TheWatchfulEye Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I cant see the image though I can tell by the comments you put alot of effort into those skittarii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I like the shade of green you have used for the details. It just looks right. You could have gone a really bright neon green but that goes with the brass really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightBringer Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Having a read through the thread I have to say this is the best scheme for Skitarii I’ve seen so far! Have you posted a list of the colours you’ve used for it though? I’m getting a half of forgebane this week and want to try my hand at that brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mournfang brown Agrax earthshade Highlight dryad bark That's it. Enjoy Did you mean Sylvaneth Bark? I had to double check since Dryad Bark is darker than the base colour. :) Sounds like a nice straightforward colour scheme to paint and it looks good.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The wood grain is beautiful, but I can't help but think polished metal or ceramic glazing is more appropriate on that chainsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have another Armiger to do, what colours would you suggest? I had considered maybe trying green marble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had considered maybe trying green marble?White, like china, with glazed patterns in the color of your choice. Why make a chainsword look like china? It's a ceramic, the latter of which is known for its hardness, and used in contemporary armor and even knives. (We don't have the technology to mass-produce ceramic of the necessary quality, but the Imperium obviously does, as canon states Marine power armor has "ceramite" plates.)

JeffTibbetts Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Should have warned you, but make sure the armor around the ankles still fits. You can only go so far to the side before it interferes and you might be past that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries about that, I need to peel the foot off and put it back in the right place, I trusted weight and gravity when I should have sat holding it til the glue set!

Vel'Cona Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I gotta agree, this is a pretty rad overall concept. I'd argue that the use of organic armour is something of a blasphemy against the Machine God, but I'm assuming you've already worked that into the background of your FW :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Seriously awesome, the theme is definitely unique. The wooden knight reminds me of the Dr. Who episode, where the Cybermen field wooden cybermen to go undetected. As an idea, wouldn't it make sense to use a gloss varnish ('ardcoat or something) on the wooden parts? Guess it would reinforce the effect of polished wood a bit, compared to just striped camo patterns. Also, some branch marks could fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camouflage is an excellent justification for painting wood grains onto an AdMech vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
