Seeking Inspiration: Tactical/Stealthy Phobos

[pauljamesog]

Ahoy guys,

 

I am a fluffy narrative player doing a side project and looking for some help.  

Normally I go for an old school grimdark approach to my armies, but for a change I want to do a side project (for Kill Team) with an Astartes Recon/Infiltrator team in Phobos armour. 

 

First thoughts were a RT era camo scheme (like the Mantis Warriors in the Tranquility Campaign stripes)- but I find that that approach, while different, lacks some pop and appeal overall.

 

So other than Raptors (which everyone seems to do) - what other Chapter embraces Recon/Guerrilla/Stealth style fighting and uses tactical colours?

As its a low model KT force, this is about the right look and theme

 

Would love some ideas / suggestions / links

Thanks in advance!

There was a neat Blood Angels army in desert camouflage on WarCom a while back. I don't know about embracing stealthy fighting, but guerilla Blood Angels is an interesting idea, no?

I've started a side all Phobos army.

Ultras are my go to.

For the infiltrator guys only the shoulder, the chest plate and groin are blue. All the other armor is black.

Saw a mini on Instagram done this way, looked amazing.

My Reivers are all blue, as they don't have infiltrate.

I find camo paint jobs work to well, and the mini disappears then.

My general paint scheme is a rolling storm scheme. Like they are coming out of a thick fog, when they are together it is hard to focus on any one kinda of like a zebra effect.

The Howling Griffins were pictured in Night World camo in one of the Forge World books, you could apply that to any chapter in theory.

I really like the transition camo paint jobs. Like going from full woodland camo to chapter colors.
