trautz Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 rathul you are asking about the sternguard, right? i was thinking about special helmets for the whole squad, or maybe robes or an alternative helmet-colour (black?green like the purity seals?)

Dusktiger Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 gooing along with the creamcicle color scheme, how about a beige/bleached bone for the veteran helmets? to match the wooden stick. a light wood color would prolly look good, i think.

teku Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 @teku: no, to be honest i dont like star wars very much, i think its at least 3 years agothat i watched a star wars movie. but you are right, colours are similar - but there are many things/products/ice creams :huh: which combine orange and white Ok thanks for the answer :o I was thinking about doing something similiar but then with black and the colours of stars wars. The white you do is super! And i vote for a Bike squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt.rasczak Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Love the scheme. You should name your chapter "The Longhorns" They could be led by "Chapter Master Mack Brown" http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/275px-Big12-Uniform-TX.png Had to get in a plug for the alma mater. Texas Fight! ;) Anyways. The dread looks great, painting is smooth. Can't wait to see those sternguard, they're going to be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retributis Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I love how vibrant the orange is and how smooth the white is :cuss also for the sternguard I'd suggest something like black or blue helmets, something nicely contrasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trautz Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 hm i am not sure if it would look cool to make my sternguard with robes (normal spacemarines without robes) what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Maybe tabards (like black templars) but I wouldn't do robes, they tend not to look that good when on models that don't have that sort of theme (aka Dark Angels and their successors only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbyssKnight Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The color scheme is very well put together. I think I would have liked a light brown on the weapons better than black, but things are looking very good. For the name, how about Solar Swords/Solar Sabres? You mentioned the chapter symbol being a sword. re: Texas Longhorns, yeah it also resembles the Clemson Tiger uniform. Put some black stripes (doesn't have to be a lot, maybe quarter the model and only stripe one arm and the opposite leg), then the name could be the Solar Smilodons or something (Smilodon Sabres? Yeah, I like alliteration). Smilodon is the actual name of the sabre-toothed tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
