Studio Silvernale Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ok here's my test figures. One tactical marine, one scout and one sergeant. I'd like feedback so I can improve them where needed. I know the color scheme probably isn't 100%, but I want them to be "my" army, not just another clone. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/Asamiya_Chan/WH40K/DSC00545.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/Asamiya_Chan/WH40K/DSC00552.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/Asamiya_Chan/WH40K/DSC00546.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronophague Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 1 is better than 0, isn't it? :D You could try a wash on them, to get the dark recesses showing, the plating on the sargeant(the guy swinging a sword) belly could use some dark in the recesses of the vent holes. You could also hightlight the colours you've used just mix in spacewolves grey in the colours, and white for the light blue, and paint some highlights. Also, you should base them, you always get more "points" if you base your models, it's so easy and quick, that there's absolutely no excuse not to do it. They remind me of SU-27s' because of the color scheme... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMcL63 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ok here's my test figures. One tactical marine, one scout and one sergeant. I'd like feedback so I can improve them where needed. I know the color scheme probably isn't 100%, but I want them to be "my" army, not just another clone. Well they are certainly exactly that Togusa-san! A very striking colour scheme indeed. Sooner you than me painting that pattern on an entire army of minis, it'll be hard work. I agree with Chronophague that they need some definition. Washes would work, although they might dull the basic colours. Working up from black and leaving the recesses black would work nicely. Highlights would be nice too, although I feel that you're going to face one of the major problems of camo-type colour schemes: needing different tones to highlight the different colours. This could get very fiddly. I would suggest trying to develop a single highlight tone that would work for both colours, something which might require varying the base colours of the camo pattern I suppose. If you're going for tabletop standard then 1 or maybe 2 highlight tones would be enough- you're only going for definition rather than the multilayered blending of a GD entrant after all. Hope this helps. Good luck with your new army. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artimis Vergadin Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 To bright. Try darker colors. Dark blues and blacks. :lol: Artimis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcL63 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 To bright. Try darker colors. Dark blues and blacks. :lol: Artimis This is an interesting point. Darker colours would certainly make using washes for depth easier because darker colours wouldn't be dulled down so much by the washes. They might also make it easier to find a simple highlighting scheme that doesn't need different tones for each colour in the base scheme. That last point is speculation mark you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilrik Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I like em , did something similar with my Dark angels, http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d141/Evilrik/DArbside2.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d141/Evi.../Term1front.jpg Nothing wrong with Camouflage marines :lol: +++ Oversized images turned to links, please refer to the forum rules for more info. +++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Silvernale Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thanks for the input. The colors were chosen based on the UK marines picture list (I tried to match them as close as I could for such a small picture). The base isn't done because it's still WIP.

Dr. Clock Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 helpful colour theory hint: blue and green do not belong together. Blue and red? yes please. Cheers, The Good Doctor. p.s.The net is vast and infinite!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Silvernale Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Well I'm pretty sure even tho it looks like urban camo, the Executioners aren't really meant as camo. No more than say, the Minotaurs or any other flashy epilepsy-inducing chapters. I toyed with adding some blotches of storm blue or codex gray, but that doesn't really show on the picture on UK site. http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/spa...m_gallery/3.htm That's what I'm going by. I don't know if I'll add the dots or not -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I like the older version better. With they blue-ish armor with blackish camo and brownish dots in the camo markings. I have a pic but do not know if it is breaking IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princeofchaos Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I like 'em. Yes, they do need some deffinition, but besides that, they are easily recognized as Executioners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
