Bonehead Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Right, dead simple. My current project is a bunch of star wars storm trooper ripoff traitor guard. There's debate regarding the colour the goggles should be. We've narrowed it down to Blue, Red, or Black with a drop of gloss varnish; see below for visualisation. Please let me know which you prefer- just a direct statement, please, not 'if you want x you should do y,' just tell me which one you like best. Thanks in advance Edited April 7 by W.A.Rorie Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387782-simple-opinion-poll-current-project-at-a-standoff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution W.A.Rorie Posted April 7 Solution Share Posted April 7 (edited) Added poll for you Voted Red. Most lenses in Star Wars Imperial force were black, dark green, and reddish brown (Vader). I feel the red on the model gives it a better color pop than the blue and the black is too much black, even if gloss.

Mazer Rackham Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) The red looks as good as the blue, but the red adds warmth and ties into a Khorne colour palette, whereas the blue makes the model cooler, and looks less imposing and malevolent. The red also works with the spot colour on the base.

Uprising Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I voted blue lenses, as I think it looks and painted better, but overall red lenses ties better with the theme (cultist of khorne), and the current basing. Just my 2 cents.

Brother Christopher Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I voted blue, which looks best on its own. But I'll agree with the others who said that the red lenses work better with the base and background. I think you can't go wrong with either one. I definitely wouldn’t go with the black ones, though.

The Pounder Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The blue is very well done but I think the red looks angrier which is perfect for Khorne!

Firedrake Cordova Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I voted red, although blue looks fine too (and I'm sure I've seen GW use blue lenses on a similar scheme).

Heraclite Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 as others have said, blue looks really good but red ties in better with them being khorne worshippers You might want to use blue if you do a squad of tzeentch worshippers though!

Jhadzaan Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Initially I was going to say black because that's what Stormtroopers have, but given the Khorne video I agree with the rest that suggested red.
