Paulie771 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Looking to get my Neophytes painted and really don't know what the best scheme is to have them done in. I assume black armor w/ white shoulders, but what about the fabric? Is it a tan or a gray or straight black? I can't seem to find any good art or armies that show this very well.

Lord Marshal Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 At least in Codex: Armageddon, the depiction of scout fatigues varies from black on the 'Eavy Metal models to tan. If I remember right that one comic series had them in black as well. Personally, I think the tan looks best as it breaks up the monotony of just black/white and works well with your power armoured models having tan tabards.

Brother Tyler Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The Black Templars neophytes that Matt Hutson painted in 3rd edition used what looks like an off-white (a very light tan, perhaps): And How To Paint Space Marines depicted a drawing with a similar off-white for neophytes, but also showed painted models wearing black clothing: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363386-canon-neophyte-paint-scheme-or-art-depicting-them/#findComment-5510698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think they are not consistant - but maybe its different on each crusade / depends on a special era. Its not that cannon which is inherent.

Ray_K Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've always thought grey or tan. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363386-canon-neophyte-paint-scheme-or-art-depicting-them/#findComment-5510957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Grey, tan, brown, black. It tends to be pretty much one of these but isn't set in stone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363386-canon-neophyte-paint-scheme-or-art-depicting-them/#findComment-5511209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Grey, tan, brown, black. It tends to be pretty much one of these but isn't set in stone I painted them in all this forms over the last years. And just realised it later ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363386-canon-neophyte-paint-scheme-or-art-depicting-them/#findComment-5511219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie771 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Excellent resources and replies. Thank you all for contributing. I'm thinking a light grey for my crusade's Neophytes is in order.

Marshal Vespasian Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I think Ill go for vmc deck tan and off white for my newly acquired metal neophytes when I get around to painting them.
