Leagues of Votann - alternative color schemes

[Kelborn]

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!

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

I have no plans to paint it but it would be interesting to see a NASA take on the Votanns

It's what I am Going to try to do. It's going to be difficult I think

[Malakithe]

Im liking the Conglomerate red style. Might try to spin it up by making it metallic

[Emicus]

I hereby sacrifice a goat to the Photoshop Gods imploring for a 'what if votann, but iron warriors scheme'.
 

So much glorious hazard stripes.

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

[phandaal]

Ymir's red scheme is looking good. Might also go for a green/gold/steel color scheme:

And the "beserks" need a conversion with orange mohawks.

Been messing with the Brokhyr -- I like the frame cooler instead of bronze -- not sure I'm into the black(blue) and Yellow though yet.. we'll see

I LOVE THIS! - Thank you

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

[jimbo1701]

Can anyone with some photoshop skill knock up what the original squat colour schemes would look like applied to a votann warrior?

[Pacific81]

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. 

[Cyrox]

I like those closed helmets for the Exo armoured guys!

[Pacific81]

Me too, im hoping the sprue will come with enough of them to equip the entire squad in that way.

Another alt color scheme here:

Looks like Kronus Hegemony.

[Emicus]

Tron-scheme?

[Pacific81]

They look great, I like the orange jumpsuit and dark armour combination.

[T-Grizz]

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.

It seems a shade too light on the painting video when compared to the artwork we've seen.

They do look cool

[Darnok]

Going for the classic blue scheme of Starcraft Terrans should work well:

[tinpact]

I like the idea of doing them up in a glossy black, although I really like the Urani colors too.

[Kelborn]

I'm in love....

And tempted to get some minis and try those schemes out...
