marcus Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hello all I've just started to create a DIY Chapter, to be named either the Praetors of Legatus/Tentark not sure which yet! This is my WIP colour scheme for them(model needs a bit of finishing off). My problem is that I don't really know what colour the weaponry should be, I was thinking bleached bone might be ok, I just don't think the black works to well, any suggestions would be appreciated I'm at a bit of a block with it. Anyway here's the pic http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b246/brother_marcus/Praetor.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moribund the Burgermeister Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 If you keep the bone colour as dark and gritty as on the what's-it-called on his left shoulder pad it should work. All I'm worried about is that it might be too overpowering... Moribund.

HGAAAW Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 i agree with Moribund btw nice painting far better then mine ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/#findComment-990701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubal Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Black ALWAYS works ^_^ I can't think of another colour that works; The main armour colour isn't interesting enough, the bone might look too flashy, and the same goes for the blue on the fist. Adding a fourth colour is just asking for trouble. Stick with the black I say.

TheDarkApostle Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Looks all good to me :D If you keep the bone colour as dark and gritty as on the what's-it-called on his left shoulder pad it should work. That's the Termiator Honours, right? Could be the Crux Terminatus though, can't remember for the moment... ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/#findComment-990723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSpeed Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I agree i think the bone might be a bit too over powering highlight the black up nicely, an i think it would look great Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/#findComment-990767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 I quite like the idea of dark and gritty bone, I may do a test on one of the weapons, If I keep them black I may well ditch the blue, Looking at the picture now I think it may have been a mistake ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/#findComment-990773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luku Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The model looks great as is! Keep the black, as stated before it stops the model having too many colours and keeps it looking good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/#findComment-990986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeLi-N Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh :huh: I am of the ilk: "Orangey and Purpley colours should be used more". I like the scheme, and I like the blue, although it would be cool if it was SLIGHTLY darker (i.e. didn't highlight to white, and was a bit more the darkness of the fist) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/#findComment-991001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampiric_Turnip Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I think you should put in more of the bone color because I love it. :) And the thing on his shoulders is called a crux terminatus. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85615-wip-colour-scheme/#findComment-991799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
