for both the 3rd and 5th companies. I don't play IF myself, but personally I like how blue looks. It contrasts nicely, and is also a less commonly seen color for SM helmet lenses.

andes Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Both red and purple go well with IF yellow. I'd start with those for cloak colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
