Kelborn Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Hello there, with both, the starting box and the codex drawing closer and closer, I thought it might be time to gather some inspirational stuff in here for the coming projects. Recently, I had a fun brainstorm session on discord with some pals and one suggested the color scheme of old Lego sets. Long speech short (and without trying to advertise those sets), here are some results of said brainstorm (even saw a Mighty Turtles scheme which was simply brilliant!). WARNING! Nostalgia hits hard! *edit* I screwed up the spoiler tags and have to revise it later on. *edit* Furthermore, here's a link of old 90s space sets of which some schemes would fit very well, too! https://www.google.de/search?q=lego+90s+space+sets&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi-lLqNp4L6AhU38LsIHWIZALcQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=lego+90ssets&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQARgBMgYIABAeEAcyBggAEB4QBzIGCAAQHhAHMggIABAeEAgQBzIICAAQHhAIEAcyCAgAEB4QCBAHMggIABAeEAgQBzIICAAQHhAIEAcyCAgAEB4QCBAHMggIABAeEAgQBzoFCAAQgARQoQ1YiCxgiDxoBXAAeACAAWSIAfoHkgEEMTMuMZgBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=_VsYY_6hNbfg7_UP4rKAuAs&bih=730&biw=1200 My question to you: do you have already a scheme in mind? Something to draw inspiration from? Let's share! I'm very eager to see concepts, thoughts and future realizations! :D Cheers, Kel Edited September 7, 2022 by Kelborn QuarterPounder, Gamiel and Nomus Sardauk 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375799-leagues-of-votann-alternative-color-schemes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakithe Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Im liking the Conglomerate red style.

Emicus Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I hereby sacrifice a goat to the Photoshop Gods imploring for a 'what if votann, but iron warriors scheme'.

Cyrox Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I have this scheme in mind, but a darker more industrial Yellow (my photoshop fu is weak) The troops would have the industrial Yellow armour and grey undersuit so as not to confuse them with Kronus Hegmony Chaplain Lucifer, MithrilForge, Paradogmatic and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375799-leagues-of-votann-alternative-color-schemes/#findComment-5865201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Ymir's red scheme is looking good. Might also go for a green/gold/steel color scheme: https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Norse_Dwarfs And the "beserks" need a conversion with orange mohawks.

Pacific81 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I have finished my first Squat.. Going for a combo of yellow and dark green, with some copper/reds mixed in.

jimbo1701 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Can anyone with some photoshop skill knock up what the original squat colour schemes would look like applied to a votann warrior?

Pacific81 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 One of the official Community page photos has got them in this scheme. Its difficult as most of the original Squats had those quilted flak jackets in the dark red, with the dark green cloth trousers/shirt underneath. I guess the combination of colours would still work well as they are complementary, but the standard form of the Squats themselves has changed a lot.

T-Grizz Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I'm liking the URSR rules and most of the color scheme other than the undersuit. I think I'm gonna go with the same color armor and grey undersuits.
