zbo Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well Me and 2 freinds have taken in upon overselves to paint, 1500 points worth of miniatures in 6 days. Crazy, tell me about it. We plan to start on the 29th, so that we can get all our exams out of the way. Were not planning any conversions before hand so that we all are they when things get decided. Were also not making an army list first, so that me make some cool models rather then just painting an army. The basic idea behind the army, is a company of 'Host of Ares' was lost on a planet traped in a warp storm, now 1000 years later, thier back and ready to dish the pain. Thier all really Knightly but Damaged, aka broken armour ect.... The paint scheme is yet undecided but at the moment it looks like it will be a very dark green, much like dark angels. Any tips on being able to get this done in time? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90069-1500-points-in-6-days/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Aerethos Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Check out this link, it's a good read and helps quite a bit. Click on me I think a dark green with dark grey added in would look good, it would also help differentiate from the Dark Angels.

Master_Aerethos What do you mean by drak grey added? do you mean added into the green? Or added to the colour scheme? We'd planned to add in my gold too just to break it up. Also the conversions should hopefully make it look differnt Cheers for that articel, it was really help full. Not long till we start :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90069-1500-points-in-6-days/#findComment-1036195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Any tips on being able to get this done in time? Yeah, stop posting and start painting :P ! if you need to mix paints, have them pre-mixed in an empty pot. look for a color scheme that gives you decent results with a minimum of effort (like Shining Gold with a Brown Ink wash for golds, Boltgun Metal and a Black Ink wash for metals). Don't shy away from inks :wink: . use colors with a decent coverage, like DA Green, Ultramarines Blue, Chaos Black, ... . If you're trying yellow or a similar color you won't even have the basecoats ready in 6 days :tu: . airbrush on your armour color.
